The fun **T-sketch** T-shirt lets your write any message or display any logo or picture on your chest with a cool illumination effect. What you write or draw on the integrated chest display is automatically converted into an [illuminated message or design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scroll-it-to-me) of which you can adjust the intensity.

Perfect for a walking advertisement at a gathering or expo. Or maybe for some fun messages at the club like "easy" or "desperate."

The £29.99 T-sketch is [100% cotton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-tee) and comes with a [lightweight battery pack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magink) that takes 2 x AAA for the illumination.
