That's right kids...next week I will start soliciting for the FIRST SHIRT IN THE LAMOUR SUPREME/DEVILBOY BASTARD BABIES SERIES! Hopefully these will be well received so we can release new designs and they can turn into a super rad community thing. The design is done and I’m just waiting to confirm a price from my printer and see if I can order shirts by the piece or if I must do them by the dozens. If I have to do them by the dozens, I don’t think I want to do 4 dozen shirts (too many to sell me thinks) so WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK WE SHOULD DO FOR SIZES IF I HAVE TO DO THEM BY 12’S? 1 DOZEN XL AND 1 DOZEN L? Reply with your opinions. Right now it looks like they will be about $30 shipped inside the 48 states and $6 more for anyplace outside. The shirts is a BLUE “soccer style” t with white rings on the neck and sleeves with two stripes down each sleeve. They will also come bagged with a header. FUCKIN’ RAD! These are high fashion kids! That’s enough babble for now…keep an eye out on this thread next week for the green light on ordering. I will not be posting an image on the board (you will have to send me a safe e-mail address where I can send a PDF) since this shit is so hot. BOOM! {{{{EDIT}}}} In talking with Josh we are gonna try to get a feel on the style of shirt you guys dig before the design is shown. I proposed to use the shirt picture below to Josh (PICTURE THIS STYLE BUT THE BODY IS DARK DARK BLUEBERRY BLUE AND THE STRIPES/RINGS ARE WHITE) but they are REAL pricey (hence the $30 price). Let us know if you dig this style or if you'd want just a standard t-shirt. If we did go the standard route the price would be less but in my humble opinion, you wouldn't look a stylie. Josh is more keen on standard t's and I don't want to force him or others to have to buy a shirt style they don't like so let us know which you'd prefer and majority rules. BOOM!
Sounds great DB acnt wait to see what you guys came up with and in bag w/ header .....awsome. And it depends on how the shirts run. usually I'm a large.
soccer style fo sho... my dad rocked one of those shirts for about 20 years no joke. my mom threw it out so he couldn't wear it anymore
you know...josh...man if i drank at least i'd have a reason...sorry joel...i'm an idiot! c'mon people let's hear which shirt style you'd prefer!
Sorry, but this Idea is just a little too "I hate El Maz" for me. I'm sure other people will enjoy it though.
maybe i've been missing something but how does the Bastard Babies relate to hating El Maz. didn't mean to offend El Maz just play up that VP article.
I'm just not into the whole masochistic idea of taking insults thrown at you by other people "I hate El Maz", "Bastard Babies", and turning them into tee shirts. It's not the identity I see for myself or this group. But others may disagree, some people enjoy self defacing humor.
yeah, me neither. I think Devilboy needs to email you the design before you cast any prejudgement on the whole take. I thought that hating on El Maz thing was lame myself. I'm not creating an identity for anyone here by drawing up a t-shirt. It's a play on that article. It's sort of like this hardcore band I used to listen to called No Redeeming Social Value. They weren't really that good of a band but funny as hell, live....and they never took themselves seriously.
Hey LamourSupreme. Thanks for responding to my criticism of the idea. I love your paintings, and I'm sure the shirt will be kick ass looking. It's just the concept I can't get past. But that's just grumpy old me.
i think self deprecating humor has its place as long as its not overdone. there will always be some that take it to the martyrdom level... whether it be an individual, band, artist etc. i try to be 99.9 % about positivity, but keep a healthy sense of humor. and i still just want a shirt with racing stripes
To get the thread back on track - I prefer plain to "soccer style". However, don't change design on my account as I probably won't be buying a shirt. I dig LS's paintings and wouldn't mind having the shirt, I just don't envision myself spending my money that way right now (meager income at the moment). Anyway, just wanted to give input on shirt style to help get the ball rolling in that direction for ya...
the funny part is i always walk by my father and stick my finger where his bely button is just to annoy him..He usually chimes in w/"you gonna buy me a new one now!!"But its already peppered w/holes..Cheap ol geezer-loll
I wouldn't buy a shirt with racing stripes, but I probably won't be buying one anyways since I wear size small
oh i just noticed the sizing to i only buy medium shirts anymore i used to rock the xl but i've grown up and wear clothes that fit
alright...it looks like i can order shirts buy the peice so that means i can order shirts in sizes S - XXL but the XXL's will be a few bucks more. i still don't have a price 100% nailed down but this will also depend on which style people pick...soccer or plain t...so far the soccers have it. i also need to do at least 24 shirts to make this work. the pdf is ready to send out for people to view (it shows the soccer style mocked up so you get a better idea of what it looks like) so send me your e-mail and i'll send it off to you and we can see if we have the commitiment from people to do these.
