OH HAI THERE!

I’m off to New York on Tuesday… I’m so freakin excited! NYC has been number 1 on my list-of-places-to-visit-before-I-die for YEARS, and I’m finally going :D

Boy would it suck if I was to die on the journey there. Hopefully that won’t happen though :P

oh my golly gosh, i’m actually going to be here ^^ in a couple of days

There’s so many things I want to do while I’m there… I want to see Times Square, go to Central Park, see the Statue of Liberty, eat a pretzel, meet up with Liane, etc etc. Jazza and I made a list of the things we want to do, and I honestly don’t think a week is going to be long enough to do it all… there are just too many awesome things to do there ^_^

I think it would be really cool to keep a video diary while I’m there, or maybe just try to remember to film lots of clips while I’m out and about so I can make a mash-up video when I get back to the UK. So yes, fingers crossed I actually do that. I really do want to try and document the trip somehow.

Talking of “documenting” my life, I’ve started making some private videos on youtube lately. I got the idea from Joe. He makes private videos every now and then which nobody gets to see - they’re just little personal diaries that he keeps for himself to look back on in years to come. I thought it was a cool idea, so I’ve started doing the same thing. Also, I’ve lost all motivation and have been lacking any inspiration to make new youtube videos lately. It’s been over a month since I posted anything on JohnnyDurham19, and I hate when I go this long without making one. I’m pretty sure everyone will just forget about me if I don’t post something soon xD. So by making these private videos for myself, I’m hoping I’ll get back into the swing of making videos and will be inspired to make a decent video worth posting on JD19 :)

In other news, I mentioned recently that I had 3 new t-shirt designs on the way for Johnny Durham Clothing, and they should be ready to go on sale by the end of the month (once I get back from NY).

2 of the new designs will be limited editions… only 100 of each will be made, which is the smallest run I’ve ever done of a single design, so hopefully people will like how limited and special they are :)

Also, I’m using these small batches to try out new things to make the products EVEN BETTER than the existing t-shirts I have on sale. Firstly, all three of the new designs will have a little Johnny Durham logo on the back of the t-shirts (at the top, on the back-neck area). Secondly, although Gildan make really great t-shirts, I thought it would be cool to upgrade and get the designs printed onto American Apparel and/or Continental tees. Both of these brands are the leaders in the world of t-shirts so I’m really excited about teaming up with them for these new designs :)

The main thing I like about the Continental tees (besides the great fitting of the t-shirt) is that the label in the collar is tiny, and only states the size of the t-shirt. There’s no Continental logo on it at all. So instead of it being my design printed on some other company’s t-shirt, it’s like the whole t-shirt becomes my own (until someone buys it from the store and then it obviously becomes theirs :P)

The main thing I like about the American Apparel tees is that it’s freakin American Apparel! Retail stores sell blank AA tees for £13 in the UK, and I’ll be selling them, with my own design on for around the same price… awesome, right?! :D

Here are the 2 limited edition tees:

DEAD BLOB TEE

- Limited Edition of 100
- Grass Green unisex American Apparel t-shirt
- Sizes from XS to XL

How did the blob die?! Who knows?!
Perhaps a piano dropped out of the sky, killing him instantly.
Maybe he fell out of a fifth storey window.
Did an ice cream van run him over?! =O
We’ll never know.
Feel free to make up your own reason for how he died though ;)

SMILE TEE

- Limited Edition of 100
- Black unisex Continental t-shirt
- Sizes from S to XL

One thing I’ve noticed from wearing my “I LIKE GIRAFFES” and my “MEAT SUCKS” t-shirts is that whenever you have bold writing on the front of your t-shirt, almost everyone you walk past in the street will discreetly (or sometimes obviously) read what it says… and it’s fun seeing their reactions to it!

Now, with this design, the writing on the t-shirt actually speaks to those people who are randomly passing you by in the street. Will they smile at you, or just give you a look of confusion? If you get your hands on one of these limited 100 tees then let me know :P

The final design isn’t going to be limited, because I personally love it too much to only make a certain amount of them xD. It’s super geeky. I’m hoping people will still like it though ^_^

RSS feed tee

- Orange unisex Continental t-shirt
- Sizes from S to XL

(Thought I’d show you the front/back mockup for this one, so you can see what the Johnny Durham label will look like… sorry it’s so small and a bit blurry)

Oh, and I’m busy trying to organise a very exciting free prize to giveaway with a few of these RSS t-shirts, which I’ll talk about nearer the time of the launch… but yes, IT’S VERY EXCITING! :D

Sorry for the marathon blog post! If you read all of this then I love you dearly! <3

NEW YORK HERE I COME!

