A Bright Cold Day In July, He Was Back With A Whimper
I meant to upload this five minutes after this as it was a sort of fuck up companion piece, except I totally forgot. Probably got distracted with an overwhelming desire to masturbate.
Anyway better 4 months late then never. Possibly.
Opening line of 1984. Real live Letraset.
T-Shirts
Danny
typical, put something down for 5 minutes and come back/remember 4 months later.
You are a sad cautionary tale of excess and depravity.
Congratulations.

Who the shitting fuck are you?

Lucan, you’re a bastard. I just bought 5 shirts, why did you have to make another one I have to have. Sext typography combined with niche literary quotation. The perfect tee. Delectable design combined with book smarts. I am bound to pick up a cute arty guy in the library with this one.
I see no cupcake reference you kids! Watch out, the thought police may come to get you. Mr Orwell wrote great essays too. My favorite being on my two favorite things”:http://www.george-orwell.org/Books_vs._Cigarettes/0.html

It’s ok, no one will click on it anyway they are already distracted by a new Twatt informing them of something fucking uninteresting.
Orwell’s time is past.
Scott Robinson
A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, the muttering to one`s self, this little design prompts all these things.
Nice balance in all the little periferal floating pieces too.
Lucan Industri... replied
I’m going to bore you with the truth, because you might be interested. But this line was originally to bounce across the top of the hourglass from the last tee, BUT my Letraset has been in the sun, and the back had got so sticky that when I went to add the letters, it would pull up already laid down letters from the hourglass. I realised I was about to fuck the whole thing up, so I scribed it on another page, and all those stray bits actually stuck down at the time, this is a pure scan. Then I thought I’d mash them together in PhotoCock but I couldn’t be arsed so I made two shirts.
So there.
Danny
Scott just fell out of a Robert Hughes book.
Scott Robinson
I don`t know who Robert Hughes is Danny.. That was my attempt at Haiku
Danny
Haiku?
bless you,
Lucan Industri... replied
Fuck you?

Smells like boiled cabbage and old rag mats around here.
Nice work, Mr Blair would be proud.
Lucan Industri... replied
It’s the blood that brings me back, the blood.
Tom Douce
Oh the humanity. Indeed u missed the oppurtunity to combine the two designs as companions. No doubt they would have been great as a couple… Agh well
Liking the font though… It’s cleverly designed
Lucan Industri... replied
Can’t really take credit for that. It’s Helvetica, some Swiss fucker made it hundreds of centuries ago with a fork.
I just bought the Letraset and rubbed it onto a book.
Cathie Tranent
Hmmm. Letraset. I hope I never see anyone actually wearing this – makes me want to go and scratch off the stray bits!
No wonder it took 4 months – you need two hands to apply Letraset and your other hand was obviously busy.
Lucan Industri... replied
The stray bits were there first.
najeroux
I liked Scotts Haiku.
Cathie, If you try to scratch the stray bits off my chest, I hope you buy me dinner first.
najeroux
Lucan Industri... replied
Either dinner or an Aston Martin.
Russell Greenwood
Or dinner with Aston – although I’m not sure what his wife would think of that.
Scott Robinson
The details are anything but boring, this design literally has pieces of the other in it. I think I like it even moreso now.
Frank Stillitano
I love a good fuck up
Lucan's Biogra...
The authorised biography of R.J Bingham 7th Earl of Lucan Part Three
Lucan with the help of family and friends including Bill Shand Kydd, Ian and Susan Maxwell-Scott and Neil Aspinall who were all part of the same satanic cult used their impressive influence over local authorities and the press to confuse the air around the murder and accusations of attempted murder.
Lucan however was banished from Great Britain by the Cult for exposing it to attention to those it did not want to be revealed to. 1
All of this resulted into a huge income earner for Neil Aspinall who used the funds to install a Tory Government with Margaret Thatcher at the helm with other Cult leaders in America who had placed Ronald Reagan in power thus influencing right wing politics for most of the 80s. 2
Lucan who had fled Britain under the rumours he had been killed in boating accidents or eaten by tigers was actually killed by Jamaican thieves who broke into Keith Richards house where he was staying while things settled down. Richards gave the body to a local voodoo priest because he didn’t know how to dispose of the body. 3.
Lucan was reanimated as the zombie Lucan in September 1977 and spent the next 10 years in front of the television watching Benny Hill and Art Attack repeats while occasionally working as a servant at the Vooddoo Priests’ cocktail parties. It was here that experts have said that Lucan’s new personality evolved: Creator of simple snappy art, a love for dress suits and tuxedos and an under developed sense of humour. 4
