ESP
I’m calling this shirt the ESP shirt, but its just as much about remote viewing as it is about extrasensory perception in general. So far people get the idea just by looking at it, so whatever you see in it, that’s what it is.
The government has put money into remote viewing research and programs, but I don’t know if they are doing it anymore. I think they officially stopped funding, but who knows what they are doing in secret. I believe it wasn’t that the US thought remote viewing was so powerful, but that other countries like the Soviet Union had psychic spies, and we didn’t want to be left out. From what I’ve heard they did develop a program that could be taught to the average person, so you didn’t have to be natually psychic to be a psychic spy, although I’m sure it couldn’t hurt. There are people who still claim to teach this method, and I’ve always wanted to try the courses, but I never have. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was all bogus, and it also wouldn’t surprise me if it was for real.
So for the graphic I wanted to have somebody looking at something and somebody else seeing a picture of that object in their mind. That isn’t exactly remote viewing, but any images of remote viewing didn’t exactly read as paranormal. They think of a place and then that place exists? How do you know they aren’t just remembering some vacation or something. So I needed two people sort of transmitting thoughts to one another. So I sketched out a couple guys I found on the internet.

Then those pencil drawings are brought into Illustrator and traced. Then I chose a flower for them to look at, because its a simple graphic and easily recognizable. Also I think I remember them doing a similar experiment with two twins in the series Taken when they are trying to find people who can power the spacecraft they found.

The line work was too thin for flex printing, so I had to save it as a png with an alpha channel. I’ve ordered this shirt though and it looks pretty good.
