The Art of TLE

Haha, that looks awesome! :laugh:

[Kacky]

Cute Yana! :p

[Colezy]

Didn't Mel do something similar a few years back as well?

Pretty sure someone did!

[Kacky]

I did all three of them a while back, and so did Kelsey (kelso).

[mel_bound]

Yeah I did a version... don't know where they went though :p

[The Dying Start]

There was also an OLD OLD OLD version that i think Travis did. And then there were the Penguin cartoons.

[Amur]

Just because this thread shouldn't be dead...I'll post blog headers I made:

lol pretty sure Chris is wearing eyeliner isn't he?
(in the last one)

[The Dying Start]

He often does!

[Amur]

He often does!
I wonder - does he buy his own or just borrows Emma's?:p

[Kacky]

"Hey hun, I'm taking your eyeliner for tour, I'll put it back when I get home"

[Jessii]

Guess whose puppy peed on the cross stitch she's been working on?

[mattheal]

Glenns? :p

[Jessii]

This was what i was up to, until my brothers puppy decided to pee on it yesterday:

[The Dying Start]

In a case of unbelievable accuracy, the Puppy peed entirely within the outline of Chris' head.

[Jessii]

yes, Sunny has amazing talent.

[Amur]

can it be washed or something?:wassat:

Since having to start cross stitch again, i've been sewing every waking moment when i'm not at work, and i've finished all their outlines, and just have to colour in Chris's guitar, and he will be finished.

[Kacky]

I would love a custom MadTwins tee ;)

$$$ involved!

[Madtwins]

Thanx Chelsea, we'd like to make more and for forumers for sure, but the main task here is to find a good girlie t-shirt to buy. Ours mostly bought on the second-hand market >:)
We can make some not hard design for free if someone wants! But be special and bring your own idea!

[Kacky]

I would most likely send you a t-shirt of my own, so I know it will fit me beforehand. But yes, I will come up with an idea for sure!

[The Dying Start]

These are "bitchin'"!

[Madtwins]

We don't get your "french" :huh:

[The Dying Start]

Those tshirts are "really fucking awesome". Understand now?! Hehehe!

[Madtwins]

Yes sir! It will be "ohuenno" on russian mat.

[The Dying Start]

Ohuenno! Ohuenno!

[All_torn_down16]

Those are fantastic t-shirts girls ;)! Out of interest, how long does it usually take for you to complete a custom t-shirt?

[Madtwins]

It depends from design and quantity of colours. The longest part it's completing the design. Not all photos fits to convert to 2-3 tones image. We usually redraw the tones over the photo. It can take week or 1 day (as it happened with Don't be concerned design).
Than we need to cut through the paper stencil, just big areas and letters usually, all the details we draw by hands and eye.
And painting is the fastest - we can do it by one evening or all day, because paint is drying quickly so we can't leave the not finished work.

T-shirt is easy to do - fabric is flat. Hardest part was concentrating while we cut stencils. Much harder to paint on the not flat canvas - like we did on Scotty's Vans sneakers.

[Deadcat Kaye]

Those shirts are amazing.

Madtwins, your talent will never cease to amaze me!

[Madtwins]

We are glad to bring some joyness to TLE forumers! You guys can truly appreciate any ours TLE works, we miss such people around in Kiev.

[The Dying Start]

I just don't have the concentration.


And i can't draw either.

Thanks for the rundown :). It’s very interesting to read about the actual process of making the t-shirts.

[carrymehomestead]

Sorry, I didn't read all the previous info, are you guys using a screen printing device to make the shirts?? My ex-girlfriend took a class in that and so got to use one of the school's, I was more excited about it than she was so she ended up making me a whole bunch of custom band T's. Alot of em got torn (they weren't made with the sturdiest production..) but I still have this awesome Radiohead one that just says in big caps "KICKIN' SQUEALIN' GUCCI LITTLE PIGGY". Maybe I'm lame, but I think it's really cool to have a band t-shirt with a lyrical phrase/phrases from the band on it. Maybe because it's not that commonly done or because I'm just obsessed with words. That was one of the coolest things about the old "Bomb Factory" (Self-Titled album cover) Living End shirt, it had scattered scrawls of lyrics from tracks on the album ("Is there a second solution?/Crime pays and the junkies walk away/etc.")

