Graphics Design and Aritistic Mags - Help

[glademaster]

I know that there are plenty of maggots/minions that are very good graphic designers and are quite artistic to boot (MD9 comes to mind first, but I know there are others). Anyway, I'm in my high schools environmental "tree hugger" club, "EarthShine" and we something that will identify us and serve as a fundraiser. All profits will be donated to an environmetal association of some kind, I've evern suggested some go to avalanche research or various groups trying to protect certain areas/resorts from development.

But anyway, we need a logo for t-shirts that will be sold at our school. Something that depicts a clean/healthy environment and clearly showcases the "EarthShine" name on it. Within those parameters, any design that you can submit is a good design. Everything that is posted will be run by the members of the group, and should we decide on a winner, they will be notified, given a cash reward of some size, an "EarthShine" t-shirt featuring the logo, and if they will be at the Utah MiniSummit, a 6-pack of the beer of their choosing. So help me out maggots, the proceeds from the sales will go to a good cause. Thanks in advance everyone.

Sounds like a cool project for some of these younger guys looking to get some work printed and maybe add to their portfolios. I'd like to help, but I'm currently in the 8th level of hell busy at both home and work.

[PeachesN'Cream]

i too will opt out due to being way the hell over extended on all my extra projects. (god damn i so owe gunderson his website :o )

sounds like a good cause and i'm sure somebody will pull it through for ya.

[glademaster]

Bump for the weekday crew. Please lend any ideas you have, it's for a good cause.

[basom]

these are the best ones i can make with limited time. i like the store front and the poem the best. you can mail me the six pack.

How about this:

There's a tree. Getting ready to cut down said tree is some dood with a chainsaw. The saw probably has lots of noxious fumes. But, there's another dood who has just kicked the tree-chopper dood and is pissing on him while screaming "Shine my earth, bitch!" The tree-hugger could even be wearing the shirt-- symbolic of the continuity of the environmental movement and the need for it to continue through generations.

I can't draw, though.

[bad_roo]

How about a giant whelk, maybe about the size of a dumpster, tearing through the streets of Tokyo killing screaming humans with its hideous trail of snot. As the people run into shot, they could be wearing special 'Earthshine' promotional hats, much like the paper hats they used to wear at Wendy's.

The whelk has to look seriously pissed though.

Very nice Dante reference!

I guess nothing should surprise me about you JA!

now take the test see where you really are

[bad_roo]

That whelk looks like a rampaging maelstrom of hate, carving an apocalyptic swathe through the consumer electronics retailing district of Shinjuku, devastating the gross national product of Japan in a horrific scene of bukkake destruction. He embodies what I come to think of as the very essence of Earthshine.

[basom]

DONT FUCK WITH EARTHSHINE, CRACKERS!

[basom]

..........

[Aldo]

That last one should work. Make up some stickers and slap them on the rich chicks Escalades! I can just see you submitting that to a room full of the club members, totally serious, " I've had a focus group work through this, and they came up with this cracker concept. " Ugh, that's funny. Is that the electronics district though?

[basom]

its Shinjuku. if that is indeed the electronics district, then yes.

Does anyone have any worthwhile, serious contributions? I know plenty of people had great ideas for Summit stickers, ski topsheets, etc. Can we please apply that same artistic talent and ability to this project? Thanks in advance to anyone who submits something that could be a viable option.

if you don't bring angry bukkake whelk up as a possibility to your school group i will be personaly insulted. do you realize how much time i put into this for you? Thats the last time i do you any favours, unless you put it on the list of options. thats all i;m asking. imho he is the perfect logo/spokesman for your cause, that is plain enough.

[hop]

I leave the visuals to basom, but why not just have a giant hand spraying and wiping down the earth with Windex? Earthshine. Seems simple to me.

However, the bukkake whelk is stunning and you should use it. One of those needs to be made into a sticker.

[Angry Whelk]

Glademistress: i will fucking spew on your face if you don not give me the recognition that i deserve! cracker ass non enviornment understanding whelk hating bitch! its bukkake for you and your whole family!

(sorry, glade)

[basom]

i'm definitly going to make some stickers.

shinjuku, motherfucker! makes me laugh pretty hard.

