Tees for the Fins
July 5, 2009
T-Shirts for the Findells
While I was in Staunton we printed some tees for the Fins. The first design fuses the lyrics from their wonderful song, “Helen of Troy” off the “Lost in Paradise” album with my painting “Eurydice’s Dance”. Classical Greece meets rock n’ roll. Yes!
The second is from a scratchboard of Adam and Eve that became a design for the Spanish language version of the Fins “Naked with You”.
Lyrics from “Naked with You” are featured in the third design that was taken from illustrations I did for Jean-Pierre Galland’s book entitled “Fumée Clandestine” (published by Ramsay in 1991). It’s a wink at Manet’s “Déjeuner sur l’Herbe”. The double meaning is “lost in translation” into the English “Lunch on (the) Grass”.
