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.

Dove by Si Scott




This shirt needs no introduction...Ohh, go on then.

This design is by the now legendary Si Scott and displays a dove, the symbol of peace, in his indomitable highly detailed illustrative hand drawn style. If you haven't come accross Si's work over the last few years you must have been living under a rock, he's pretty much become the grand master of intricate swirly designs. We're really proud to bring you this one!

After gaining a degree in graphic design at Buckinghamshire University College, Si Scott used his skills to develop a characteristic style which combines hand-inked and penned artwork with modern typography.That style has won him a prestigious and ever-expanding client list, including Vogue, Nike, Polydor, Guinness, MTV, Absolut, Tiffany and Co, Miller and American Express.

NEW DESIGN - Paris'68




Last week we droppoed our latest design. It's a bit of an hommage to the Paris uprisings in 1968.

The French aren’t stupid. When they don’t like stuff they get up off their arses and kick up a stink about it. In fact, they’ll pretty much go on strike before you can say "improved workers conditions".

May 1968 was one of those iconic moments where the people came together and took on the powers that control them and through not inconsiderable sacrifice changed things for the better. We made a tshirt about it.