[Cornholio]

You want something MORE CREATIVE than an angry mollusk carving a path of destruction through densly populated cities with it's evil snail-snot?

Tough crowd.

[basom]

pretty insensitive, really.

looking a gifthorse in the mouth i'd say.

[glademaster]

I won't argue with you on the subject of creativity, it is very creative. But the maggots as a whole have turned out some really classic graphic stuff over the years, and I hoped to tap into some of that creativity with this. I guess I was asking too much. :rolleyes:

[basom]

i think i'm going to print up all the shirts i can, and stickers. then i'll sell them all over the internet, and around town. i'll send glademasters enviornmental group a check for all the hundreds of dollars i'll make off of this genius concept and design. except i'll write: VOID, YOU CRACKER BITCHES on it. i'll send them a free tee shirt too.

[iceman]

If you put that shirt on cafepress I'll buy one.

[schuss]

I definitely want a shirt if you make one. Will "shinjuku motherfucker" become the new "change for a nickel"?

any chance for a black tee?

edit: wow, look at that texture on the puddle.

[basom]

i don't think cafepress offers black tees. i can do white.

kinda lame.

[iceman]

I hate to admit this, but google is no help. I have never done so many searches with "no result found". What is the origin of the angry whelk who spews bukkake death from above Shinjuku-style? I know the meaning of all the words, and I know he is large and angry and flies and spews bukkake death Shinjuku-style because of pollution and radiation, and I'm diggin' the whole thing, but where the fuck did it come from?

Tees are cool, base, can you do a non-"motherfucker" version so I can wear it around the house?

[basom]

iceman. please. your talking shit about doing homework.... all you have to do is read this thread. this is the genisis.

and i will make a sfih (safe for icemang's house) version, for sure. anyone want a mousepad?

[non grata]

Tees are cool, base, can you do a non-"motherfucker" version so I can wear it around the house?

"daddy, what's a 'bukkake?'"

Anything to do with "Demon City Shinjuku?" Some hot anime chiquitas in that one...

polution, electronics district, its all on the first page people. very straight forward.

That's fucking sweet. Nice work.

It's so extravagantly weird and cool that I figured it must have come from some Japanese cartoon or comic book or something.

[Tippster]

Why don't you just flat-out fucking say:

"Icemang - it was Roo's idea."

...and leave it at that? :D You two should go into business together. So Roo, do much Acid as a kid, or were you just dropped repeatedly into slightly glowing sewage by your Nanny who was taking out her own personal form of revenge on the bourgeoisie?

[Angry Whelk]

It's so extravagantly weird and cool that I figured it must have come from some Japanese cartoon or comic book or something.

i come from the sea, a deep and poluted cavern. This bad-roo, this basom; mearly discover what already exists. Now i have awake, now i make human pay with bukakke death. I come from above with warm puddle of spew, you no see me, and then you are drown.

Shinjuku, MOTHERFUCKER!

Something (his stony silence) tells me Glademaster isn't too enthused by this idea and is eagerly awaiting another idea to bail his no-doin'-yer-own-homework ass out...

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "I come from above with warm puddle of spew!" I looked, and there before me was an angry whelk! It was named Shinjuku, and Hades was following close behind him. It was given power over a fourth of the earth to destroy by Bukakke, and drown the wild beasts of the earth in its pud.

Hollow smoke the hole transmitting
her hair come out like red meat through uh screen door

