There
was a while where I was fooling around with ideas and sketching,
just random stuff, concentrating on images, composition, stuff like
that. I think it was around the same time I was heavily getting
into pastels and doing looking at some of my art with a different
view.
From some of those sketches came out these really rough ideas, in
a real "sketchy" form and also with a caption which, in
some cases made some sense, but... in others was just as confusing
or intriguing as what the image was.
This design I think was kind of like... a warning, maybe like, be
careful with electricity or something, with the "it could happen
to you", but... I never really thought of it that way. Pretty
much my idea of it was, the electrical plug and the outlet, the
outlet was getting "plugged" or "screwed", and
maybe it was more that take on it... "getting screwed",
and... how "it could happen to you". Maybe that was it,
or... maybe it was deeper than that, I don't know.
Available in the same "howard johnson's" colors you see
on the left, or also a green apple wall with navy blue floor. How
exciting.
There were some designs that I thought were still good and fun and
would of loved to have done them, but... being limited on the printing,
I pretty much decided on doing an initial 3 designs, then did a
final fourth which was the"dog chased the cat" tshirt.
Of the initial 3 designs, I printed 5 of each, (not including the
one for myself), managed to sell them all even though it took me
a few years, originally sold them for $20 and in the end, like...
5 years later got rid of the last few I had for maybe $10 each.
