Boundless t-shirt info

Im sure some of you already knew this, but this was new information for me which I thought was pretty cool. I found this just browsing around. I thought it was interesting because I just bought the shirt, and even though I knew it was from the early 90's, i really dint know anything about the design.

The Boundless shirt (above left/right) is from early/mid 1993. It was also produced in white with black print. The drawing and hand-lettering is by Jeff Ament. “Marriage of the elusive ones” refers to one of Jeff’s favorite Rumi poems, “Elusive Ones.” Remember, Rumi is the ancient middle-eastern poet that partially inspired Jeff’s band Three Fish. Jeff even recites this poem on the first (eponymous) Three Fish album. The drawing is of a pantsless man weighing an encircled question mark in one hand and an encircled exclamation point in the other. The question mark bubble reads: “good, black, sugar, water, you, sun, death, vertical, boy, boundless”. The exclamation point bubble reads: “evil, white, milk, oil, me, moon, life, horizontal, girl and slave”. The pantsless man also resembles a self-portrait Jeff did for an American Music Club fan newsletter around the same time.

    Still got my original from the 93' Toronto CNE show. A little faded but in otherwise good shape. It finds it's way into the t-shirt rotation once in a while. Also still got my "Window Pain" shirt from that show as well.

    Jeff's quite the artist, eh?

    Don't forget we owe our stickman to him as well :)

    thanks for posting. Was wondering about that shirt. Even though I've never seen it before it looked liked an old design (it just has that look). That being said I don't care for the design overall. Most of the time I love his ideas/concepts/drawings...but sometimes he can get a little fruity. Like that Tone lp cover. oh sht yeah stickman = classic
