T-shirts!

If there's one thing I have always wanted to do, was my own t-shirts customizations. I always envy the people who wear those clever-phrased tshirts, especially because I never actually found a place who sold them. And for quite some time I've been making a list of all the things I would put on a t-shirt, so that one day I would pick up my own lazy ass from the chair and start working on them.

Meanwhile, almost three years have passed. Lazy assed once, lazy assed forever. A few hours ago I stumbled with an online shop for music related tshirts - another thing I always wanted to have. But I never wanted to spend a lot of money for them - sure, everyone's proud about they really like and love. But paying €25 for it? No sir. If that wasn't enough, the only music related shirts which sell out there are death metal ones... and I don't like death metal. Sorry if you've mistaken me for a nervous headbanger.

So I thought, I have Google! Why not make my own groupie yay yay yay bands tshirts? I've been working on some previews for the last couple of hours, and I truly think this time, will be the time. There's a lot of work involved - most of the images I've found are low resolution, and it will take me a long time to perform some vectorization so I can make them bigger. But, I honestly hope to have most of them ready within a month or two. I'll let you sneak the previews I've made earlier.















Buzzcocks! Don't be fooled by their name; they rock and kick ass.


Mr. Johnny Cash. A tribute to my ol' country side.


Joy Division. Because love can tear me apart.


Ramones, my favourite old style polished punk.



New Order. So simple yet so appealing. Besides, I'll look like a "no" person.


No introducing needed.


I am currently working on Pink Floyd's tshirt. Next on the list are The Divine Comedy. I want so bad to make Jeff Buckley's, The Smiths, Fantomas, Screaming Trees, Depeche Mode, Pulp and Tom Waits t-shirts, but it's difficult to find some good art to work with. Or at least with decent resolution. So any help from these you can give me, I would appreciate. I'll keep this updated as I work on them - there are still a lot of fonts and artwork to vectorize.

Keep rockin'.
