New DBH Submission

This is actually a re-working of an old design. I'd love to see it printed, I think it will make a standout shirt. I'll post when it is approved so you can go vote for it if you like it.

To be a saint is the exception; to be upright is the rule. Err, falter, sin, but be upright. To commit the least possible sin is the law for man. Sin is a gravitation.
- Victor Hugo (1802 - 1885), 'Les Miserables'

Random Band 2

I would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 - 1969)

Random Bands

Via Jotham

Was put onto this idea by Jotham. Have always been amused by the creation of band names, album titles etc derived from random means. This seems to be a good contemporary way of doing it.
Here is what i came up with. Leave a link in the comments and show me yours.

Rubens LP

Ive always admired an artist who can show form movement and expression with a few simple lines, here is an excellent example.

Lucid Decapitation

"...Here, then, is what I was able to note immediately after the decapitation: the eyelids and lips of the guillotined man worked in irregularly rhythmic contractions for about five or six seconds … I waited for several seconds. The spasmodic movements ceased.

The face relaxed, the lids half closed on the eyeballs, leaving only the white of the conjunctiva visible, exactly as in the dying whom we have occasion to see every day in the exercise of our profession, or as in those just dead.

It was then that I called in a strong, sharp voice: 'Languille!' I saw the eyelids slowly lift up, without any spasmodic contractions … Next Languille's eyes very definitely fixed themselves on mine and the pupils focused themselves … After several seconds, the eyelids closed again, slowly and evenly, and the head took on the same appearance as it had had before I called out..."

More Otzi

"Among Otzi's possessions were two species of polypore mushrooms. One of these (the birch fungus) is known to have antibacterial properties, and was likely used for medical purposes. The other was a type of tinder fungus, included with part of what appeared to be a complex firestarting kit. The kit featured pieces of over a dozen different plants, in addition to flint and pyrite for creating sparks."
