Ok, I remembered it as looking a LOT like that.
This is how it actually looked.
the plasticity of memory, eh???
Also, a tin teardrop...
Do with as you will.

The URLs are not correct. Could be that the extensions are .JPG (not .jpg), could be typos, lots of things. In any case, those pictures are not on that site.

They're definitely there according to trusty ol' CUTE ftp???
I wonder if my site is updated?

The yellow cover image looks weird. How did you get this?

'Weird', as in 'magical/otherworldly', is that?
Sorry, I've just been arguing with a colleague about
that very word.
It looks different because it's been really highly processed.
I scanned in most (if not all) of the flat colour
gfx in the FB catalogue. I then cleaned up and vectored the
first album cover and made the components individual.
I was just twatting about really.
The image is actually an output of a montage I put together
in 'Shockwave: Flash' to animate the rays. (Some of the edges lose definition thanks to compressing edge data)
You can see the result on the index page of my website.
I don't have a straight cleaned up version. |

Thanks.
I'm trying to get the readership into double figures.
Invite your friends over and I might just do it! |

Quality stuff Nightsoil - any chance of getting these in eps format?
Love your site btw - what do you use to vectorise your artwork? - I use Freehand, but its worse than useless...
 How does lemur fur, reflect the sea? Someone should do tests |

(Cock! ...just lost my first reply as interweb vapour.)
Ok. I've started using 'Adobe: Streamline' and it is already saving
me time for vector stuff. Almost all of my artwork is bitmap based
so I've been crying out for this package for an age.
(now that I'm using vector stuff more...)
.EPS format? Do you want me to post you the .ai version, maybe?
You can convert that, without problem, no?
I'd like to see a resource of 'print quality' gfx on this site anyway. (there's a dead-thread about this in the appropriate forum ( and the moderators have cooly ignored my pleas for my boy-scouts web-designer badge.))
I'll upload whatever to whoever, whenever if needs be.

AI format would be fantastic - spent ages hand tracing from the tshirt image in the other thread, only to have my pc crash - twice! (and it wasn't nearly as clean as your version)

True. I also love "Stairs," for its charm and the perhaps unintended Frank Black
reference. While introducing "Robert C. Onion" at a Jan. '01 Catholics show, Charles professed
his affinity for "the onion family" ("Let us praise
the shallot!" he urged the audience) which is directly quoted
in the "Stairs" episode. Perhaps NightSoil has no idea
what I am talking about (as is usually the case),
perhaps it's yet another vast cosmic coincidence.
At any rate, I have highjacked this thread and for
this I apologize.
So what happens next with the design and shirts?
 I still believe in the excellent joy of the Frank |

You cheeky thing!
...ie, Kathryn, not 'Thing'.
Not that i'm calling you a 'thing' you understand Kathryn...
Where am I?
....
Ever since finding out that there was a scale for rating duvets,
I think it's adversly affected my view of the world.
Anyway, maybe FB will let me design a venn diagram of the onion family as a backdrop for his show?
Or maybe mint?
I'm nothing if not versatile.

There is also such a thing as a duvet *cover* -- I am as girlie-girl as they come, but that threw me for a loop.
So I ask again, what will you do with this finally found gem, NightSoil?
Forum fans await your plans!

I originally wanted to turn it back into a t-shirt.
Those crappy home-printer things will most likely not be of a sufficient quality.
In fact; bollocks to sufficiency, I want perfection!
The original image was just that grinning face. No logo, except
one on the rear with some tour info. I wouldn't reprint that.
I don't know about costs however, I guess there's mucho competition so it should be reasonable?
...and how could I entirely forget the crown?

I'll try and print this out on our EPSON which is pretty high quality - onto tshirt transfer paper which just irons on
If enough people are interested I know a firm that does tshirt printing so might be able to do a short run of t's

I have the same setup. I've not had much joy experimenting with white on dark before now! We should at least try.

I've heard mixed reports about Cafe press, but have no direct experience of them... still a definite poosibilty I guess.
Thing, can you chaeck into this t-shirt printer you know then?
2 col. screen print? How's it done these days? |

I'll see what I can find out, forgot about the white on dark bg - so maybe the transfers not such a hot idea, but I'll have a look around - I really want that t-shirt now - or maybe a FB duvet cover! (make up for never getting a Thundercats one...)
Nightsoil - are you based in the UK?
Presumably the crown and smiley face is a reference to the crown FB wore on the TOTY cover...

Looks like I can get screen printed t's for @ £13 a pop - girls and boys cut but thats dependent on a run of 10+
I'll carry on looking at ways of doing it cheap "in house" - unless you guys reckon enough people would be interested in them to make it worthwhile...
As for the sig - all trickery I'm afraid - http://www.churchsigngenerator.com/index.php
for more of the same...

that's a really good price - does that include the screen/design set-up charge? If so, we should be able to clear 12, here of all places
(Is anyone besides Thing, Kathryn and myself at all interested in this shirt?)
Otherwise fabric painting could be an option?
I'll talk to the missus and see what her textile-trained mind comes back with. |

Is this thread enough to catch people's attention or should one of us start a thread announcing that orders are being taken (kind of like the U.S. military at Abu Gharib)?

Being English, I don't like to make a scene you understand.
I wouldn't want to draw undue attention to the thing.
I suspect that I'm too lackadaisical for a military style campaign.
(Kathryn, a seperate thread IS a good idea.) |

Hell - start another thread to see who's actually interested. From what I gather the more we get printed the cheaper it gets. I'll quite happily organise the printing etc. (although with my track record they probably appear sometime after Honeycomb is finally released 
Nightsoil - why don't you start the third thread. Then when we get the orders we can start a thread in homage to disclive with people wondering about when they will receive their t-shirts. Then when we finally send them out we can start another thread about how fantastic they are. Then, finally we can release a box set containing all the threads, and a bonus mini-thread called "ChickenWithTwoHeads - The man behind the myth"

utilising both hemispheres of my mind, I shall conjure up a montage of my tidied up artwork on a T-shirt and post it forthwith.
It will have the salient points addressed and reinforced with a venn
diagram or two.
I fucking serious! |

Last night I dreamed that Kurt Waldheim was personally
delivering each T-shirt, high atop his horse.

Unbelievably - literally - a bit of detective work uncovered this
image. He's not mounted. Sorry.