Edit: Speaking of the "bomb factory" shirt, I imported one from Aus back when they were still on sale, and it got destroyed...I dunno if it was shipping it across the world that damaged it or something, but I wore it to one show and somebody roughed me up the slightest bit and it essentially disintegrated. ANYWAY, I managed to cut out and save the main image on the front, it's like a blown up more detailed copy of the S/T album cover with the above mentioned lyric scrawls and I cut it out of the shirt so it's like a medium-sized square sorta...any suggestions on something ARTY I could do with it??

Double edit: I'm retarded, you clearly said right above that you PAINTED on the shirts. Sorry.

[Amur]

Tote bag! :p Not sure if it's suitable for guys though..:huh:

[carrymehomestead]

I think it's suitable!! I mean, it's not a purse..or a "european hand bag", as they say :D Maybe I should just donate it to somebody who could actually do something cool with it, I mean I'm not super artistically inclined and I think those shirts are pretty hard to come by these days. It could be made into a cool patch on something, but just sewing it onto a regular jacket or something seems too simple. It could be used as a part of something much more original and Living End-y...a flag, a jacket/shirt/bag/whatever with a bunch of other TLE imagery on it, I dunno. When I get a chance tomorrow I'll put an image up on here if anybody wants to see what I'm talking about (it's about 4 am NY time right now so I'm gonna go to bed).

I already have one XXL t-shirt from their Riot tour '99, I like the front image, but haven't managed yet to make a tote bag out of it as I wanted when I bought it last year for 1$ on ebay.

[carrymehomestead]

What does it look like?? Does it just have dates and a logo, or what's the main "image" so to speak?

I always wanted a "Roll On" era shirt, but especially cos of the car accident there wasn't really much in the way of specific merch from that era...I remember the "On Tour Forever" logo, but that was only on a few stickers and the like I think.

I doubt I can find picture of it (and I'm lazy to take a photo), but it's white and has black photo of guys sitting in a row plus red TLE logo above, like the one on the cover of S/T album.

It's better to go to sewing atelier and made a girlies t-shirt from XXL one.

[Madtwins]

Sorry, I didn't read all the previous info, are you guys using a screen printing device to make the shirts?? ...
Double edit: I'm retarded, you clearly said right above that you PAINTED on the shirts. Sorry.

Dunno what is screen printing device? It's like printer or not? Anyway we are fans of custom suff, anyway you did it. Of course here in Kiev we have some textile printing offices where you can print your picture on t-shirt or hoodie. But we don't like them because they actually asked a vector (made in Corel draw or Adobe Illustrator progs) pictures. We did all our vector pics in Flash, but usually we prefer bit-mapped pictures. And also prices in this printing offices are not low. So we paint our t-shirts :happy:

[carrymehomestead]

I never actually used the screen-printing device myself or took the class, so forgive the lack of technical explanation here. But basically it's an old-school machine...before what we think of as a printer today existed...and it uses a mechanical stencil, with this mesh thing and it sort of copies the chosen image and burns it into the fabric. You use a roller/squeegee and it forces the stenciled "ink" through the tiny spaces in the weaving and presses it in, so its almost like it "sews" the image onto the shirt/dress/jacket in a way. Then afterwards she used what I believe was just a regular hot iron, like for getting wrinkles out, and runs that over it gently for a while to lock and seal the image into the shirt.

Even though in a way it's just a really elaborate version of the way people stitch patches and stuff to their clothes, when screen-printing is done right, you can't tell the result apart from a shirt that was officially produced and bought from a store. So, if you were making a Living End shirt let's say, it's as if you could call up TLE merch HQ and specify what picture, text, etc. you wanted on the shirt and then have it pumped out and sent to you...only you made it yourself!!

I hope that made some sort of sense, I try not to say it in too strange of a way because I know English isn't your first language (even though you speak/write it quite well) and I'm hard to understand as it is.

[Madtwins]

You bacame so attentive, Carrymehomestead :)
Anyway making of custom shirt it's always more fun and exclusive than printing. This is matters for us to.

