This is interesting in that a lot of the bands that are talked about on here usually don't use any defined logos that you immediately associate with their name, so when you go on to design a t-shirt inspired by them the name seems almost secondary to the artwork.

this will involve more creativity and personal input and an emotional procedure, but doing the copycating art is always fun, relaxing and doesnt take much time.

*actually your records-->image thread reflects how our minds work to get there.
(i dont think i m very clear to what i mean here..)
yeah in some occassions, it can reflect how our minds could work to get there.

You make pefect sense. The images that you associate with a record or pretty much anything are as much a reflection of yourself as a person as anything else.

Judging by the clothes I wear I think I either come off a bit proletarian - be it the undershirt and the necklet during the summer or the shirt-sticked-into-trousers-variant at uni or work [this would mime the medium-level-civil-servant-proletarian] or as a student of the humanities with corduroy trousers and band T-Shirts.

If the proletarian look (and speech and behavior) lead people to think that I like both the original version by Billy Idol and the cover version by Scooter of Rebell yell, that I like 2 Unlimited and Queen, they are right. If the Sonic Youth-T-Shirt makes them think I like the bigger part of contemporary alternative rock music, they're wrong. A good outcome, I think.

I think my dress code reflects an interest in Rock, but I don't think people would necessarily look at me and figure me for someone who has all the YaHoWha 13 material and an extensive UK folk collection. I take a lot of good-natured ribbings for my fashion choices from the corduroy-and-ironic-haircut crowd I hang with.

cryptowonderdruginvogue · 06.30.2008, 01:38 PM

Not really

girlgun · 06.30.2008, 02:01 PM

i get teased about looking goth or rockabilly. i don't dress like either actually. i've got pretty standard things i wear. black shirts (sometimes red or something else), black skirts and tall black shoes...from strappy heels to boots. i always wear red lipstick and i'm pale. i've got no idea what i look like i listen to... but i do know my personal "dresscode" is pretty much how i've always been.

You have every Cramps bootleg and B-side, admit it.

I hang with noise people who, on the whole, smell funny.

Everyneurotic · 06.30.2008, 02:16 PM

don't noise people, especially in the u.s., have beards?

Savage Clone · 06.30.2008, 02:20 PM

OH YES

floatingslowly · 06.30.2008, 02:21 PM
