hell yeah, on both counts. but i love hooks as much as i love bikes. i'm always happy to share pix and experiences, just pm me (minimizing thread derail).
Ever smash yourself in the balls with a hammer just for kicks? Set your hair on fire? Randomly pull out teeth with pliers? Staple documents to your forehead?
:crazy:

after coming across the same evolution theme in a different bike forum I have second thoughts. How about evolving to the ridemonkey logo rather than a bike instead?

^ Or devolve from man to monkey, to monkey on bike. That would be different since all the one's I've seen go from Man to Monkey.

I prefer the artwork on the back so I don't feel like a walking billboard.

I'd prefer to stick with single color graphics so that money can be spent on excellent quality shirts without raising the cost to the consumer Monkey.

Of course, these are just suggestions and you are encouraged to fling poo at me :D
if you want the green to come out right on a black shirt you kinda should do a white underbase so the green "pops". At that point might as well print it as a 2 color job.
IMHO.

I am diggin all the designs Stinky! BTW I printed 2 shirts with the large "head" displaced on the side of the shirt last year!

I just officially moved my shop last night, I do not have an ETA when I will back up and running. Maybe as long as a month.

H8R has long been up and running and did a great job on the RM hoodies, etc. but Mr. Bishop tells me he has a screener, but of course we'd love to see a long time Monkey do the work, but it's his call.

He has the vector artwork for the Evolution design, and I'm looking forward to seeing them printed (of course on a black T)

:yes:

or a green shirt with black or white print,
I would buy this one. I have way too many black shirts to include my own company one done by H8R of course.

I will only buy a few if H8R makes them. Keep it in RM please!!!!! Just like those diecuts, hint...hint

Dammit. I have been away from RM too long, not paying attention.

Oh well. They won't be environmentally friendly and printed with care by a bike loving nerd, but I'm sure everyone will enjoy them.

I would have loved to bid on it though.



BTW - anyone want to buy a 6 color press? I'm looking at 8 color machines...

are the designs on the front page final? i'm loving the evolution idea, but can we switch up the sides? evolution characters on the back, ridemonkey on the front?

then again, i'm doubting that the monkey will be taking special orders...:D

rofl indeed.






Speaking of shirts - I am installing a new press this week and should be back up and running by late next week. I know I owe a few monkey people some emails, it has been super hectic this past month. (just sold my other press yesterday).

New press will have 8 color capacity and ultra high tolerance.

I also bought more large format screen inventory and a bunch of other gear including a jacket printing hold down. Ready to rock.


Double you oh oh tee.

I have no idea where I am
If Pinkbike did rip off RM, then they did a sh1t job of it.

Stinky's design flows better than theirs. The progression from ape on all fours flows into the next and ends with a rider in a much more dynamic position than the Pinkbike design. The ape with it's arms in the air and walking is out of context with the whole idea of evolution in the first place.



And according to Pinkbike they had some contest for this design that involved 40 designers and this is what they chose ? Graphic designers my ass.

I'm done. I'm done with free artwork or advice or donation bikes or not running over a crackhead in the alley behind my place. I'm too tired and have too many other things to worry about...

Fuk it.
