Q&A

Q: How do you create your work? What tools do you normally use?
A:
I start almost every project digitally in photoshop to lay out the sketch directly on your canvas/photo ( car, boat, truck, t-shirt etc ) with my Wacom Cintiq 13HD. It happens that I draw directly on paper, snap a photo, throw it in to photoshop and later on do the real work in Illustrator so everything is crisp before landing in your email.
If you're on a tight budget, I can just do the sketch and you can do the illustrator part yourself ( The vector process )

Q: How much for you to design something for me / our company?
A: Nothing is written in stone since all projects are different. So please reach out with your idea and we go from there.

Q: If i ride with your sled wrap design or purchase clothes from your webshop, will you help me share my pictures on your social media platforms?
A: 
Absolutley! It means a lot to see you guys rocking my creations. I will be more than happy to help you with that so please send me your pictures, videos etc to info@leifalvarssonart.com with your instagram name.

Q:
 Can you draw me something in exchange of shouts on social media?

A: That will not happen.

Q: Do you print and ship out the graphics yourself?
A:
Unfortunately I don't, I create the art file that you'll bring to you local print shop to have it printed and applied to your project, whatever that might be. I can also help you navigate to the right shop. Just let me know.

Q: I have a wrap company and i need help with a design to my client, can i hire you for custom projects from time to time?
A: Yes you can, jump to my contact page HERE

Q: Which T-shirt and hoodie brands are you printing on?
A: The Premium T-shirt is a Next level 3600 100% ring-spun combed cotton, Fine jersey (My favorite) Softest of them all.
The lightweight T-shirt is a unisex Gildan 64000, super soft and stretchy.
The heavyweight T-shirt is a Gildan 5000, a workhorse with a sweet boxy Classic fit, not so stretchy.
For the Premium hoodies i've chosen to print on a soft premium Stanley/Stella.
A little bit taller and more narrow. I'm a size Medium and the M fits great but i feel the Large is better for me on this one.
So please always double check the size, you might want it more loose or more fit. We all have our personal flavours.

Q: Do you screen print your clothes?
A: No, The T-shirts and hoodies are printed with a DTG printer ( Direct to garment ) The dark garment are printed with a white underbase before printing the colors which gives a little thicker feel on the print.
The print on the white garment are really smooth since it won't need the white underbase.
Both ways turns out great. Just want to make sure you know this before choosing colors.
The swimwear and leggins are sublimated

Q: 
How does sublimation printing work?
A: 
Sublimation printing starts with the design being printed on a sheet of paper. The sublimation paper is infused with sublimation ink that is then transferred to the material using a heat press.
Heat is vital to the process. It opens up the material of the item being printed, and activates the sublimation ink. For the ink to become part of the material, it’s put under immense pressure, and exposed to high temperatures of 350-400 ºF (176-205 ºC).

Q: Who should I contact if I have any enquiries?
