SHUBAKILLER-LAUNCH&LOG

It's been 3 years since my first(unprofessional - hobbyist) attempt to printing t-shirts. Took me 1 year to ponder/weigh/balance/calculate/think/re-think the possibility of doing it again .... that did not work..... so 2 more years passed.... Till...

...one day I approached Silvia and plainly asked her ... How about Shubakiller? Hmm? ... Should we?... Could we?... Would we? ........ And that was 3 months ago.

After deciding not to play anymore and really get something out... well ... This is what we came up with as the first row of many more to come. 10 T-shirts ( 100 per model - limited editions ). After a simple math - we designed and printed 1000 T-shirts for our preferred audience... The Middleclass.

To give you, the wearer ( & hopefully bearer) a bit more insight on the process we all went through to get this done as we saw it fit. Here are a few tehincal and process details about what/how we did it.

1. The Tees are high quality 215gsm - 100%cotton - combed
2. The designs are silkscreened with water based high quality inks

Here is a taste:

Well... if that isn't enough.Fine.

As we are friends of the environment, for the shopfloor presentation, we handcrafted ALL 1000 labels out of recycled cardboards and hand-printed them using good old fashioned lasercut stamps.

Here are some making-of photos from the labeling process:

And finally but not lastly we DID have massive fun while shooting the presentation photos. Here is a taste:

Logocity on Typarchive

2 days ago i sent the pictures I did for Logocity TM back in 2004 to Rick Diaz Granados, the guy behind TYPARCHIVE - a website collecting old/new fashioned painted or volumetric typographies from all the corners of the world.

For all you guys having/loving/cherishing this sort of material ( I recommend uploading them on this archive ). Who knows? Your photo might make it into the books they're gonna publish.

Thank you again Rick for the initiative and warm welcome ... and then some more.

O FRESCA PENTRU ROMANIA

Au trecut 20 de ani, ca ai fost barbat, barbatus, copil sau scrisoare de dragoste la vremea respectiva nu conteaza ...te-a afectat. Destul cu vaicareala si lamentarea. Ai ceva de spus? Ai ceva de adaugat? Varsa tot aici intr-un proiect mai mult decat interesant si deloc insignifiant.

Un proiect lansat de Stefan Tiron, Alexandra Croitoru & Vasile-Pop Negresteanu.


"Dupa 20 de ani de la revolutia romana, dorim sa stim ce a ramas in urma. Ce a fost retinut, ce a fost uitat, ce credeti voi ca merita retinut si ce considerati ca este important. Vrem sa stim de ce cartile de istorie nu mentioneaza anumite momente cheie ale istoriei recente. Cu ajutorul vostru, vrem sa reconsideram evenimentele istorice semnificative, oamenii, documentele si simbolurile care au marcat istoria poporului roman in ultimii 20 de ani, vrem sa aflam ce merita transmis si memorat pentru generatiile urmatoare.

Numai prin contributia VOASTRA si printr-o participare cat mai larga vom putea obtine o imagine simbolica relevanta a Romaniei ultimilor 20 de ani." ( extras din argumentul Autorilor )

Archibald’s journal 10.08.09

0200 hours -

One week has past since I’ve been keeping the radio silence now. The tension in my bones is beginning to itch... Therefore I scratched it for the past days. Nothing happened. My body’s resistance towards the comforting scratches is/was unexpected. But it happened yesterday. I felt a reactionary impulse down my spinal cord. A reaction. I say. At last ... a sign. That did it. Must not give up. Must wake up. To hell with the radio silence.

1700 hours -

The noise is triggering new electronic impulses between neurons. I can almost feel them struggling to make contact within the boiling environment of constant discharge. No more itching. Only the thought of that gives birth. Inside. To the coiling snake within. Waiting. Patiently. To attack...Neighbors aligned themselves again in that daily-disciplinary-positioning-pattern on the front bench. That noise. The reaction. Music to my ears. Incentive for continuing. The impulses stopped. Silence. A captured silence. Noise pattern aligned itself to the rules of silence. Almost asleep. Almost aWake.

2100 hours -

Woke up- My name is Archibald - Today that other guy kept me asleep for the best part of the day. Only seeing his previous entries. It makes me aware of the thing. That one thing. The implant has worked. 2 separate entities. Sharing the same...place. The one thing that should have been the commonground for our existence is in fact the separator. Why can’t he see my journal entries? Why can we read only our own entries? The third guy said that it .... Wait! Who’s the third guy? How many are there? I am a scientist goddamn it and still all I can see in this journal are hourly entries.( 0200 – 1700 ). Is he trying to communicate with me? 02001700 ?!

2124 hours -

There! Made a new entry! Hopefully he sees .... I yhz... aaghiuw92 ... Dgajlike I said..nHSQ7...Almost aWake!

"Let the will of the state act, then, instead of that of the individual. Let an institution be created which shall have for its object to keep correct doctrines before the attention of the people, to reiterate them perpetually, and to teach them to the young; having at the same time power to prevent contrary doctrines from being taught, advocated, or expressed. Let all possible causes of a change of mind be removed from men's apprehensions. Let them be kept ignorant, lest they should learn of some reason to think otherwise than they do. Let their passions be enlisted, so that they may regard private and unusual opinions with hatred and horror." [Charles Peirce, The Fixation of Belief]
