We get a lot of bad advice in the form of platitudes, slogans, and cliches.

This is a collaboration to remix popular phrases with which you disagree into a form of reverse propaganda.

TO CLARIFY: TAKE A COMMON PHRASE YOU THINK IS BAD ADVICE, AND REMIX IT TO BE GOOD ADVICE. (not the reverse)

AND, it's important that the remix makes a clear reference to the original phrase, otherwise it won't really make sense.

All or Nothing --> All or Something

Miss USA --> Miss Representation

Out of Many, One --> Out of One, Many

Let's get text records in the form above, and then let's get graphic artists to remix them into propaganda-style posters.

(p.s. As a personal favor to me, let's try to avoid the badly over-used "Keep Calm & Carry On" meme here :)

Contribute all your live records from the hitRECord At The Movies Sundance 2012 show here!

So, as Joe mentioned in the video below, we're releasing our first actual record record — 7" Vinyl!

I've got some pretty cool cover art coming along based on a sort of punk-type-collage of low-fi hand-drawings of different scenes and hitRECord characters.

The last piece I need is a wicked rock and roll drawing of Joe, so illustrators, please contribute!

I'm looking for a sort of hard-line pen & ink type thing (as opposed to a carefully rendered and shaded charcoal or painting or similar aesthetic) to fit in with the rest of the art.

Thanks!

Submit your art and ideas for the Record Store Spring Collection here!

For shirt designs, as mentioned in the video, we're looking for bold, graphic, or iconic designs without hard rectangle edges. Keep in mind that these are reproduced with a set number of colors (2-4) so full-color photographs aren't ideal.

For each shirt design we want two things:

1) A mock-up of the design on a shirt (to show placement, size, and shirt color)

2) High-quality design on its own (ideally as vector art)

I've made a zipped Photoshop template at this size with a safety box and front & back previews of shirt colors. Note: you can make new shirt colors by duplicating the white shirt and adding a color overlay layer style that uses the "linear burn" blending mode.

(Also note: the previews will look better & more realistic if you set your artwork to "linear burn" or another similar blending mode. This makes it look like it's actually printed on the shirt instead of laid over it.)

We are going to make a small "book" of tiny stories to hand out at the Summer In The City shows coming up. It will just be a small pamphlet, sorta like the MMM Introdictionary Sarah and I and other illustrators made for our SxSW shows ( http://hitrecord.org/records/64206 ). I think it'd be great if each story filled a double-page spread, with the story handwritten on the left and an illustration on the right page. We'll probably have room for only about 10 stories in this small version (but it will be a good first draft for eventually making the real Big Book of Tiny Stories). Anyway, I thought it'd be great if we could start handwriting out some of the best tiny stories – if you have great or interesting handwriting please find your favorite story and write it out and scan it. Or you could also raid aszarkowski's typography collaboration and cut and paste other people's letters to write it out ( http://hitrecord.org/records/90377 ) And, although we already have many beautiful drawings from filmpunk's Big Book collab ( http://hitrecord.org/records/91748 ) and wirrow's original Tiny Stories collab ( http://hitrecord.org/records/56986 ), if you're an illustrator and you have a favorite Tiny Story that hasn't yet been drawn – feel free to submit that too. (oh, also, for the selection process it'd be great if people wanted to make albums of there favorite tiny stores that aren't audio or video... the ones that will work well in a small book) :)
