Custom Aphex Twin shirt. . .

I'll explain: I want a basic t-shirt with the Aphex Twin
logo printed on the front. How wouldI go about doing that?
Are there special tailor places where I can pay to have that
logo stitched in or what??

Also, if I were to get such a shirt, what would be the best
colour combination? I think a white shirt with a
brown/black AFX logo on the front would be the best. . .

Or how about "Come To Daddy" stitched on the front and the
AFX logo on the back?

just find somebody who can silkscreen things, give them the
logo, and find a white t-shirt.

i just made a shirt like that. Its a basic white shirt with
a black aphex logo.

I bought some black fabric paint, a small brush and some
special sticker-like paper with a grid on it so you can
easily draw and cut out the logo, then put it on your shirt
without having to keep it in place yourself. After you
painted it you let it dry, then you iron it into the shirt
for a few minutes, with a protective cloth between the shirt
and the iron.

You could also ask around in photo/printshops, but it will
cost you more.

I'm not sure...

there are shops that do it for pretty a reasonable price I
think...

just make sure it's silkscreened. much better quality that
way...

good luck!

Wouldn't it be cool, though, if every Aphex Twin fan walked
around with a shirt with the AFX logo on it?? That'd be
awesome, fellow AFX fans recognizing fellow AFX fans at the
grocery store, in the mall, at the movie theatres!

yeah, that would be cool...

well, most people just look at the logo, then a weird
unexplainable expression appears on their faces, and then
they just walk on. And thats how its supposed to be. So
yeah, that would be cool but i doubt you'll see a lot of
fans..

I wouldnt ever want Aphex Twin to be in the charts.
Windowlicker has been, but only cuz of the video of course.
The music is just as great, but the people dont even realise
this. So, aphex will not be mainstream.

As it is obvious enough for me that no harm can be done,
when showing the Aphex Twin logo in public places, i will
soon be starting a massive logo sticker mission.

Yeah people who don't know shit about Aphex Twin won't
recognize the logo for what it is, but if someone asks you,
you can explain, and they'll recognize the symbol next time
they see it. . . .

I too would not want Richard D. James all of the sudden
becoming popular, showing up on TRL out of the blue, hearing
his music videos on the radio alonside *nsync and Britney
Spears, but come on!!! It's not like that will ever happen,
but it would be positively thrilling if I saw someone else
walking around with the same shirt, identifying them as an
Aphex enthusiast. And if EVERY Richard D. James fan started
wearing one, then I'm sure it would start to crop up SOME
attention.

People would see the symbol more often and take note of it,
and wonder what it meant, or what it was.

BTW, what DOES it mean? What is the symbolism supposed to
be? I always thought that it doesn't really mean anything
at all, but I dunno.

Ok I see that you are from Canada. Cool, I might be able to
help you.

Just go to any store that makes the photographs (here it is
usually chineese people who have it) and ask them if they
can print the photo on a white t-shirt. It should not cost
you more than 15-20$.

I think any store that can produce pictures from a
photo-camera films can do it for you. Just print out the
logo on a piece of paper and give it to them instead of the
photograph (that they would normally use to print on a
t-shirt).

T-shirt is 100% cotton!

here's what you'll need if you want to do it my way. a silk
screen, textile ink, a squeegee, a blank shirt, and a
printer.
making t-shirts is fun
