MADE IN HELL SOLD OUT (but not in the bad way)

lostprophets — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 20:11:55 +0000

Yes folks, the first run is done and dusted, never to be made again once they are all sent out. Thanks to everyone who ordered a shirt or four, you won't regret it.

For anyone who missed out this time, or didn't like any of the designs or didn't have the money, I have put up a little treat for you in the store. Go check it out. Again, we don't have many of them and they are limited to one per person.

WEARABLE ART EXPERIMENT, "MADE IN HELL CLOTHING"

lostprophets — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 18:39:31 +0000

Over the years, I've been approached by various people and companies about starting my own clothing line, and I've always said no. Do we really need another guy in a band selling crap t-shirts just to pump up his ego? It seemed a bit cliche.

But, as you may or may not know, I used to be a graphic designer and still do all the artwork for the band - album covers, single covers, merch, website, logos...etc. etc. (Jamie helps with illustrations sometimes because he's an awesome painter). Naturally, I've amassed a lot of ideas and designs that couldn't or haven't worked in the context of the band. I looked through them a few months back and realized it would be a shame to let them go to waste.

That said, I still didn't like the idea of being another guy in another band putting his name to crap.

Through my studies of graphic design, I've gotten well into art and collecting it whenever possible. My favorite is mostly street, urban stuff like Banksy and Micallef because I love the way that when they make something, it's limited and unique. The person who owns their work has the pleasure of knowing that there are very few people in the world who have claim to the same thing.

So I had an idea. What if I did something with my designs using this limited element - to make these shirts more than just shirts - make them actual, special works of art (that also make you look rad)?

I don't really want to call this a company. I see it more as an experiment, an event. There wont be any big marketing campaign, no big promo, no giveaways. This is something special that I am doing myself. You won't be able to get my shirts in stores or through any other outlets. I don't feel the need to advertise it any further than telling you guys and letting you spread the word...for the time being.

Each cycle will consist of four of my own designs, as well as one collaboration with another artist. I will only produce a limited number of each design. As each one sells out, the screen will be destroyed, never to be produced again. That's it, done. Once all the designs are gone, a new set will go up. Each shirt will be made to order - there's no stockpiled warehouse lying in wait. Every shirt will be numbered and custom made, and will come with a sticker and a badge. Every design will come from my brain via my hands through whatever medium I feel like using at that moment. It's a way to get my ideas out and have other people be a part of it - looking fucking awesome while doing so.

The chances of seeing anyone wearing the same shirt as you are slim to none, and when people start complimenting you and asking where they can get one, you can smugly tell them they can't. They are gone. They are shit out of luck.

Sex, drugs, and moderate violence

lostprophets — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 17:59:00 +0000

Good title, I thought, and pretty apt also. I wanted to hit u guys up, give u an update of our goings on etc. Album wise is gonna be sweet. Still not sure on a release date, but I'm super excited about getting it out there. Best yet, I reckon.

As for other stuff, we have been working on a lot of other cool shit that will start materializing in the next few weeks, months. The first one I'll tell u about may not interest u, but its something different that I was a part of and its always cool telling people about stuff. I've been working on various projects with a couple of fashion photographers. The shoots have ranged from being really high end fashion concepts with the Ian Watkins that you know and hate, to a taboo-pushing, ground-breaking 'terry richardson' style shoot. That last shoot was the most interesting for me as it gave me the chance to act completely out of character and explore the the extreme nihilism of the 80's rock star. We created a digi cam photo diary where I played a character that was a fusion of Jim Morrison and Nikki Sixx...need I say more? Oh ok I will, let me just say that no one was harmed during the shoot and that no animals or children were used! It was an interesting experience, and even though it was staged, some of the results look worryingly realistic, but i guess thats the whole point innnittt! Keep your eyes peeeeeled.

As for the other stuff, look for some big news early May.

Update for the triggers...

lostprophets — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 22:07:37 +0000

Hope everyone had a good xmas, new year and holiday season. Mine was chilled. We have finished and recorded 14 songs for the album, but still have more ideas, so like i said before, us being us, have decided to write and record these. It means that the album probably wont be out till the summer, but also means that there may be better songs on it...haha. Or not though, cause the new ideas might be pants. Anyway, we are gonna write in Wales cause LA has done our heads in. We need a break from it and to get back to our roots. Male voice choirs all the way now boys.

I also made a cameo in the new Blackout video for high tide summer summer summer summer baby summer we love summer sorry song. We shot it a few fridays back for a budget of next to nothing, but i pulled some favours with my international arena performer connections and it looks like it could be quite cool. Obviously made much better by the fact that im in it. We had a laugh, and the boys pulled some sweet moves and looked lovely, so that should be out soon hopefully.

Got some more cool news in the pipeline, so i'll keep you posted.

Peace up, A Town down.

PONTY REPRESENT

lostprophets — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 04:04:02 +0000

Big shout out to the Ponty massive that came out in force this past saturday. It was an amazing show, with a lot of amazing bands. We had a wikkid time, and was lovely to have all our families and friends there. Apparently i was supposed to do a song with the Blackout (as if a fantastic Bon Jovi cover the other night wasnt enough), but got confused by Sean doing so many other guest appearances with almost every other band on the festival that i didnt realise what was going on till too late. Boys played an awesome show tho, and hopefully their album wont let anybody down, cause they have a lot to live up to now....I have faith. Like GM.

As for other news, we are about to go in to record the new record. Hopefully it should be done by sept. Its a dark and negative record, but still catchy obvs. Time to unleash our vader.

We will no doubt see some of you at T in the Park, and of course Reading and Leeds.

Dont forget to order your MEGA LOLZ tee. Everytime i see someone wearing them i smile with pride that we have made their life a little bit better, and of course, more fashionable.
