About Me

The T-Shop is based in Nicosia, Cyprus and was created in August 2006 because our crew needed some cool t-shirts to wear and we just couldn't find em around! So we've travelled here and there, and we'll be continuing to look out for designs that really stand out, but our little shop is more about promoting your ideas. Our crew works with the old-fashioned silkscreeners in Cyprus and is intent on filling the island with unique one-off designs that come from you! Keep checking out our blog for updates on what we're up to because when you get a bunch of hyped up 20 somethings and give them a project - there really is no end to the craziness...

My Interests

Shock art, body modification, street art and performance, local bands & artists, contemporary prose, stop-motion animation, evolution, social isolation, family-related violence, contemporary dance and experimental theatre, street fashion & alternative lifestyles, middle eastern history, european politics, warcrimes and the ever baffling Garfield - Pooky relationship

I'd like to meet:

The T-Shop offers consultancy and support to victims of sexual and physical abuse with the help of the Cyprus Family Protection program. Our shop has also begun a collaboration with the Cyprus AIDS Foundation and is looking for active youngsters who really want to help!Other then that our crew is always willing to meet new people - whoever you may be, as long as you're youself. We're especially interested in local talents, musicians, bands and artists of any kind as one of our objectives upon opening this place is to create the necessary support and inspiration for those who simply need to get it out!

Music:

Anything and everything from Elton John and John Lennon to Moonspell and Savatage. Local bands I love include Johnny and the Liars (watch em perform), Armageddon (loyal respect), Blynd (apanayiamou), Krokes (always a good time), Spoko (hats off for nuttiness), Winters Verge (rippin' vocals)Band's I profess a new a found adoration for: Mudvayne, Sero, Blue October, Trivium and Bloodsimple. Band's I forgot about and am now listening to obsessively: Kamelot, old Ministry, Rage against the Machine.A bit embarassed to say I actually enjoyed a SUM 21 song the other day... I even downloaded it! It's called We are all To Blame. Nice...Chris has yet again kept himself busy for a few months with YET ANOTHER PROJECT! This time he's hooked up with Stephan Metzner and created funky, breezy kinda tunes. I'm gonna have to agree with Chris and say "Second Best" is actually my favourite at the moment. Check em out at www.myspace.com/fbnight!

Movies:

The Godfather (trilogy), Normal, Irreversible, Secretary, Saw (trilogy), Blue Velvet, Requiem for a Dream, Bronx Tale, Forrest Gump, The Shining, Jerry Maguire, The Emperor's New Groove.

Television:

no not really... enjoy the advertising though heh...Really enjoyed spending a week watching the latest "Prison Break" series. I think it's managed to phase out the whole "Lost" phenomenon - with an even better script. Thing is I can no longer find torrents for series 3!!! Supposedly it's out today (17.09) - let me know if you've seen it hiding around some place.I'm embarrassed to admit I did not watch The Simpsons at the movies like I should have had, but rather nicked my brother's ripped version on cd. The quality was a bit crappy but it's still become a favourite - and "SpiderPig" is bound to top the charts sooner or later... Check it out if you've missed it!

Books:

Generally: Alice in Wonderland & the BibleAt the moment: Just finished Palashnuck's "Diary" and it is FANTASTIC. At the moment I'm a bit engrossed in A.J. Jacobs "The Know-It-All" - Kind of an autobiographical account of his mission to read all volumed of Britannica Encyclopedia. Hillarious.

Heroes:

Ghandi & Spiderman. Seriously.
You Are Lightning
Beautiful yet dangerous
People will stop and watch you when you appear
Even though you're capable of random violence

You are best known for: your power

Your dominant state: performing What Type of Weather Are You?
