3,4,5-trimethoxy-beta-phenethylamine T-Shirt

3,4,5-trimethoxy-beta-phenethylamine

Firstly, I’d like to thank my dog, Fred Bassett for interesting design direction inspiration. At least half any potential proceeds will go towards some whiskey flavoured biscuits from him.
.
A little different to my usual style. But even more relevant on a personal level.
.
In these heady days of Google I can’t make this as cryptic as I’d like without telling you anything at all, which is no fun. So I’ll just sit back and let you all search and then question.

“If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern.” William Blake

    Kathleen, I completely ignored what you said, I shall continue to use barcode when I want, I made this 2 weeks before your critique, or ‘joke’. But thank you.

    Amanda, I don’t actually have a dog.

    Cathie, I would have been cruel to feed the dog I don’t actually have some cactus.

    I shan’t google yet.

    I do recognise the quote, however, it was one of Jim Morrison’s favourites, thus the name ‘The Doors’. So I am assuming this is a representation of a hallucinagenic drug of some kind.

    I like this bestest on white, cos the 3d’ness comes through betterer.

    “Peyote Pete meets Jim Morrison in battle of the bulge, then go hang gliding out in the desert with only their talent to support them.
    Both died violent, painful deaths when the glider didn’t glide – it plummeted
    Blake who was inspiring Thomas Harris was feasted on the remains”
    .
    Sorry a bit of freeform gibberish just struck me down.
    Nice colours, bizarre design.
    Keep ‘em guessing.

    ‘joke’ ???

    - . – you are welcome… and use barcode don’t use barcode, just trying to invoke a response I guess… your call…

    This is totally PHIKAL (Google that too..)
    Or look in The Vaults OF Erowid
    Jim Morrison came at William Blake via Aldous Huxley.
    In the Brave New World after the end of history is everyone wearing Lucan tshirst to internal dance parties? And what is the sound of one synapse firing?

    Nice graphics

    Fuck
    Six (count ‘em 6) TShirts in 3 days

    You’re on fire.

    at the end of the world chris… there won’t be any need for lucan or these shirts cause there won’t be anything to complain about anymore…

    that is unfair on this shirt particularly though, as it is personal…

    Hmmmm,

    Do you want a warning telling people that wearing this shirt is not guaranteed to give you the effects of #$@)$*^)@_ …but then again perception is everything, the placebo may work, don’t burst there bubble if you dont have to.

    Like the shirt, and the style.

    haa, yeah Chris W… I’m with you on that… you may have caught some of my other ramblings in places elsewhere on this place…

    In the poetic words of Eddie Vedder… “I’m already dead!” I mean if that’s what he saying, can’t get a grip on those lyrics at times…

    Indeed Chris, you are correct, hence the tags.
    I had a pizza with Mr Huxley’s great grandson last year actually.
    I’m ignoring the other debate that has sprung into fruition here.

    Very different Mr Lucan. I`ve never seen you do such sharp, geometrical work before,,.

    I`m not going to say I truely understand where you were heading with it, but I can`t look at it without picturing the final scenes of “2001. A Space Odyssey”, which is a personal favorite.

    Nice…almost fresh! Looks like a chemical structure…and yes peyote hey…hmmm…needs vomite then. And i think Danny may be right a bit of meth or speed for increased production, or elves…or a keen marketing ploy with the free post and christmas nearing. Am curious bout the colours you chose? tell me more…

    I saw this before you coloured it. the colouring adds and removes depth and transparency, just as the subject would I imagine. it’s plain old cubism, but good art direction too.
