Quick 'n dirty silk screening - Link.
Professional and involved - Link.
Neither seem particularly daunting once you grasp the concept. I just have to start drawing up or looking for some designs..."

I started screening band tshirts over the summer and have had some awesome results. I learned how to use photo emulsion from this tutorial. Check it out.

Those are some extreme examples there with the messy DIY and four-color poster printing. I'd suggest starting off with a regular silk-screen method and using one color. Just pick up a Speedball kit and off you go.

I am thinking about doing this with my moleskin. Did your editor use the cheap method to do this?

This is fun! I haven't done silk-screning since the 9th grade (20 years ago! Yikes!) I am going to run out and pick up some equipment to do the quick and dirty method tomorrow.