her face was erect on a long thin neck
light rubber mountains in the distance stretched
under wind blown spider webs
the wind puffed out drank the blue sky
one milk cloud grazed
the sun sailed into black bag hung t' strap around
the girl bowed 'n rested against her cocked hip
a row of buttons ran up her like raisins
crisp collars folds made shadows under her loose breasts
feet orange rakes wiggled sand
the sea moved returned claimed one lace paper plate
like a frayed damp fish it spun 'n sank in a foaming circle
a sandwich corner flys in a gulls beak
she smiles her fingers skim into green beads
drip roll 'n line off her creased palm
clear salt diamonds sparkle on her nose
black horns shadows her cheeks
turn pink red pulp darts into speech
'n rests between glazed white
in a moment I say
the day caught me full hot open eyes swam blood graphs
cloth grated roughly damp where I set
black hair fur 'n wings rancid rainbows
hummed the half eatin' dead fish silver 'n pink brine
bubbled from the torn off fin
I searched for a stick
poked the bloated bulb one scale broke loose like uh husk
shaped like a fingernail blew away like paper
over my shoulder the sand made the highway crawl
black 'n wavy my car looked important
a fat person moved noisily by with two small children
on either hip disappeared down the beach as decorated genitals
under an umbrella rocks stuck my buttered body
I caught one under my nail 'n flicked it with my thumb
Pena said: "You look like a sugared strawberry."
we better get going before it gets cold 'n it makes us too hot
Pena danced like a wounded stork - held her foot up
screaming: "I have been bitten by something!"
I consoled her - you have been attacked by a coke cap
it's angry teeth prints fading
Pena exclaimed: "That's the raspberries."
uh banana like uh limp star drooped from her free hand
this situation pleased the old man
his face smiled leather laughter
the thermos opened - the inside of the car
tasted like a caramel you walked by
this is cold - this is too - somebody will see if we do something
about it - it's too day
you wanted to - it was your idea - it's damp 'n cold 'n noisy
at night though - cops might arrest us - who cares how we go
together but Jesus?
Pena your legs are pretty as uh crab the way they open
"Are like pincers" said Pena innocently
"Whales never come out of the water do they?" Pena tongued
if that happened it would be uh sticky situation - listen to
the ocean - I can't - all those little ears - ha ha pth pth zzzz
Pena exclaimed: "That's the raspberries!"
what more could you want than to be brought up?
the old fart's heart beat like uh drum
his mouth was dry 'n there was an angry whelk
throbbing from where he'd been poked earlier that day
while posing as a dead fish
one fly had crawled through the nostrils in his intricate
trout replica mask and had somehow got fouled-up in his
intricate air-bulb atomizer breathing device 'n it whistled
'n stank 'n tickled with every breath
one leg had been torn off where the tube went in his mouth
he could feel it hanging from his lip
'n the thought of it almost made him vomit
he was numb from the neck down
and was too exhausted at this point t' dig himself out of the sand
his whole scheme had been foiled
by the fog that gathered on the inside
of the detailed view holes
that even upon close inspection
appeared to be eyes

OLLi the ORMER




MYTH & LEGEND


by


A V J Brassell




Introduction

The Ormer (Haliotis Tuberculata) is considered by Guernsey people to be the Islands own Gastropod.Its name is derived from the French for "Sea Ear" which relates to the Gastropods shape. It is better known as one of the many species of Abalone to be found around the world.

The flesh of the ormer has been eaten in Guernsey, the northern most limit of the Gastropods range in Europe, since time immemorial and it has found a special place in Guernsey folklore.I remember being told as a child of the Giant Ormer of the Russell which if hit by a passing ship could cause it to founder. The Giant Ormer was alleged to be responsible for many of the mysterious sinkings off Guernsey’s east coast.

There were also the mysterious swimming Ormers of the west coast which trailed beautiful veils of delicate white and were known as the fairies of the sea.

But for me the talking Ormers of the south coast are the most evocative and real of all the many stories about our favourite gastropod and it is they that are the inspiration for "Olli the Ormer".

The Talking Ormers

It is said that many years ago when the Ormer was under extreme pressure from human hunters, a small colony at the bottom of the steepest cliffs on the South Coast of Guernsey, was led to safety by the first of the talking Ormers.

He has gone down in Ormer legend as "The Deliverer".

It was "The Deliverer" who taught the other Ormers to speak, enabling them to warn each other of approaching danger. It was also that hero who brought them out from under the rocks when all was clear, and taught the Ormers how to hold their heads high and enjoy life to the full.

Legend has it that the talking Ormers can still be found at the bottom of the South Coast cliffs but it is a foolish man who tries to climb down those cliffs to find them. So there Olli and his family live safe and happy carrying on the talking Ormer tradition.

When in his favourite rockpool Olli is surrounded by his family and friends.They include Red, the Jersey Ormer, a special friend washed ashore on a piece of driftwood after a very fierce South Easterly gale. There is also another friend called Barney, because of the large barnacle on his shell. We must not forget Molly, Olli’s mum, together with his many smaller brothers and sisters.

