O.K., my buddy is in the process of starting up a company selling t-shirts, stickers, skate decks, etc...
Here's the first 4 designs we've come up with... let me know what you think.

Bradicallyman · 04-24-2008, 12:29 AM

I really like the first and last one

Big Smoothy · 04-24-2008, 12:29 AM

I like the designs.

Great idea.

I just copied them and will start selling them myself.

It's business.

soxmuscle · 04-24-2008, 01:08 AM

2nd and 3rd are cool. Well done.

I'm three steps ahead of you. Immediately after typing my interest in the first and last one, I went straight to my portable t shirt maker and made a few hundred. Zumiez already has boxes of them ordered. lol

All joking aside, when I am not required to wear a shirt and tie, I typically wear shirts like these. Let me know when you have some made, I really like some of the designs.

**Gazhole** · 04-24-2008, 02:13 AM

Look cool, man.

They look well drawn and the vivid colours make them really striking. If i saw somebody wearing it id try reading it, yknow?

**IainDaniel** · 04-24-2008, 06:14 AM

Very cool

All I can think of though is Rage Against the Machine.

DaMayor · 04-24-2008, 07:41 AM

I like 2 and 4....4 is more powerful, IMO. Although it would be cool if you could incorporate the rifle in the hand instead of the mallet.

The red and black pop...nice communist feel. Well, maybe not nice, but impressionable.

tomuchgear · 04-24-2008, 08:37 AM

i like the first one very cool. i do agree with iain though does remind me of a band i cant stand.

Irons77 · 04-24-2008, 08:43 AM

Cool designs, but not my style!

fufu · 04-24-2008, 09:10 AM

Fuck you. I won't do what you tell me.

THe designs are cool.

Witchblade · 04-24-2008, 09:14 AM

What's it for? Revival of the Soviet Union?

They look good, with the exception of the third one, if I may say so.

How are you incorporating them into the t-shirts (ie. what colour are the shirts)?

maniclion · 04-24-2008, 11:37 AM

They will sell with all the poser counter culture inactivists out there now who wear the Che Guevara shirts, especially if he puts them in shops near colleges....

danny81 · 04-24-2008, 12:35 PM

A. How much is they?
B. WTF is evil empyre?

FitnessRubber · 04-24-2008, 03:20 PM

i really dig the lines of the second one; actually, the only one i didn't care for is the third

lucifuge · 04-24-2008, 03:41 PM

Thnaks for all the input everyone.
It's funny the one I spent the most time on (the third one) is the one most people dislike....
But I agree, I prefer the simpler designs as well.

I don't know why, but my buddy really likes the Soviet imagery, I can't say for sure on the final designs for the shirts (he has final say... I'm just a guy who draws stuff) , but I believe the color will most likely be black.
Personally I'm hoping for some offset graphics, maybe some sleeve prints...

They don't have a price yet, hell, they don't even really exist yet.
Evil Empyre is the company name.

I believe it's going to be mainly internet based, however, he was looking into distibutors. I don't really have all the facts yet.

hey... pretty sweet does he know who did the artwork?

KentDog · 04-25-2008, 12:17 AM

I really like the designs; they are really eye catching. The third is my least favorite.

How are you going to get the designs on the shirts? Nowadays, screen printing makes them like every other shirt. If it's just a pet project for fun, then screen printing is fine. But if he's planning on making money off of this venture, then I would suggest he distinguish himself somehow. I have a few friends who made the newspaper at their college for this type of thing. They paint designs onto shirts and pants with some kind of cloth paint. Very time consuming, but not like every other kid and their little brother's shirt business idea. This is why shirts like Affliction appeal to some people.. they aren't the typical screen printed shirts; their designs cover parts of the shirt typical screen printing doesn't.

lucifuge · 04-30-2008, 08:30 AM

[quote=The Monkey Man;1774132]hey... pretty sweet , does he know who did the artwork
I dunno...doubtful, he emailed most of it to me for some input , except the one everyone seems to dislike... that one's all my own.

There's a few more in the works that are 100% my artwork that if I can finish them the way they look in my mind will be supercool. Well, I think so anyway, I'll post some of it when I get some more work done.
