I know this has already been addressed but.... Has anyone ever been approached by a fellow Aphex Twin fan? I went to a hardcore show tonight wearing an aphex twin shirt. This guy approached me and was like "Dude you like Aphex Twin? That's awesome I love him" We talked for a couple of minutes and he brought up the Dillinger Escape Plan cover of "Come to Daddy". I thought it was really cool, I always secretly hope that will happen when I sport my AFX shirt (usually I hope it's a chick though). This guy might even post here, if so.. hey it's me the guy you talked to at the vegan cookout/show. |

hasn't happened, but i was in a virgin records store and some guy brought up drum n' bass and similar shit to the cashier and was mentioning some shit and i was gonna bring up squarepusher, but i knew i'd go on and on like a fuggin geek. |

|

I was at a resturaunt a few ago in EUGENE OR and some guy came up to me, in the middle of my dinner and said" Oh man, that is the most awsome shirt ever!!!...Aphex Rulez!!!"..... I had on my black Aphex T at the time. He was a nice lad. |

this guy with an aphex decal on his car came through drive through and i was like NO SHIT! i love aphex! and once i was with my bf who was wearing a plaid shirt and some girl came up and asked him if he went to the show (i was amazed...the nerve!!!). which of course he did. |

I've always wanted an AFX-logo t-shirt... I guess I'll have to make one myself, somehow. Any ideas? I'd like a white logo on a black shirt. |

nothing specific, but I have witnessed a few cheeky grins from people who have recognized my homemade aphex shirt. |

just do a silkscreen, that is how i made mine, it is a simple pattern so it isn't tough. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah - but where do i find a silkscreen, and wouldn't I also need a wooden frame for the screen to be fitted to? Also... Are there special types of paint for fabric, I mean - can you wash your shirt without problems? I'm getting some money soon. Maybe I should try and buy a shirt instead. |

if ya got a printer then you can buy sheets of iron-on transfers, do your design on PC and then just print it out and iron it on, it probably wont last as long as a silkscreen but it worked out allright for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's probably be easier to just buy a shirt then unless you are going to want to screen other stuff (you can buy textile ink for the screens you make that will last in through the wash). don't go the iron on route, that will wear off in a week. |
||||||||

|
|
thanks for the insights... |

don't go the iron on route, that will wear off in a week.* *that all depends on how carefully you wash it.. btw, I don't mind the weathered look after a week or two, it kinda suits the cover of SAW2 :), and when it wears out I simply make another... but I guess it's all personal preference... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
my silkscreen of the logo was my first ever screen, so it looked pretty grainy, but in a good way, and atleast it won't peel off iron on style... |

i went to buy my first turntable a few days ago and the guy selling it to me asked what sort of music will i be playing on it, of coarse i said AFX and he was totaly excited, we talked about afx for a few mins but i forgot to mention xltronic.com, dam! |

did you get his number? ;-) |

|
|
hey mimi, since you seem so concerned about defending the technique of the silkscreen over an iron on transfer then could you show me a pic of your efforts? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sheesh i didn't mean to come off as really opinionated on this subject. no big deal. i just suck at ironing, that's all. anyhow, do you really want a picture? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey mimi, I'm not trying to have a go at ya? (I'm sorry if it came out that way) it's all cool. (the more homemade aphex shirts made the better!) yes I would very much like to see a pic, |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
well my afx shirt isn't at home right now, but i also made an afx bag, so here is a photo of that kind of rough looking, this is the second one i did. looks a bit plasticky on this particular fabric. |
