I've done silkscreening on various occasions, but nothing as cool as what I've done by hand (yet). Lately, I've been doing custom t-shirt art for friends as gifts. The dragon on the left is done mostly by painting. I made some half-failed attempts at stenciling and spraying a diluted white paint in with a mini spray bottle to get the glowing, misty effect. Most of it soaked through and into my backing board, or puddled under the stencil. Next time, less water. Dark shirts are just more difficult in general. I had to go over all the outlines extra with the opaque pen to get them to stay in. Some of this one is done in fabric paints, and some with Golden's GAC 900 (fabric painting medium) with acrylics. The Mandelbrot section was all done in fabric marker. Much more control. Just blue and black. I spent a lot of time studying mandelbrot images to get the feel for the pattern, and it became easier and easier as I went along (at least until it just got to tiny to deal with). The left curve extends onto the back a bit.
