I Make T Shirts,Sometimes

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

As I mentioned on the previous page,

This chap on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT

Just emailed him directly and gave him the details of what I wanted.Once he said he could do caslon antique,everything else was simple.
With front and back printing,and postage,it came to £ 6.50.

Months ago now,I threatened to make a hoody.Finally got round to it.The idea was the have the names of all the tours that I have attended on the back,with sleeve prints.The "Girls In Smoke" line is of course a reference to the Slept lyric "girls on smoke"

he's concentrating on tours since you decided they weren't as good as they used to be - hence no CND Festival dates

Following in Ribbons69 footsteps (plus taking Weebles logo idea and doing a runner with it) and the lack of a anniversary t-shirt, I have decided to have a go at this t-shirt designing malarky.

This is hopefully what it will look like when done but we'll see

Well the shirt has arrived. It's not bad considering it is a transfer, but has lost the subtlety of the shading. Maybe I should find someone to screenprint it.

I also think the logo on the front could be a tad bigger.
If you want the link to the design on streetshirts send a pm :)

I like it,although I would have all the three "x" the same size I think.Working on a few ideas myself,one would be to have the date on the front,with a large backprint "The roar of a big machine"

I thought of putting the date on the front, across the top of the logo, but it looked a little too busy. Having the X's all the same size left the cog looking somewhat empty I thought, but what do I know.
The last t-shirt I designed was for the 'Chickentown Ski Club' and had a big Cow (from Cow & Chicken) on the back with skis on.
If you were thinking of having a big back print 'The Smell Of Burning Plastic' would be fitting for the second night (17th) :lol:
