Batman Beyond Painted shirt

I have done a few painted wearable art pieces before and my husband always wants me to make him something... I have reservations about it because I am obviously close to him, so, whatever I do has to be perfect.  When it comes to my style of art I am not perfect.  I am sloppy.  I try to do art as fast as possible.  So, to do something that is a well known logo (but I don't know it very well) than there is a lot of pressure to do it right.  I am somewhat pleased but I know there is a lot I can learn.  I would like it to be more of a screen printing technique for all of the shirts I plan to do.
 
Here are some pictures of my "in-perfect" process.
 
 
One part Fabric Textile Medium
Two parts paint
 
Iron it after it is completely dried just to sort of set the paint into the fabric.
 
 

Wash then air dry.
After it has been warn and dried for over 24 hours you can wash it normally.  There will be a little sticking don't stress, this is expected.  Just air dry it to cut down on pulled up paint.
 
Some tips to try for yourself.
 
1. Make sure your clothes are washed and dried.
2. Keep the fabric tight before painting. I used  binder clips and a cutting board.
3. Place a piece of plastic like a plastic bag underneath the shirt so it doesn't stick.
4. Create a stencil with self-adhering shelf paper using the negative space of the paper to fill in with the paint.]
