So, while we all wait for me to redo my amazing radio logo design to make it big enough to fit on a tshirt (the quality degrades too much when you resize it up)((Also I’m trying to put together a resume for my future life/battling disillusionment/would you like to give me a job?)), here are a two shirts I designed for WMWC (UMW’s other radio station) a few years ago.
I silk screened two runs of the first shirt (no idea how many, at least a hundred?), but the second one was deemed too controversial/discriminatory by our faculty adviser. (Turns out Fredericksburgers find communism puns to be of the utmost vulgarity)
Yeah that’s braille. Yes, I realize it’s not very tasteful. I’ve since taken Foss’s DisLit and hope I am absolved of my past transgressions.
I still have that radio shirt (both colours that I got) and wear it proudly when the weather is nice. I’m also super excited about a DS106 Radio shirt. And finally good luck on the resume, I feel your pain.
HMMM, so the Mao one was too ‘vulgar’? I don’t know…. the Helen Keller (?) one seems a little rough. Mao, on the other hand, is being belittled by a pun. Shouldn’t the Frednecks like that?

Man, did you really get in trouble over that one? It’s awesome! You don’t have to BE a communist to appreciate a good pun based off of a communist leader’s name. I feel that this calls for Family Guy.
Haha, not really “in trouble,” we just had to awkwardly fend off frednecks who were giving us flack while we were selling them at the multicultural fair.
I like these gems from the vault, and now I know the ds106 radio shirt comes from a long traditional of greatness. Did you silk screen the WMWC shorts yourself?
I had a friend/housemate that had photo emulsion chemicals and a pretty big screen and we printed them all in a couple of hours, hanging them all over our apartment. The heat-setting actually took longer (strangely enough, I ironed the shirts while watching/suffering through the first twilight movie…). Setting up the silk screen is the hard part. Printing the shirts is pretty repetitive.
loved the mao shirt, haha 😀
