We finally found the photos from our United Trash of Sloravia event, that we organized in late june @ SubSub club. We had a design session that night and we made a giant vinyl sticker wallpaper that was applied live. Most of the photos were taken about a week afterwards.

Here are some photos from the event itself. Sadly, there are only a few.

After doing an illustration for an article in the June ‘09 issue of Computer Arts, we were asked to do THE COVER for the September issue. Quite a step up! The issue deals with printing techniques, so there are many special effects on the cover. The photograph doesn’t do justice to the real thing, but if you look closely you might notice: silver color, pink and yellow neon pantone colors, pink metallic foil, emboss on the hand, the hole where the hand reaches out is cut-out, the grid is printed with UV varnish … uf … I hope we didn’t bancrupt them! We also did the first spread of the magazine, where all the elements are in order, and then the hand scatters them across the cover. Majestic! Thanks to all the people @ CA, especially to Luke O’Neill and Jo Gulliver. It was great working with them. What’s next?

The Autumn ‘09 apparel collection has finally arrived. With a more radical concept, we decided to make full use of the generic fast-fashion mainstream and improve on their designs. We took blank, mostly black and white t-shirts and some other items of clothing and restyled them by using apparel vinyl stickers. All designs are precision machine cut, but hand applied (with a heat press) by who other than ourselves. So personally designed and manufactured by Aka Neon and MNCHRM, the only two people behind the Kitsch-Nitsch corporation! All apparel that you can buy in our shop is unique. Meaning, a particular item is available in one design and one size only. Once sold, we will not make another t-shirt in that design! You will be the only one in the world to own it. A promise and a continuing challenge to produce new and better designs.

In our long tradition, we chose a neon and pastel color palette, but we also extensively used metallic silver and golden elements, to add a little razze-dazzle. We chose some no-name brands, but mostly relied on H&M to be our first “supplier”. So please note: where the source of the t-shirt is listed as No-Name, please go here for the exact size chart. Where the source is listed as H&M, please go to your nearest H&M store and check the sizes there. If you really need to. Oh, also check out the effect neon colors have when exposed to UV light here.

Big thanks to the models: Monika, Tea, David & Petra, make-up artist: Lara Oven and the photographer: Nika Živec.

The Neon Dada series of t-shirts from the new collection.

Well, we also gave some away. But a big thanks is due to all who bought the t-shirts from our first apparel collection. Wear them with pride & continue spreading the word! For all who missed them: judging from the general spirit of times, a revival should be do in a couple of months. Ha!
