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.

Phone Book Art

Looking through the morning paper I found this. Thought it was pretty cool. Not because it's a portrait of Obama but cause it's carved out of an old phone book. There must be millions of redundant phone books lying in people's houses and this is Alex Queral's way of reusing his. The image is actual 3 dimensional. There was a side view in the paper but I can't find it. You will have to use your imagination to work out what it looks like. It seemd relevant seeing as we had done our own bit of telephone book art.

Origin68 @ Kendal Calling Festival

So, it's Tuesday...and we've still not recovered from the weekend.

We played our first gig at the Kendal Calling Festival set in the beautiful Lowther Deer Park in the Lake District. We say gig, more of a tshirt stall. It's the first time we've done anything like this so it was interesting to get out there and see how the public reacted to our stuff. It seemed to go pretty well. We managed to shift a good amount of shirts, chatted some jive with a few people and generally got Origin68 out there to the masses. It was a great experience. Sadly we didn't get to see much in the way of bands and stuff as we were manning the stall all day and night. We still had a top time though.

We also got to meet the man, the legend that is Mr Howard Marks which was nice (no pun intended). He popped over to the Laughing Cafe where we were situated to have a spot of breakfast.

Here's some pics from the weekend.

Origin68 in Protest Tshirts Book

This happened a while back but since we changed the website there was no evidence to show that this actually happened. So here it is...again...for those that never saw it the first time round.

It was pretty cool seeing our shirts in a real life tangible book. Big thanks to Ellie over at Graffito Books for finding us and getting our shirts in there.
