any time you create any creative work be it image or sound file or painting, it is automatically copyrighted. You do need to have proof though, such as the origional high def image on your camera or the file.
First, send an email asking where they got the image/ idea for the shirt. You need to have them acknowledge that they did not create it from scratch.
If you have this available, you can threaten that you will press legal actions if it is not removed, or you are not compensated.

Did you demand payment for the usage he did have? You do know you're entitled to damages if he's selling/sold your shit?