I had one aswell and it lasted my first outing, but disintegrated in the wash. They were just dud tshirts i think. Having bought it from a retail store i took it back and they didn't have any more so all i got was a gift voucher. I regret that, I really liked that design too.

Thanx! We already did some TLE t-shirt designs for the band. Not posted those pics at forum. Guys & Rae liked it and maybe we'll see some of those pictures among TLE merch in future.

KNEW it couldn't have been just me!!


I tried to look at the bigger version of the "Prisoner" T-shirt, but it said the image "had errors" so I couldn't look at it. Like my computer was trying to protect me or something. Damn machine!! Do my bidding!! But the first one is awesome.

[The Dying Start]

Awesome.

How are you bolstering the logos and stuff? Or are they just flat stitched panels?

[May]

It's stitched through layers of wadding and foam to give it a little definition :)

[The Dying Start]

Cool narnies!

Is this all in the same car? There seems to be heaps of them!

[May]

Yah. All going in the XP (Travs from the ATD clip) and it's a bit of a homage to the guys.

It's got bench seats that will be something like this when done:

The Pow, ST Skully and Q@^ logos (plus a BGD logo not yet finished) will go in the white area of the seat-backs.
The Roll On target will be in the middle of the rear seat-back.
There will be the WN era "The Living End" logo in the middle of the front seat-back.
Hellbound era Skully is on the front passenger seat-base
And there will be an IFYOG thing too...

Lotttttttts of fiddly work, but I'm loving the way it's coming together! :D

Snazzy! :D

[The Dying Start]

Proper job.

[Kacky]

That's it, I'm taking some art classes!

[Anfony]

That's seriously cool May!

[May]

That's it, I'm taking some art classes!
And clearly I need to take some photography classes :p

But you do realise my shit is all self taught? Trail and error baby - only way to go!

[May]

That's seriously cool May!
Thanks bud - I think I've finally found my art medium :)

[Kacky]

And clearly I need to take some photography classes :p

But you do realise my shit is all self taught? Trail and error baby - only way to go!

I have my own TLE project coming up, it's simple-ish (for me :p) and I can't wait to actually start it up!

[May]

Do tell? Or at least share pix when done!

[Kacky]

Pics will be for sure! Still collecting for the project though, stay tuned!

[Amur]

Here's what me and Sasha made tonight :p:

Ahh! I remember making those when I was a little brat. Although a lot simpler patterns!

[The Dying Start]

Those aren't the ones that make you high are they?

[tlelover91]

Those aren't the ones that make you high are they?

Nope, those are the ones you iron to get them to stick together.

The others are Bindis or whatever they are called. I wonder if kids were selling them in the playground?

[The Dying Start]

I remember we had them when i was a kid, but i dunno what those new ones were about...i like the idea of making kids high though.

[mattheal]

You still working in schools Glenn?

[Madtwins]

Cool! That's nice portrait Yana!!!
Hmm, and it looks like only we played with plastic wolf and bear in childhood

[The Dying Start]

Yes...:devil:

May... do up my car for me? PLEASE! I'd give you all my money!

[May]

There may be a delay on that.

Once Suzy is finally finished, there's some dining chairs, Glenns house, a friends Chev, another's Kombi... And Suzy's taken nearly 10 years to get to this point :p

But sure...

[Mitch-PTV]

and then do mine after Kerrins!

cause at this rate, by time you get around to it, ill own a 53 caddi Coupe Deville, and then yeah! :woot:

[The Dying Start]

Nice, I'm second!

I can wait :D

I wish I could just go out an buy TLE seat covers and all that. The only TLE related things I have used to modify the car is a sticker, and their necklace which is hanging from my rear-view mirror. Other than that my car looks pretty lame.

I don't have an artistic bone in my body... besides that one time I was with an artist... BOOM!

Heh. Nice one, Kerrin :p

Thought I'd try to beat Glenn to it

[The Dying Start]

I'm usually beating it myself...

[tlelover91]

I'm wanting to make some shirts but am so crap at making photos. If someone could help it would be very much appreciated! I'd love to make it with this picture:

http://www.enjoyperth.com.au/assets/pictures/373/content_the_living_end.jpg?1308200505

and probably lyrics of For Another Day around it somehow... as we all know I just can't get enough of that song.