Johnny <3

Awk, i’m super happy you’re getting to go to NY. I would love to go to america in general but have never had the oppertunity :( maybe sometime :)

Moving OBVS went well if you’re online atm. Did you get the flat you wanted on the river? when am i coming to visit? lol

it’s sloghtly saddening that you haven’t made a video for JD19, but i’m glad you’re still blogging :) and anyway, you seem to be SUPER busy atm anyway; what with Helsinki, moving, BBC, Joe, London, NY. I think you could be excused :P

I love the blob tshirt XD and it’s going to be in XS woop woop :) AND limited edition XD i do love limited edition tshirts :) they make me happy :D
Is there going to be new badges or business cards or anything?

i write too much in these :S lol. OH WELL

Have fun in NY :) don’t die on the plane, coz then i won’t get my new tshirts!

=oh look the link changed from twitter to youtube :P i’m going to shut up now]

Longest comment ever, i think so!

oh. i was walking through Belfast today wearing my rawr! tshirt and i heard someone reading it :P it is quite funny

anyway, i’m going to bed now! nighttttttt

I really do hope that everything in NY is as amazing as it sounds because that by itself is pretty damn awesome.
Also, I for one don’t think people will forget you on youtube if you take a break, I think that a wait then good videos is better than constant mediocre ones. (Not that you’d ever be less than great I’m just trying to express the sentiment!)
I’m thinking that RSS feed t-shirt is on my “to remember to buy” list now.
:)

you’re getting really good at your t-shirt designs !!(:

I love the smile t-shirt, but I’m going on holiday and won’t be back with internet until the 30th, so when are they going on sale? I’ll be gutted if I miss them. =[ <3

I wore the “I LIKE GIRAFFES” t-shirt to an airport once…it was great watching everyone try and read it as I walked by!

i love your excitement for NYC. i’ve been there plenty times and the city still amazes me. (i live on Long Island)
I WANT THE BLACK SHIRT!
oh my golly gosh.
have you never been to NYC? does that mean that someone sent you the I <3 NY ball? i thought you’ve been there before..
i could never forget about you..in face, i just commented on your channel. ^_^
do you think you could tell us what DAY it comes out? because even though i don’t really NEED a new shirt, i can’t help myself. and if it’s a weekday, i could take off and just sit at the computer to make sure i get one. =D
<3

You would not ever be forgotten, J, even if the night took over your body and threw you towards the skies and made stars not visible from earth of you.

*cough* Okay, I might be exaggerating a bit here, but I really do believe people would remember your face despite a couple of months of absence :’)

I love the t-shirts! It would have been hilarious if the RSS-shirt had said “Feed me”, but I really like “stalk me” as well.

And oh, how I would love to go to New York! I wish you a most pleasant trip.

- Joe

uuhhh, new yoork!! I hope you’ll enjoy your trip to the us.
And I loooove your smile t-shirt :) *wants preorder*

no jokes but i am SO gonna wear the smile t-shirt everyday! it just sums up my life…its how i meet random people at gigs, they comment on my tshirts :D

you johnny are fricking awesome!!!!

loves <3

Woooo, NEW YORK! I was there just a month ago on a college art department trip.. best trip EVERRRR, ha! We weren’t there for long, but I did so much stuff…

Make sure you go to the top of the Empire State Building… EPIC view!!

I filmed bits of it, need to edit it at some point!

Oooh, and I know what you mean with the big writing on t-shirts thing! I have a super cool Ghostbusters “Who ya gonna call?” shirt, and I can always see people looking at it as I walk by… it makes me smile.. =D

If you can, go and see Phantom Of The Opera on broadway. You won’t regret it, it’s brilliant.

yay! xs t-shirts!i’d love it if you keep making more of them, even the smalls are too big for me :(

have fun in ny!

Hey,
Stumbled across your blog a while ago and I love it and its pro-veg cuteness. Have fun in the colonies. If you have time you should totally take a side trip to Toronto – we are much more fun than our neighbours to the South

I am so glad that the Stalk me shirt ins’t limited edition, I really really want it, and I don’t think I will be able to afford it when you first post them. Do the new t-shirts mean a new pack of buttons?

JOHNNY JOHNNY JOHNNY! How much do I freakin’ adore you? I’m so happy that you’re going to see New York! From your tweets it sounds like you’re having a lovely time. After seeing your Helsinki video, I’ve been inspired to make my own travel log series which I will put on by the end of summer. I am in love with your T-shirts! American Apparel is my favourite!!!

Hey Johnny!

I got one of the limited shirts, it arrived yesterday ^___^!
I also got the little blue monster badge it’s sososo cute ^__^!
xxx

Soo wish i could have one of those t-shirts, they look amazing !

And, YouTube will never forget you, even if you don’t feel like you can make videos anymore !

so I got one of the smile t-shirts… number 22… a guy at a fuel station had the best reaction… he was standing behind the counter and while I was in line I caught him looking at me but did not know why and then when I realized he was reading my shirt I looked him in the eye and he jumped, pretending he wasent reading it, lol… and then smiled at me, lol. And at the airport (same day) I caught many people trying to read it… also Johnny why are you so adorable? lol, good day sir.