As well as the Ormers there are also a collection of creatures of many different shapes and sizes. Winkles, limpets and an angry whelk all cling to the sides of the rockpool. An old hermit crab scuttles across the bottom of the pool, while several shrimps feed amongst the green weed near the pools surface.

A few small fish hide in the shade at the bottom of the pool and occasionally a bigger fish gets trapped as the tide drops. These are special moments for the inhabitants of the pool as they get to meet travellers from the big sea. It can be dangerous however if the big fish turns out to be hungry.

Look out for stories about Olli and his friends on this site and when you visit Guernsey

Thank god there isn't an "angry winkle."

I need more Whelk in my life. Seriously.

[AKA]

i just wanted to add that gflademaster is the worst poster in the history of the internet.

[stump832]

I'm bumping a classic because I've got about 24 hours left in what has been a 3 week stay in Shinjuku for school/work. The worst part about the trip was wanting to yell Shinjuku Motherfuckers! every time we swiped our passmo at the JR line's turnstiles - sadly, no one would have gotten the reference.

This thread has gotten better with age.

[glademaster]

I don't think my apathetic HS environmental group ever did get around to making shirts, but wow, I just read through this thread for the first time in 9+ years. I feel it may have been my greatest contribution to TGR.

[systemoverblow'd]

I used to have mad Flash developer steeze. Angry Whelk the animated series on www.angrywhelk.com a possibility?

This thread is awesome. I will offer my decade late assistance in animating if anyone wants to put the time in for storyboarding and designing. That would be funny shit.

But I assume the funnies may be lost to spontaneity.

Why are all the whelk images broken?

Does anyone have them archived?

[nutmegchoi]

Tagging to help out mags with future issues.

Way back machine did not Hoover the thread until 2014.
Missed most of the pics.

It's a shame that most of that is gone. Well shit, I guess that is one of the first signs I'm getting older.

[ACH]

Awesome!
Was this thread the genesis of Angry Whelk?

[glademaster]

It sure was, although I can only take responsibility for the thread, somebody else concocted the Whelk. I'm a little disappointed I never tagged anything at my high school with a Whelk sticker, it certainly would have been a fitting tribute.

[Danno]

I've seen the whelk many times over the years, and Shinjuku Motherfucker! But had never read this thread until today.

Crazy how long ago this was, I was just a very occasional lurker I think, didn't sign up until a year later. There was a reference in the thread to Bush; this thread was started in his first term!!!

How about a giant whelk, maybe about the size of a dumpster, tearing through the streets of Tokyo killing screaming humans with its hideous trail of snot. As the people run into shot, they could be wearing special 'Earthshine' promotional hats, much like the paper hats they used to wear at Wendy's.

The whelk has to look seriously pissed though.


..........


That whelk looks like a rampaging maelstrom of hate, carving an apocalyptic swathe through the consumer electronics retailing district of Shinjuku, devastating the gross national product of Japan in a horrific scene of bukkake destruction. He embodies what I come to think of as the very essence of Earthshine.


Laurence Welk will rise again after the mollusk bukkake incident! mark my words basom, mark my words.


if you don't bring angry bukkake whelk up as a possibility to your school group i will be personaly insulted. do you realize how much time i put into this for you? Thats the last time i do you any favours, unless you put it on the list of options. thats all i;m asking. imho he is the perfect logo/spokesman for your cause, that is plain enough.

Basom. What the fuck happened to the whelk birth daddy?
I forgot he birthed the whelk. With some encouragement from Roo


Bad roo. Set a limit and timed himself out. Great discipline

Fuck this place made my cubicle years tolerable.

[old_newguy]

DONT FUCK WITH EARTHSHINE, CRACKERS!

Almost forgot how amazing this thread was.

[Rideski]

I posted a whelk image in the Ratflu thread and nobody commented.
I was a bit verklempt

[Core Shot]

Can we get whelk stickers reissued?

Change for a nickel is an odd callout.

I’d much rather hear someone say SHINJUKU MOTHERFUCKER! YOU ARE DROWN
