Guyronimo 0 #26 July 10, 2006 Hi again! So, you sicko's still want my shirts- Ok, I'll have to figure out something after we get back from summer vacation. The main deal is that these shirts have to be hand screenprinted by me, the artist, here in Sweden or it just ain't the same. Then I can ship over a couple boxes to Square One (I assume) or a good contact who wants to deal with the mail order stuff. I've done over 100 original skydiving T-shirt designs dating back to 1974, but I think those 2 classics, EFS & BSBD would be a good start. Note: I made some slight improvements on EFS some years back (booties and grips on the jumpsuit) but other then that, those shirts will be exactly the same, printed on Beefy-T type heavy cotton T's. Probably long arm black shirts for EFS like the originals. 6 to 8 color print quality will be a bit better as materials and machines have improved since the early ´80´s. Black Death shirts: Yeah, there's a fine line there- but there's some real history behind those designs as many of you know, and the message was safety. I could write a book . . . Anyway, thanks for surviving, it's nice to have a bunch of you guys still around to write to! Guy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

niu 0 #31 July 10, 2006 Not that I`m skydiving anymore,but a bsbd shirt would be fine. The old one died of fatigue at least ten years ago.

That BSBD Shirt kicks (_*_) over anything I have seen in my short time in the sport. Only request is that you keep whomever sells them from trying to gouge the people intrested in resurrecting your art. I am all for making a profit (I'm in sales) but if the initial intrest is high someone might get the bright Idea to mark them up 200% instead of a reasonable 40%.. With that I am sure I would be in for at least 6 to give away as presents.. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.
