London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

yay! clean clothes arrived in the post yesterday! one more day of putting off doing the laundry.

(cheers josh, it's awesome)

You're an excellent draughtsman, Josh, love that drawing of you and the bike... You'd be perfect for a job I'm doing so I may put some illustration work* your way, would you be up for that? J :]
*Paid, of course!

woo! rocking mine today. thanks josh!

very nice. mike-giant-esque! :D

what did you use? photoshop? illy? sharpie?

got mine today, i think i prefer the envelope, the card and the beautiful hand writing on the package than the T! (the shirt is awesome though)

Got mine Yesterday.
Wearing it today.
Its boss. The quality of the tee itself is really nice, just the right thickness. The sleeves even stay rolled up!

woot.

Money well spent :)

i just use staedtler/pilot/edding drawing pens in about five weights. i have a sharpie but i've no idea how the fuck you can do anything refined with them! MG gots the skillz, so I'm flattered indeed. However, while I love it in his work, I'm not into his themes (tattoo/skate/graffiti culture) for what I do. Not yet anyway. I just like portraying ordinary objects in a certain way.

A few people have said about it being Giant-esque, that's what led me to look at his work at first. I'd been drawing like this for a while. I'm into being exact but thinking carefully about the weights and organisation of lines, which I suppose gives a certain character. I don't think that precise drawings have to be dry or devoid of 'art'.

Actually, scratch that- edding liner pens are wank.

My t-shirt is rubbish! Must be a faulty batch. The collar at is high at the front, low at the back and the size label irritates my Adam's apple! And how have they managed to print the image on the back of the shirt instead of the front?!!

Oh....wait. Hang on... Something's not right here....

lol, you funny bastard :D

Sequel?

If you do one with the guy with the superprecise face, I'd buy one.

Arrived this morning, it's stunning.

Josh can you do portraits?

I'd like one of me in tweed to hang above the fireplace.

MIne arrived today! Everyone loves it. Definitely let me know if you do any more. Cheers Josh!

I certainly could do you something but you might be taken aback by how much I'd have to charge... the one up there ^ took absolutely aaaaaggggggeeeeeess. Shall we have a chat over a pint at some point?

(thanks for all the kind words everyone)

Just got mine today thanks Josh for that mate really smooth....... as for the t shirt all been said already it's FAB loving it loads and fits a treat too !!

Cheers again Job well done !

got it, its sweet! well done

your sketch up there reminds me of one i did not so long ago :)

The resemblance is uncanny!

right?

From the Spotted ... thread:

These t-shirts are frickin sweeeeet, nice to see that your not charging extortionate prices either. That other design you did is nice as well, certainly up for buying one of these when I get some money together. Where did you study?

They're all sold out I'm afraid, sorry!

Still available on the Howies Teepay web-site:

And someone *slightly* less imaginative than Superprecise has made this:

http://teepay.com/frontend/showtee/2553

I had no idea it was still for sale on the Teepay website. Cheers Oliver. I would advise anyone interested to contact Teepay to see if it's still 'in print' or whether it needs to reach a certain number of requests first.

They've not stopped selling it since it first reached the 50-vote barrier. I can only assume that they've sold quite a few of them by now. Do you still get royalties, or was it part of the deal that you signed away your rights to the design?

In any case, it might be interesting to find out how many they've sold by now. That they've kept it on there (and look at the numbers--they seem to have gone through a few thousand designs by now) seems to indicate that it's a good seller.

I know for a fact that they have printed 134, some ordered through Teepay, some through Howies (sold directly and in their Carnaby Street shop) and some for promotional stuff. For these I have received £330ish in royalties.

I know this because recently I contacted them as I kept seeing it for sale in the Howies shop and I had only received my initial cheque for the first 50, which I understand were ordered by and printed for individuals and not speculatively as stock. They were very agreeable and sorted it out straight away; it was just a bit of an administrative misunderstanding.

Teepay was fun but it is way more satisfying and financially rewarding to do it for yourself. I'm planning to do some merino wool scarves sometime soon so watch this space... ;)

Rad, thanks a lot!

I'm a big fan of your work, but being vegan I won't get one of those.

where did you do your architecture postgrad

London Met.

Not even if it's organic?!

No, wool isn't vegan (living without using animal products). Whether it's organic or not has no bearing on the matter. (Sorry if humour fail, I couldn't work out if that was meant as a joke. :) )

Dear oh dear Oliver! Hook, line and sinker. You are a legend.

Just received an email saying that this t-shirt is now available through Teepay (Howies) at the discounted price of £12.50 which, at half price, is a lot more reasonable than what they were charging before.

Yup, just bought one. Looks fantastic on here, nice work mate.

wah? where? superprecise can you leave a link ?

Oops, sorry!

Click here

How do you do that with the link? I mean change the text that shows up in the thread to say 'Click here'.

Just wondering like...

john.

click on the insert link above the box where you type your message ^ (it looks like a little planet Earth with a tiny length of chain in front of it).

Then, in the box that pops up, paste the URL of the link and press OK.

Finally, once you are back to the message box, change the text already highlighted between the bracketed HTML stuff (by default it will repeat the URL).

:)

Crap...no small ones, look awesome though, nice one
