Kristin Hersh, handwriting lyrics especially for ElRat Designs, London, April 2024

Custom One-of-a-Kind "Throwing Muses font" handwritten by Kristin Hersh 2024

 

The First Ever Custom Lyric Shirt Event

On April 27th 2024, an idea that had been sitting in my head for many years (Just for myself, since I never envisaged that I would be making Hersh shirts for other people (In truth, its a tattoo I wanted, but I still don't have it, because in all the kerfuffle I didn't ask for a single thing for myself😆 Maybe next time...🖤)), finally came into being.

So ElRat Designs took orders for, the "Throwing Muses font" ONE OFF LYRIC TEE handwritten by Kristin Hersh

This was, the lyric of your choice, handwritten by the one Kristin Hersh on an A4 sheet with a sharpie. Then you got that signed sheet, plus a custom one of a kind t-shirt. That I helped you design. Giving you as much, or as little input into the final shirt as you wanted.

We will likely be doing this again, so for anyone who doesn't know. This is how it worked...

How It Worked

  1. Choose your Lyric
  2. Choose your shirt & print colour (I will check this with you before I print if you're not sure right now)
  3. Write these in the note at the checkout
  4. Hersh will hand write your lyrics, & Sign
  5. I will print it to the shirt of your choice
  6. You get the ONE OFF shirt, plus the original signed handwritten lyric

Your shirt can be anything, it doesn't have to be all the lyrics, or the handwritten version. There is a lot of scope to get things exactly how you want. So, keep an eye out for that next time The One Hersh is over here

Here are some of the shirts we did in the first ever "TM Font lyric shirt" event. Apologies for the poor quality photos, I was really stressed doing all of these, and didn't really consider that I should have done a better job of photographing it.😆🖤

baby baby, your new adventure will be mind blowing, screen

I hope you find your way home, Danish
catch a bullet in your head
foxpoint, mind blowing
pinned by a dream state
i'm not loving, i'm not hating
blue ink and screen
your big face, is such a shrine
lonely is as lonely does, lonely is an eyesore
Krait, we're free as algae
like an old man in a dress
vickys box
keep an eye on me i shimmer on horizons
i'm wiped, i'm so tired
lonely is as lonely does
this is chaos, and it stings
vicky's box
our fantasies are unlived histories
keep your lazy eye in line
i need to go to bed, i need to go to sleep
follow the road follow the snake

Thank you to everyone who made this a reality, you were all amazing!
