For those fans, who have closely followed EYMER DESIGN during our past 23 years–you may remember a couple of our product-related, sub-brands. Probably the best-known, was EYMERGEDDON, which featured a line if flaming skull designs, featured polo shirts, headbands, flip-flops shirts and web belts.
As a precursor to EYMERGEDDON, we built a division called “Surfaces.”
During some recent deep spring cleaning in our design archives, we unearthed a series of t-shirt prototypes, designed and marketed under the Surfaces brand.
Please keep in mind, that we were in the pre-new-millennium years (1997-ish), and we were eager to get a jump on the upcoming millennial festivities. We also felt that it was our responsibility to remind all date-challenged earthlings, that the new millennium did not, in fact, start on January 1 of the year 2000 (as rumored)–but a year later–01.01.01. These were very confusing times.
Other favorites included a series of T’s that brought light to the fact that many different foods, including snake–also taste like chicken.
One of my favorites, was a set of shirts that dealt with foods that our moms made us eat–lima beans, Jell-O salad, and worst of all, liver.
To round off my presentation, I've also included a couple of singles– “time flies” and “eat more carbon paper.”
Enjoy—Doug.
