Plane & Simple on Southwest

I love the detail in this airplane tattoo!

(Well I can see why the first one I sent was a bit over the top for you guys. So I’m sending this version too)

My own private jet. Was done by Daniel at the Bizzart studio in Jerusalem.

When I hit 5,000 followers…

I think I will plan out a special trip somewhere. Or start getting some of the states in my tattoo colored in. Or perhaps another travel related tattoo…

Either/or, I think it’d be an appropriate celebration.

Thoughts?

Flight 1833 11/5

LAS - PHX

Well my flight plans tonight changed about 5 times… not surprising for a Friday night in Vegas, I guess.

I was originally planning on taking an earlier flight out until I discovered the flight was completely full. I was then going to take the flight after that out, until I discovered that the original “early” flight was delayed until 10pm so everyone from that flight was going to try to get out on the next one. There were 91 standbys… 91!!! So I knew I wasn’t going to get out on that one.

It was finally decided that I’d just leave on my originally planned flight at 9pm. There were only supposed to be 60 or so people on the flight… but it ended up leaving with only two free seats.

I texted my buddy that was also at the airport. He was on the complete opposite of the terminal but ran over to my gate to say hello and give me a hug. That made my evening!

After I got all settled in to my seat, I realized that there was a slim-to-none chance I’d have the seat next to me open. The kid that sat next to me ended up being the son of a guy who owns a very popular liquor store chain in Las Vegas. We chatted a little bit before the plane landed.

Now for the last part… the minute the plane landed, someone ripped a NASTY fart. N-A-S-T-Y. It was type where you all kinda look around to see who has the guilty look on their face. People, if you’re going to fart, know the proper techniques…

And now that I say that, I think I will start working on a post about how to properly fart on an airplane.

I updated my profile picture with the new shading I got done on my airplane.

I’m still not sure if I’m ready to commit to color on the states…?

My airplane t-shirts (with tutorial)

Now that this semester is over, I had some time to burn yesterday… so I painted these airplane tees!

If you’d like a tutorial on how to make your own shirts like these, I’ll provide one at the bottom of this post. :)

So now for the tutorial! :) (I’ll use the pictures I took when I made a t-shirt for the Plane & Simple blog!)

What you’ll need:

A printed out image/logo/etc. of what you want stenciled
X-acto knife (or something similar)
Freezer paper
An old magazine
Iron
Paint brush
Acrylic paint
Plain t-shirt

So let’s start out with your image - if you’re just starting off, use a relatively simple image with just two colors. The more complex your image, the more cutting and difficulty. Also, letters are incredibly time consuming and difficult to do - so I only recommend letters if you have the time and patience.

Cut out a sheet of freezer paper that will cover your image completely, then tape the freezer paper (shiny side down) on top of the image. It’s important that the shiny side is down (you’ll see why in a second)…

Place an old magazine underneath your image so that your knife doesn’t cut through and damage whatever you’re cutting on.

Now (carefully!!!) use your X-acto knife to trace around the image like so…

When your image is completely cut out, you’ll have your stencil!

Remove the original sheet of paper so you only have the freezer paper in hand. Take that freezer paper and place it on your t-shirt where ever you want it.

Plug in your iron and set it on cotton setting. It doesn’t have to be fully heated up in order for this next process to work.

Place your iron on the stencil that is placed on your shirt. If the iron is warm enough, it will make the freezer paper adhere to the t-shirt.

Wait for your shirt/stencil to cool before you start painting.

Remember that old magazine you were using when you cut out your image? Take that same magazine and place it between the front and back of the shirt (where your body would be). This prevents the paint from bleeding through the shirt.

You’ll want to use acrylic paint. You can find this in any craft store.

When you begin painting, be sure your paint is situated close to your stencil to prevent any drops landing on your shirt. You don’t need any special paint brush - just a cheap one that’ll do the job!

When you’re done painting, it should look something like this -

Now let the paint dry.

If you’re using white paint, I recommend letting the paint dry and then paint another layer on. In fact, I always recommend a second layer of paint no matter what color - but if you’re short on time, one layer will do.

After your paint is dry, you can peel up the stencil.

Vola!

Your shirt should look something like this -

For this shirt, I hand painted (in red) the letters that had spaces in them such as the P, A, & and O. I also covered up that little drop that landed to the left of the left plane.

Now, the final and most important step is putting your shirt (inside-out) in the dryer on high heat before you wash/wear it. By putting it in the dryer, it sets the paint - which will make your shirt last longer. Craking in the paint is to be expected - after all, it’s a homemade thing. But it looks awesome nonetheless.

If you have any questions, feel free to message me!

Enjoy!

“ So airplane airplane sorry I’m late. I’m on my way so don’t close that gate. If I don’t make that then I’ll switch my flight, and I’ll be right back at it by the end of the night.
