Crumb character) shirt that also said, "Keep on Truckin."<br /><br />Until recently I had this shirt, it was a primitive print on shirt just a primitively tie-dyed.<br /><br />We printed the shirts in the "Old Bio Building" which soon was at the time a rundown art space. The Olin Corporation had donated a new bio building and stipulated that Old Bio was to be torn down. The next t-shirt I remember working on was "Save Old Bio" shirts which I honestly cannot remember if we had stenciled or screenprinted. Activism so often does not succeed, but in this case we did start a campaign which did indeed save Old Bio and it stand until this day.<br /><br />This was about 1971 and I think we hand cut the Mr. Natural stencil. I was helping my friend Peter Brown (now a PHD researcher in biology I think) because back in the day the water-based inks dried so fast you needed extra hands to keep moving or else the screen would permanently be clogged.Biskithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16615335858229539683noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614762672042185710.post-34462209705189891812007-02-19T17:55:00.000-08:002007-02-19T18:00:40.961-08:00Start at the Beginning<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"><b>“<b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(153, 255, 153);">Start</b> at the <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 153, 153);">beginning</b> and then go through till you come to the end.”</b></span></p> <span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"><b><b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Alice</b> in <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Wonderland</b>, Queen’s advice to <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Alice</b></b></span><br /><br />I'm not sure where I'm going with this blog, but starting at the beginning was the advice received here.Biskithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16615335858229539683noreply@blogger.com0
