Help me make a science hip hop shirt

How can I replicate this tribute shirt for my friend's birthday ?

I have a friend that loves science and hip hop and I thought that for his birthday I would make him a mash-up of sorts. But I don't want it to look awful but this will be my first shirt making so any advice would be great. These are the scientists I want to use if thats any help, and double check of what I would want it to look like.

Tesla&
Chauvin&
Galilei&
Bohr&
Cavendish&
Joule.

Best answer: Spreadshirt or Cafepress might work. Cafepress would probably be easier, but spreadshirt willlook better (Cafepress & Spreadshirt use different printing processes). Spreadshirt might want you to sent an Illustrator file- do you have access to illustrator?

Best answer: If you want more info on the original shirt, go here. I would probably limit the number of names you choose to four or five for greater recognition of those familiar with the original (and all the knock-offs).

That being said, I was able to create a design very close to the original with Spreadshirt, however there is only room for five lines.

Best answer: Are you crafty? If so, it will take you an afternoon to make a stencil of all that.

Use the freezer paper method.

But def pony up for some good fabric ink. Acrylic, esp. crappy acrylic, will crumple and crack.
