So I made a Clock Arms teeshirt

[el_chode]

I also wanted to point out that the "Hey Patrick!" line of shirts are all technically 3-color shirts, making them cheaper to print.

they are all pretty mothereffing cool and i really dig the charcoal one.  very very very cool work.

Thanks guys, I'm flattered that you like it so much, especially since I've got no formal artistic background at all. Thing is, I feel dirty making any money or profiting from using Patrick's face/image and the band's logo, especially without their sanctioning it. Hell, I just spent a semester learning how to negotiate a live performance agreement and who gets what from merchandising rights, so I feel doubly dirty in that sense.

Sell em for cost of production

they are all definitely sweet.  i'd throw down for a shirt if someone put it all together.  keep me informed.

Alrighty, I'm gonna figure out a good way to do this as cheap as possible as far as organizing it. I think getting an official estimate of how many people want to commit will make pricing it out easier.

Any loose change will go to an extra shirt for Mr. Clock Arms himself, then we'll just have to figure out a way to sneak in a tshirt cannon to the Petty show or something.

I'm flat broke. I'm unemployed and can't find a paying job (or any unpaid ones for that matter). So I won't be making any shirts until the shows edge closer.

Once I do, I'll probably try and get like 10 to see if I can get a bulk rate at around $10/shirt. That's what I got last time I made up some tshirts, so we'll see. It beats the $17 I'd pay at cafe press.

With that said, if you've got your own ways or means, feel free to contact me and I'll send you the highest quality version I can to DIY. If anyone wants to pool resources to try and get some made as cheaply as possible, that's fine too.

Also, when you guys say "the first one", I assume you mean the one that's charcoal, right?

Yes, the charcoal one, is the one I like.  They're all sweet tho!

I'm with you on the budget thing...I was wanting to get some made after the Nashville show, but here it is June, and still nothing.  I was hoping to get several made to get the discount.  Give a few, trade a few...what have you.  It looks like I'll be waiting til closer to show time too.  Oh, well... :-/

Skillz yo, great job! where did you get the head on clock arms picture? I've been looking for one for a while.

[el_chode]

Contacted a local screenprinting place, waiting to hear back...

been super busy since I'm half employed now and I'm trying to get my ass in at Sony or MTV with any luck...deadline is 7/1 and the Supreme Court just invalidated my writing sample.

But I'll keep y'all posted on prices and timelines. I plan on doing two - charcoal and blue, charcoal with the rock out/clock out words, blue being "hey patrick what time is it"

AMC - what do you mean by head? Like patrick's head? I just went to the images on the main MMJ site and looked around for a clear shot of Patrick's mug. I forget which one though.

My bad... I meant head on like straight on shot. great work

[Monkeyboy]

Nice work Chode!  I like the blue "what time is it".  Plus I love the Cracker reference, such a good song!  Sign me up, i'd like a white one so we can tie-dye em.  

Some sort of variation on this would cool too.

OHHH I butchered him. The source images are stock drums from an online retailer, Pat's severed head, and his severed arms, appropriately re-sized and oriented to look like they've blended in.

[el_chode]

I'll inquire as to adding in white, they do a different price structure for white, and it might be cheaper since I can just run it with black ink.

love. love. LOVE this shirt, and have been meaning to compliment your work for some time. I would certainly love to purchase one should dou decide to print!

If you are interested in a shirt, would you mind hitting up this page on my blog and answer a few questions?

It's password protected to keep out the general riff-raff. The PW is "Laser Harp"

Also, in a very strange twist...the person I contacted without realizing it just happens to be a member here. You may know him as Honest Man. I shit you not. So, this is the person who we all owe a beer at the shows.

FYI to everyone else since this took me 5 minutes to figure out, but you need to capitalize the "L" and "H"

[el_chode]

Alright party people, here's the run down:

We've just about got this thing ready to roll and there is good and bad news. The good news is that the shirts should cost about $12 and will be soft'n'thin. The bad news is that to print both designs would require 32 shirts of each design, and I don't think there's enough interest to do that, so I'm only going to run the "hey patrick" shirt in a darker shade of bright blue.

Also, I don't know if my website is just a pain in the ass or no one read this or no one wants them, but based on that there are only 5 people who want shirts, so forget that plan.

[size=20]New plan: [/size]

1) If you'd like a shirt, email me directly with what size and quantity. My email is songofthedeaf at geemail, and put "teeshirt" as the subject so I will be sure to not miss it. Also, Honest Man tells me they'll shrink a size once washed, and I don't think he'd lie, so take that into consideration.

2) Once the shirts are made, we have a few options for delivery: I can mail them, you can come pick them up, or I'll just bring them to the NYC show. I live next door to a post office, so mailing won't be difficult. If I mail them to you, I'll be sure to include tracking/delivery confirmation.

3) As far as the payment is concerned, I'll talk to Honest Man to see how his company does it and if he wants to handle it directly. Otherwise, we can paypal it or just mail a check. Suggestions are welcome.

[capt. scotty]

You might want to start a thread on the off topic and shows forum to try to get more interest. Just based on this thread and people wanting AMC's shirt, obviously more than 5 people are interested

[el_chode]

Alright, I didn't want to spam the shit outta the forum with this, but I'll put it in the off topic first, and if that falls flat, I'll put it in the shows.

[Honest Man]

Any questions or more help on this let me know.
