excremental as anything #2

Cathie Tranent, 9 months ago

Cool.

Excremental is so right …. it’s very little wonder the damn things disappeared so quickly!!
But enough of my disdain for the cassette tape …. the T is well good!!

It’s kinda like chalk on a blackboard
very retro
I have some wonderful memories on tape.
good work
different

Lucan, this really works for 2 and a half reasons.
1. The overall shape the design drags the eye right into it, makes you want to see further.
Also, the repeated design further strengthens that ( that`s the half)
2. The Pencil tones, once inverted, reminds me a lot of drawing on the blackboard at school with white chalk., and casette tapes were a large part of that time period for me.
Intentional or not, this has nostalgia written all over it.

I see I`m not alone on the blackboard reference. I also see I type to slow.

Excremental….........nah. Who could forget the frustration and delight at having to rewind and fast forward to exactly the spot you were seeking? They may be long-dead but I still have a box full. Fantastic image and excellent composition…...........the chalky effect gives the illusion of past versus present.

thats crazy! great mind think a like!!!! yours are wonderful ! i had this image in my draw and i have been meaning to use it!!... no time like the present!

Bloody nice.

Will you be calling every shirt you design that has no meaning “excremental as anything #x” ?

Lucan Industri..., 9 months ago

I had been thinking of it. No, it’s obviously a reference to Nolan’s story, and also to Nolan in a slightly more obscure way, probably everything that I do that has no meaning whatsoever will get this title.
And where have you been sjem?

I still have my Walkman and a huge tape collection, I used to cut abstract shapes out of magazine adverts to make the sleeves with. I fucking loved making tapes for my friends.

Cheers people, for all other words.

What new devilry is this ?

The colour switches to black ink on the white t-shirt.

Helen Bascom KMA, 9 months ago

You reckon correctly! This is cool.

Lucan Industri..., 9 months ago

I know, how fucking cool is that? I was quietly chuffed.
It’s because the image is not pure white, the graphite was obviously a blend from dark to light on some happy greyscale, and therefore an inverted version would be the same but reversed. However it means I can’t have it on coloured tops like red, because the white shows through.

Lucan Industri..., 9 months ago

Oh that response was to sjem, I’m not blowing my own trumpet there. Helen just sneaked in.

sjem, 9 months ago

That Helen is a sneaky one.

Yes it is cool. I was going to suggest you only sell this in black but then I saw how it looked on white.

Danny, 9 months ago

I bet Ange buys one of these..
Bets please gentlemen…
Oh Lucan
I use to do that with my tapes too, still have ‘em..
as a matter of fact I may post it as a work of art.
Now that WILL be excremental as anything

Helen Bascom KMA, 9 months ago

You never know where I’ll be lurking! Watch out! Seriously though I have to favorite this now. It is awesome. Takes me back to the day!

mikoto, 9 months ago

how bizarre, cassettes everywhere! Im gonna have to do another one too. really nice shirt.

tambatoys, 9 months ago

Very cool, I think we should start a ‘I grew up with tapes club;
I still can not get rid of mine….

davecurtain, 9 months ago

yes great shirt
all those memories of waiting for a ‘song coming up’ then scrambling to press play & record at the same time…

SabreToothFairy, 9 months ago

Lurve that texture! Definitely got the blackboard thing working for it. And plain ol’ black and white looks sooo good. x

Belinda Leopold, 9 months ago

Oooh yes….this works well too…

Belinda Leopold, 9 months ago

OMG…I used to cut things out of mags and make funky tape covers too…..still reckon they are pretty good!!!! Maybe we start our own group “Memories/Designs/Whatever from our past” or something…Danny you name it!! We can add photos, designs, concepts…...

FAT1, 9 months ago

Evil to the extreme I just love it, I am falling backwards in to the 70’s and my youth watching this tee…

That’s what happens when I take mushrooms, and this is free. Sweet.