Free t-shirt for whoever makes a pic for me :D

[May]

Blame Mitch...

[tlelover91]

May, my brother, who isn't even into TLE loves your car!

And I am so jealous of you! One day, maybe, I'll have a car similar. But probably wont look as good as how you have your car! I love Suzy!

[Madtwins]

May - your photos of that car is super-duper-mega cool!!!

[May]

Thanks girls.
Not as cool as having a comic released with the album, or featuring in a filmclip, but I'm happy with the way Suzy's come along... :p

[wizard_23]

That rocks so much May! Have I ever mentioned that the XP is my dream car?

[NowhereTown]

Thanks girls.

This girl should get a film clip all to herself!

[The Dying Start]

May just rolling around in all her TLE gear miming along?

[NowhereTown]

May just rolling around in all her TLE gear miming along?

Nah, cruising the streets in suzy, doing burn outs, racing rice cookers etc. the usual hoontastic stuff

[The Dying Start]

And then washing it down in a bikini after a hard day shredding tyres and embarrassing Habib in his skyline.

[May]

The world has much horror already. No way im adding to it with three triangles of fabric and some string... Dear god even im repulsed by that thought...

As for clip of her own...? You all know my relationship with the camera, so someone else would have to drive (gee, wonder if id struggle to get offers of help with that...?)

Pick me, pick me!!! The one without a license!! :ninja:

[The Dying Start]

Pick me, pick me!!! The one with a very tenuous grasp on his license!!

[Sarah]

You know I love it May! So nice to see a TLE XP makeover actually followed through with :laugh:

[May]

Pick me, pick me!!! The one with a very tenuous grasp on his license!!Your tenuous grasp on your license, my tenuous grasp on reality. Oh yeah, there's the winning combo ;)

[May]

You know I love it May! So nice to see a TLE XP makeover actually followed through with :laugh:Thanks doll.
Have there been others? Or were you just alluding to the fact mine's taken forever hehe? (????) :p

[May]

That rocks so much May! Have I ever mentioned that the XP is my dream car?Haha, maybe once or twice... But she's mine, all mine! :p Besides, this isn't an all red interior, so you wouldn't be interested :laugh:

[Sarah]

Thanks doll.
Have there been others? Or were you just alluding to the fact mine's taken forever hehe? (????) :p

I had plans to reline the roof of my first XP wagon with a TLE skull print, but ended up chopping the old girl into a million little pieces and taking her to the tip. *sadface*

[May]

Oh, </3 that brings sadface :(

But on a lighter note... Am waiting for hoodlining to come from the states, but if it doesn't get here soon, I've serious thoughts about TLE-ing the old lining up a tad... :happy:

[MyWeepingGuitar]

As for clip of her own...? You all know my relationship with the camera, so someone else would have to drive (gee, wonder if id struggle to get offers of help with that...?)

...or May, you could do one of those road trip movies where you don't actually see the drivers face, just their shoes when they stop at the truck stop...

Seriously, the car looks awesome! You've done a great job!

[May]

I could do that I guess.

And thanks. Can't wait til we can finish her and get her on the road!

[tlelover91]

I finally have something worthy of putting into this amazing thread!

:)

[MyWeepingGuitar]

Have been getting a bit crafty lately, decorating my music room and refreshing/recycling a few items...

TLE t-shirts get an airing from my bottom drawer and become cushion covers spiced up with a bit of embroidery... and my corner shelf unit becomes a collage of my photos!
http://www.thelivingend.com/vBforum/picture.php?albumid=30&pictureid=190

[Sarah]

I like the cushion idea. Simple but effective!

[Colezy]

I had that cushion idea a while back but it quickly disappeared when I remembered my major lack of arts and crafts skills :p

Looks great!!

[May]

Very cool! :)

[MyWeepingGuitar]

Thanks guys...just don't look too closely at the green cushion - a long time since I've done much sewing and made a few mistakes...might have to buy another one from F2F and redo it ;)

[The Dying Start]

Cool Cushions!
