Samples Box

Here's our nifty new samples box. If you're a shop owner/retailer and have an interest in stocking our tees then drop us a line and maybe we will send you one of these little beats in the post.

Grotto Shop

This Christmas a selection of Origin68 shirts will available in a new pop up store located in Manchesters Chinese Arts Centre. This seasonal treat goes by the name of Grotto Shop and provides a space for Manchesters finest designery/crafty types to sell their wares in the lead up to Christmas. It's a great place to get the best, unique, Christmas presents, cards and wrapping paper whilst supporting local artists and small businesses.

Origin68 Featured In Torso Book

So we recently discovered by chance that one of our tshirts made it into the Torso book that came out a while back. We had no idea until we were having a flick through a copy at Margin that belonged to the guys from The Affair (nice guys and super nice tees by the way). It's our Anthony Aguero design 'The World In Your Eyes' so it must have been the man himself who sent them in. There are a few of his other designs in there. Anyway, we thought it was pretty cool and worth showing off about!.

Here's some pics. If you like tees in general it's worth a purchase as there's a tonne of cool stuff in there.

Internal Error by Melvin Galapon

Prince once blamed it on something in the water, messing with his computeé shizzle, but we know pretty much anything can throw a spanner in the pipes causing massive internal errors.

Saying all that it’s not just those damn computers that have internal error’s, us humans are perfectly capable of having our own internal meltdowns too. So this one is for all the doom mongers, schizophrenics, bi polar, manic depressive types out there...or maybe your just having a bad day.

We’re pleased to say that Mr Melvin Galapon has crafted this shirt, a homage to the error. Our legal eagle, Eddie, recommended a legal disclaimer, so this shirt comes with a special Origin68 public health warning… we will not be held liable if you stare at this one for any longer than 6.8 seconds. It has be known to melt eyes/minds, sofas and small reptiles.

handmadehands- I Did Nothing

Thought I'd post this too so you can enjoy seeing a man use a plastic chair as a drum. Plus it mentions tectonic plates which gives it a bit of a sciency flava for all you science lovers out there....what am I even talking about. Just watch

handmadehands - sunshine video

Our friends handmadhands from sunny Leeds have released their debut album this week. It's a fine blend of folk, strings, beards, loops and other such niceness. We're big fans and we say that as fans of music not just as people who happen to know some guys who play in a band. We probably wouldn't post this if we didn't deem this worthy of your ears. Anyway have a listen, albums available from all good online retailers. You don't need us to name them...

Hot Drink Mugs

We've all gone a bit Ronseal with this. And I don't mean perma-tanned. Oh no, it's a mug that does exactly what it says on the tin.. I mean ceramic, er mug. It's got hot drink in it innit. By the way ours is a tea, white with one sugar if you're putting the kettle on.
WARNING: Contains Hot Liquids.

Available in the shop www.origin68.com

Digital Arts Spotlight

This is pretty old news now but it should be on here. Our Si Scott Dove tshirt was featured in the October issue. Man that's old. Anyway, it was there, there's some pictures to prove it and everything.
