Why....

about I Listen To Bands... Print

I love this phrase and everything (and it's good on a shirt because we can't make them the same quality), but why would I pay $35 for something I could print out myself for $3? It's not even a crazy font or anything. Waste of money!

luckybeitia on Jun 30 '08 at 4:51pm

can u make the same quality print for $3?

speedyjvw on Jun 30 '08 at 4:55pm

screen printing on really really nice paper cost more than $3

martiandrivein on Jun 30 '08 at 4:56pm

Wait... WHAT?! Joe, you mean to tell me, that screen printing costs money, and that really really nice paper isn't free?

Whatever on the price. It made me laugh and smile. That's priceless!!!

Puma7 on Jun 30 '08 at 5:51pm

yes... I don't know about putting slogans on prints. I don't think that will sell very well.

i'm surprised that the print prices don't vary depending on the amount of colours/layers just as the t-shirt prices do.

I love Evan's slogan, but this is a bit of a head-scratcher.

jublin on Jun 30 '08 at 6:38pm

ha i hear you fatheed. i can't say that i'd enjoy having a funny sentence framed on my wall when there are so many amazing illustrations i'd prefer.

I guess people must want them, though. All three of today's prints have 250 editions.

There are 216 of these ones left to 218 of ABCs to 207 of Biggie was right... so it's right on par with the art prints..

LOVE the line, DON'T love the typography, SHAME about the shirt, VERY expensive poster...

I called it first.... people laughed then, and didn't understand because i was a time traveller from the future, but i've been vindicated :P

Hey all! Yeah, I was more than a little surprised when Threadless asked me if they could print this on a poster, but after I questioned a few of my friends, a lot of them said to my surprise that they'd rather have this as a poster than tee! I don't think I agree with them, but I'm really appreciative that Threadless wanted to print this up in pretty poster form, and now this saves me the trouble of trying to stuff a shirt into a wall hanger one day and try to make it as wrinkle-free as possible.

opifan64 on Jun 30 '08 at 8:15pm

I think it's kind of minimalist and fun as a poster actually... would look nice in a shadow box type frame (light colour) with the poster floating just over the backing. That's how I had my tree town print framed and it looks awesome

fatheed on Jun 30 '08 at 8:22pm

If I was a record producer I'd have this on the wall in my office behind my desk along side all my triple-platinum discs.

sometimes i just don't get it.

but hey at least it's a testament to the power of your slogan frickinA. the power is yours.

Gar0 on Jul 01 '08 at 4:56am

I'd like a set of fridge magnets with these slogans on them.

ryderup on Jul 01 '08 at 5:09am

Hasn't that line been on a tshirt from tshirthell.com? Seen it on tshirts before.

squatterjohn on Jul 01 '08 at 5:33am

You've probably seen it on t-shirts at Threadless.

FRICKINAWESOME on Jul 02 '08 at 8:50pm

'I'm surprised that the print prices don't vary depending on the amount of colours/layers just as the t-shirt prices do.'

Agreed. I own the t-shirt and I think it's cool on the wall too. But $25 it's too expensive for a poster.

Man, and the peeps on toppa you were complaining about the 35 Somolians you'd have to pay on a regular work week for the poster!

rodrigobhz on Jul 18 '08 at 8:04am

hahahaha, don't get me wrong FA. What I'm trying to say is:

If I had $25, I prefer to buy another 2 'Listen to the bands' t-shirts to buying a poster. So, I can show to everybody on the streets this awesome slogan. :)

I love filmmaking. Directing, filming, [especially] editing... It's pretty much what I want to do forever. Photography is pretty sweet as well.

I really feel like visiting the Seychelles islands.
