Hello everyone,
This post picks up where `HPE back in fine fettle´ left off.
This design had been with me for sometime in various permutations. Both in my mind and in sketchbooks. Despite it being rather late in the year I felt compelled to make it. I'd not been able to attend any of the events held this year and somehow this also motivated me to produce it, I'm not sure why.
I was out of work so had time to realise it. I wanted the Design to reference the era that the Beta was born and produced in and so the elements and style reference those decades, as well as making a nod to it´s past ( the ´Lancia Cavalleria´ ) I wanted it to be retrospective but also look modern. The Beta was and still is 😉 a very stylish, vehicle, well ahead of its time when it was launched, and as such I wanted the Design to ´feel´ like that, to be dynamic and to have 'movement'
It was labour of love, I thoroughly enjoyed designing it. And it´s nice to know that it´s appreciated by others.
Here are some shots of some shirts that I've had printed so far, I've printed it on White and in a Very light grey. and the printer was kind enough to trial the Design also on a Tote bag.
I'm seeing the printer today to get some more details about production costs and so on and I´ll need to have a think about distribution also, so I´ll know more soon.
If you ´are´ interested send me a Personal message or better an email ( found on my profile ) and then I'll have an idea of how many I need to make, I can then get back to you with a price and size guide etc.
and if it all seems feasible, then we'll make a plan.
All the best for now,
Kindest Regards Andrew
