'Che with words', by dmandpenfold on May 24, 2007 15:16:13 GMT 1, Is that all your handwriting? Must've taken a while i'm getting writers cramp looking at it.
Looks good though, print run could be a good idea it is a different spin on the che theme
Not sure if i prefer typeface or handwritten though

Do a print of the hand written rather than the typed, would be better I reckon.

'Che with words', by CR on May 24, 2007 15:21:28 GMT 1, handwritten one wouldn't be ยฃ25, took way to much and couldn't really do a print run of 30 of them! Sorry 
will let you all see the print though.

CBL sounds like he has a plan that might help..

In Cuba every person is required to take courses focused specifically on Che.

'Che with words', by CR on May 24, 2007 18:29:22 GMT 1, thanks guys.
I am looking into creating a handwritten print with the help of CBL, so big shout to him!
In the meantime thanks to everyone who has pm'd me about buying one of the prints, I will try and post a pic of the proof tomorrow if it comes and will probably still do an edition of 30 of the typed ones.

'Che with words', by CR on May 25, 2007 15:01:07 GMT 1, got the proof back but the printer has only gone and discontinued the paper - looking into doing it onto water colour paper, waiting for a quote.
will post pictures soon, just waiting for the paint to dry

'Che with words', by jboy on May 27, 2007 1:01:29 GMT 1, I hope your doing that on professional software like illustrator and not using something like word. That would take about 2 minutes on illustrator, just do an overlay. Like this...
ยฃ25 please.
well done though - im not complaining.

The thing is you didn't come up with the concept, and your background words "I can't believe you morons buy this shit" repeated over and over also doesn't compare, likewise your choice of image.
It's always easier and quicker to copy art than come up with something original.
