All my new designs as well as the "Classic Creeps" . . . together at last:
http://robotmonkeypirate.spreadshirt.com/mani-yack-monsters-C69556 (http://robotmonkeypirate.spreadshirt.com/mani-yack-monsters-C69556)
looks awesome.
are they screen printed or iron-ons?
Cool!!
Those are cool! Wish they were black and in bigger sizes. I am a pretty big guy.
Those rock! The new designs are so true to the original style. This monster kid is old enough to have actually worn the iron-on versions that were available for .99 each at White Front (SoCal version of Target) back in the day.
I scanned an old Captain Company ad , boosted the resolution and then redrew/traced six of the Mini-Yaks in Illustrator as sharp vector artwork. I then added color, printed on high gloss stock and spray mounted all to foam core before trimming out as standees for the kids as decorations last fall.
Questions: Are plain whites available? (eg non-ringer)
And how about youth (other than infant) sizes? I gotta get my kid off my back about getting these.
Thanks.
These shirt designs are digitally printed directly on the fabric. They are neither iron-ons nor silkscreens.
The current shirt color/size options are all I offer at the moment. If I were to get more special requests I'd consider widening the options.
Look for this ad in the August issue of Scary Monsters Magazine:

I love 'em!!!!! ;D
That's a great vintage looking ad! Could have come right out of a '60s monster mag!
Black or grey shirts would be cool. nice job
Thanks, Mike!
I pride myself on an attention to period details.
Wow! I second the great graphic design quality as well as a desired black and white version.
These are so cool. I have a set of your originals and mini iron on's and have been trying to figure out what kind of shirt and color to put them on. They look good on those ringers with white background. Have you tried the iron ons on a colored shirt? I have a tee shirt shop by my house and thought about getting them to apply the decal. Do they hold up pretty well, are there any special instructions if I were gonna do it myself? Thanks Troy
I do not recommend applying my transfers to anything other than white shirts. They are very easy to work with and hold up quite well IMO. As per the instruction sheet I include with all purchases, ironing these on with a household iron works great as does a commercial heat press.
Thanks for your praise and support. Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Thanks for the tip. May just do it myself then. I probably have the instructions somewhere, I've been putting off doing this for a year now! Think I'm gonna frame some, and iron some. ;D
If you've misplaced your instruction sheet, just send me your email and I'll get a new one out to you ASAP.

Absolutely!!
Thank you for making the Barnabas green! That was definitely my favorite color scheme for him. Barnabas is coming my way!
Thanks for your order!
I've had a new development in this area:
A US marketing firm who holds a limited license on GODZILLA (as well as some other monster) has just commissioned me to to do a Mani-Yack style illustration for their product line.
When I get final approval, I'll post that image here.

We had a blast making our monster shirts this Halloween! They were very easy to iron on and look very vintage especially on the ring tees we bought from old navy. I made 6 for myself and the kids wanted the mini monsters. They look very nice on colored shirts, as long as they are light colored. My favorite was the phantom on a light mint green tee. Turned out awsome! Thanks!
Thanks for making my artwork part of your family's Halloween festivities . . . what a compliment!
Gillman-Fan- I also wore my Metaluna Mutant t-shirt over the Halloween weekend and received compliments as well. Except for one guy who asked me "Is that from a movie?". I just told him yes, without further explantion. The kids really loved it and I waited to wear it just so it would be fresh and crisp for the holiday!
Monster fan Gary Gilmore sent me this photo of his gal pal Aarti sporting one of my Zacherely transfers . . . next to the legend himself!

Great work. Another request for plain white shirts, please.
