bang - the sjem remix
You know sjem? The one who has all the ideas, and wins everything and everyone thinks is a great guy? Yeah, that one. Well he wasn’t totally happy with one of my designs and requested another version. And because I’m nothing if not incredible generous, and ever so slightly bored, I made it for him.
The rather fine above shot is actually by sjem

You fucking legend.
Lucan Industri...
I decided against the straight one in the end as it seemed like exactly what everyone else would do. But if you disagree feel free to contact your local politician.
Danny
I was looking at this and ringing people at the same time to see if they wanted one and you 2 bozozs show up.
I hope you don’t get a free sjem with every tee?

It’s perfect. My local politician doesn’t visit strip clubs so I won’t communicate with him
Danny
Oh yes he does, I was with him last night doing deals at Spearmint Rhino
Lucan Industri...
Deals? What kind of deals? $5 off a set of ebony handled salad tongs?
Scott Robinson
Requests is it??
I request you put my signiture on all your work, and transfer ownership to me…
kathleen
so this is where the cool people are hangin out… hmm my opinion of this shirt… camera’s shoot but don’t go bang, more like a click, so now I am all confused nods her head like a ditz from side to side this is way too intense for me to understand… although imaging if there were camera’s like this, could make the world a very interesting place to be with the paranoia and all.

This is Hot, but the Tshirt I bought is HOTTER :)
STRINGER
This is Hot, but the Tshirt I bought is HOTTER :)where the cool people are hangin out… {{{{{{{{{{THUD}}}}}}}}}}}} that’s the sound of a thirty 8 wadd cutter slammin into yer CHEST …....try to breath it won’t be long now….................cough splutter sgettin dark yo dark ta seeee …......

Thats only because your wearing it Ms Leopold, this one’s gonna cover a weedy ‘6 foot frame.
Lucan Industri...
Kathleen, you are correct in your assumptions, I think I was trying to be ironic, the original was a statement against photographers being considered terrorists, or worse, perverts.
I agree Belinda, but sjem is a contrary fucker.
Stringer, you’re a marvellous fellow, clearly my kind of chap, I haven’t a clue what you’re talking about but I’m sure I agree. I have enjoyed the tee you are wearing in your portrait immensely. Mentalist. And yes, Whippety Krack, quite. Yes.
Lucan Industri...
Will you look like this in it sjem?
Lucan Industri...
Actually I meant this
kathleen
to stringer, who the fuck are YOU anyway…. Luncan, thanks for your beautiful thoughts that add to the sentiment I carry that there is revolution afoot. and your comment on ascending is refreshing ta. the difference there is that I aint a photographer, just a tripper (ummm artist).
Lolo Lost
i’m all for it, lucan. the meet-up/love-in/kiss kiss thing sort of makes me sick. just as long as i get concussion from being hit by you bastards.
Lucan Industri...
I’ll bring a handy length of lead piping. Worked on the nanny. I hear they’re still getting the bits of brain out of the gold trim on the curtains.
davecurtain
nice work lucan/sjem – this one should have “right” flying out of the barrel…
kathleen
lucan, can I clarify with you, do you agree with that dude and his psudo assassination attempt on my profile… ??? I just wanted to connect about the freakin shirt… hmm this will be something I meditate on this evening (she says, getting into some battle armour)... yeah I know, took me a while to figure out what that creature was eluding to… well, don’t know you or your buddies, but I get a certain vibe here that I am certainly looking into a little more… haunting like!!!
Cathie Tranent
Brilliant. I never saw the original, but this works a treat!!
mister khan
don’t listen to him folks. he’s having you on. it’s a late-model kazakhstani hair-drier.
talent, my arse.

Actually Lucan, I’d look something like this :
mister khan
looks like your type-four nipple clamps have slipped a little, dr sjem.
Danny
I’m back
Lucan Industri...
Good bloody show.
xander
Saw “this”.http://gonzo.uni-weimar.de/~cnta2451/Aimat.html on a cyber wonder and it rang a bell.
PS: AQ you do make me larf!
xander
Oh bugger.
try this
Lucan Industri...
That’s crazy. I should make more of my designs tangible. Cheers.
Samantha Van S...
cool link xander. I’m always astounded at photo language-and now it matches a little better!
xander
Yes It looks like fun. I particularly like the direct implication that portraits and self-portraits turn into “assassination” and “suicide” shots respectively.

I’ve ordered one in grey. Now remove this tee forever, no-one else can have one like mine you hear !
ITS MINE ! ALL MINE ! MWAHAHAHA MWAHHAHAHA HA – COUGH COUGH – HA HA – COUGH – HA … ha … eh ?
Lucan Industri...
No, I’ll just put the price up.
sjem ©
Oh … ok.
Gregoryno6
Stop or I’ll shoot, eh?

the photo makes it look so cool, my dad would love this!
SabreToothFairy
You guys are a marriage made in heaven…oh…i promised myself i wouldn’t cry (sob, swoon, hammy overacting, ‘thanks to jesus and my mum for the Oscar’ etc).
You see what wonderful things can happen when one person has the guts to tell another that his work sucks (when it doesn’t)? We can all learn something from you blokes. I’m gonna go right out and tell the bald guy walking the pitbull outside my house I don’t like his tattoos! I just know he’ll thank me for the beautiful works of art that he replaces them with!
I’m going outside…i may be some time…
Danny
I am now the proud owner of one of these collaboration T Shirts
I love the way sjem added his own personal touch to the fabric and the fit,
That and the ability to tell Lucan what to do.
hee hee
But seriosly
It’s really good.
I’m taking a photo and posting it.
Ange
my man liked it.
got it for him last week.
BonitoPhotography
Wonderful Work!
Parmas

Holy shit, that is fucking cool.

Isn’t it though ?
Your design pre-dates it though. You’ve been copied.
Need a lawyer so you can over-react about it unnecessarily ? Perhaps you should have a rant in a JE about it.
webart
Nice work.
badart
amazing piece of art!... and the message here is so thought provoking… a gun will end things instantly… and yet a camera will preserve forever… a deep message hidden in an oxymoron… you are a genius!
Gnat
He he, you are so right badart… and in todays competitive world it’s the perfect solution, another great two-in-one time and space saving device. Ingenius!
