THE STORY OF ICARUS
Icarus was the son of the inventor Daedalus and a slave named Naucrate. King Minos of Crete imprisoned Daedalus and Icarus in the Labyrinth to punish Daedalus for helping the hero Theseus to kill the monster called the Minotaur and to escape with Minos' daughter, Ariadne. Daedalus knew that Minos controlled any escape routes by land or sea, but Minos could not prevent an escape by flight. So Daedalus used his skills to build wings for himself and Icarus. He used wax and string to fasten feathers to reeds of varying lengths to imitate the curves of birds' wings.
When their wings were ready, Daedalus warned Icarus to fly at medium altitude. If he flew too high, the sun could melt the wax of his wings, and the sea could dampen the feathers if he flew too low.
Once they had escaped Crete, Icarus became exhilarated by flight. Ignoring his father's warning, he flew higher and higher. The sun melted the wax holding his wings together, and the boy fell into the water and drowned. Daedalus looked down to see feathers floating in the waves, and realized what had happened. He buried his son on an island which would be called Icaria, and the sea into which Icarus had fallen would ever after be called the Icarian Sea (between the Cyclades and Asia Minor).

Still Action
This is a theory we developed as we analyzed the tshirt and clothing industry. Very few are really artistic and/or interesting. And the few that are, are either too expensive or too "underground" which means most of you havent had the pleasures of seeing or hearing of them yet. Well, as we have noticed, there is this emptyness to clothing, this lack of a moving force literally and figuratively. So then our theory came into play. Still Action, it's where the design itself is literally STILL yet there is an ever present ACTION occuring in the artwork. There is this constant motion be it inward or outward. It is something you cant keep your eyes off of. Something you tell your other friends about. Something that is intensely aesthetically
pleasing.
So thus we coined a slogan...
"You move it, it moves you." ...icarus
