Sylvia, provides outstanding coverage
and a great range of colors. "It's not
water based," she said, "so it doesn't
come off easily. When you put it on, it
really does stay unless you use rubbing
alcohol or loads of baby oil." Because
of extensive layering of body paint, it
took each model several showers and
repeated oil rubdowns to take it all off.
The coyness that Sylvia sees in the
original subjects wasn't part of this work;
the models, after all, were nude except
for the stick-ons and an occasional break
in a loose shirt or robe. "We had them sit
or stand at different times," she said.

n the last installment we focused on those designs that are most pc , ar
with the female clientele, or girl designs if you like. Keeping in the same
vein, today we're going to focus on the opposite side of that design
element and exploit the wonderful world of "boy" designs. How
exciting!
Of course, as always, let me clarify exactly what I'm talking about
when I say "boy" designs. Primarily these are T-shirts I paint that are
bought almost exclusively by boys. It's that simple. And of course, as
always, there are exceptions to this exclusive "boys club" of designs. In
other words, girls occasionally buy them as well. Ironically, however,
they're usually buying them for a boy. Girls love to buy clothes for gifts. We,
however, would generally prefer a nice Nintendo 64 game in our Christmas
stocking. Clothes, although a necessity, aren't usually the most fun or exciting gifts. I like to
lll~nkthat I bridge that gap between the typical boring clothing purchase and that cool game. The coolness of the
airbrush T-shirt tends to offset the initial disappointment of finding an itchy wool sweater in your birthday box. Not that I
brush on a lot of wool sweaters though. You get what I'm saying. It's still clothing, but it's cool clothing. Let's continue on

confuse mvself.
The distinguishing characteristics of the boy design are first found in the color palette. These colors include but aren't
specifically limited to phthalo blue, Caribbean blue, violet, yellow, aqua, and red: a real primary list of colors. Not as
' extensive as the girl list but then again, we boys are a simpler bunch. Or is that simpletons? You decide. As I said in the
last issue, the look is generally quite a bit more rugged as well. Thicker line work and extremely bold color application are
the trademarks of the manly design. Of course attitude is everything. Most of my really popular boy stuff has the "I'm a
bad boy" undertone running through it. Boys like to be thought of as "bad" and girls love the "bad" boy. Come on. Admit
it already. You know the saying, "nice guys finish last." Girls know it too. Oh, for the record, I'm a really bad boy.
Remember too, that these are examples of my hottest selling designs that iust happen to be bought by boys or for boys.
Your list might have some really great stuff in it too, so feel free to add to them. You know, just for the record, if you feel
like sending me some of your best selling stuff, I wouldn't be averse to it. After all, for the last four columns, I have given
you my best stuff so, you know...i s the guilt trip in full effect yet? NO?No problem! That was actually a reminder to keep
sending in some designs for the Shirt du Jour. You never know what might happen. Anyway, on with the list.
