Sounds good. We might take this to the Biennale yet. I had an entry last year, it was a 10 ft. peanut-butter statue of a semi-erect penis surrounded by a chain of ham slices, slotted into each other by means of carefully placed rips. The whole thing was mounted on a specially baked 50 square foot slice of brown bread, courtesy of the sadly doomed Kylemore Cafe. It was entitled "Moral Quandary" and was sponsored by UTV.

The media used were: poster paints, flesh-coloured crayons, bread, ham, peanut-butter.

i have designs on being part of that installation. my donation would be a flimsy recording of a knacker wailing caught in a mantrap, embedded in the skull of a dead knacker. if i may be so bold.

(peepee! hurry up!)

I think they were good.

I think the sleeve design is deadly and I quite like their music.

Arrah, we're only takin' the mick.

Next time you see a beardy fucker in a "When Hell Freezes Over" t-shirt, feel free to point and laugh, for it will be me.

Be aware that the iron on transfers (which you should be able to buy for yourself) show up more on darker T-shirts. You can get coloured ones but matching them to shirts is v.difficult.

Why not get it tatooed onto your chest?

You could start with the young jim and add hair over time.

in dublin Millers screen printers in Drimnagh can make a screen with an image on it for you. It costs £17 for an A4 screen and a further £12 to expose an image onto it. The screenpinters is in the yellow pages. They also sell inks for tshirts for around a tenner for black and white and up to twenty pound for colours. there you go, making a screen is only viable for you intend on mass producing your work.

What do you do then? Say you get a screen with an image on it made and you wanna make a load of t-shirts ... do you buy the t-shirts and some ink and use the screen to somehow apply the ink to the t-shirts? How?

 

[george mcfly]

you can get yourself a home screen printing kit from any art shop.

brings back some awful memories of not reading instructions and screen printing the iron maiden logo onto me ma's living room carpet

 

[Pantone247]

well *BASICALLY* you stick the screen down on the t-shirt pour some ink of the back and use a stick (or something) to smoothe the ink down on the screen, it'll get transfered onto the tee and viola a t-shirt.

but obviously theres lots of bits a pieces a printer would have to this quciker and neater (big presses to keep the sreen tight against the t-shirt.... vacuam suction table thingys to stop the t-shirts moving during printing... but in theory you could DIY it... if you don't mind getting messy

 

[pee pee]

why dont you just buy one of those nice pre-printed t-shirts with, like, "GAP" or something written on it and avoid the messy fingers altogether?

Gap don't stock them

man I'm so misunderstood

 

[chriths]

they do however have tshirts and hoodies that say "BABY GAP" but they seem to be made for really really small perverts. starnge.

 

[old]

I want to print a tshirt for a forthcoming hypocritical performance in the Guinness Hops Store that says Guinness=Pricks.
Maybe I should screen and mass produce them.

Although when it comes to it, I'm sure it will be badly scrawled in marker and people will say: your gum-=caks tshirt looked pathetic.
And they'll be right.
*cry*
