Liberal Conspiracy has pointed out that Amused Cynicism has tried to have its own version (a different one than mine to clear up any confusion) of an Olympics T Shirt printed at an online clothing retailer.
However, the retailer has, unsurprisingly, taken it down.
update I did post a comment on Liberal Conspiracy some time ago but, considering there have been subsequent comments, it seems that LC has either decided not to post it or (because it had two links in it) maybe an anti-spam bot chucked it out.
I’ve dealt with several online retailers and knew the design would be deleted if I tried to have my own design (below) printed.
That’s why I produced an extremely large version for anyone who wanted to take the file along to a high street retailer and have it printed on their own shirt.
However, if anyone can have several printed and make no profit whatsoever from it, I’d be happy with that.

Here’s a link to several different versions of the image, plus the T Shirt file.

and here’s where I first posted it one year ago.

Please note that the comment I make in the first post is about a notorious commercial clothing retailer and nothing to do with AC’s shirt.

If you were to visit Amused Cynicism, you will see that our designs are pretty similar.
Not a surprise really. The Tank Man image is so iconic, that it was bound to crop up a few times in Beijing Olympics images.
It wouldn’t surprise me if there is a similar image out there somewhere that predates my 2007 picture. I saw one a while ago (a few months after I devised mine - ooooh defensive!) and think that it was produced this year.
update I’ve had a look around the web and found the source of the version I saw recently and it was created in 2006!.
It’s on a Taiwanese site, so full credit to them for being first off the mark.

Update :
The new Channel 4 News pseudo-animation is now live HERE.

Another T-shirt.
As someone who is pre-occupied with certain numbers, the order in which I complete tasks and who frequently takes up to half an hour to leave the flat after triple (and more) checking the most ridiculous things, I thought I might allow the general public to share at least one of my anxieties.

Sealed vinyl/light textured print on various colour shirts. No mark-up for a little while and all the good delivery stuff that I mentioned in my earlier post.

edit - the design has passed the ridiculously strict guidelines and mine is on its way.
As the years progress, my golden locks of hair are fast dissappearing, meaning I can save money by giving the hairdresser a miss and either trimming my remaining follicles down to the wood or, if feeling energetic, go for a run when my hair literally becomes fly-away. Sometimes a bloke in the pub may do me a favour and just blow on my head and make a wish, although picking hair from the top of my pint becomes a bit of a pain.
To celebrate being able to pick up Sky News and digital radio using just my head as an aerial, I’ve produced a T-Shirt which, if so inclined, you may wish to purchase for yourself, maybe a past leader of The Conservative Party (and soon the present one) or perhaps a previous Scottish hard-man-of-many-job-titles Labour Party enforcer.

I’m taking no commission for a week or so but will add a couple of quid soon.
The shirt is printed using a flock print which is incredibly robust - NOT transfer printing.
Delivery is usually withing one working week (for me in London anyway) but I’ve had deliveries much quicker.
If you buy one or two shirts, these can usually make it through the letterbox with no problem, so no waiting in for a delivery.

There are various colours and quality of shirts to choose from, some under a tenner (exc. delivery).

Update :
I’ve noticed a clothing retailer visiting here. It would be very unfortunate if anyone tried to make money out of this - I’m not and am not intending to either.
I”d hope for a strong response from many sites if someone tried to make money out of the issue.
I have tweaked the image slightly and created a larger version for those who have asked for an image they can put on a T shirt. Click on the image for the large version.

I’ve also removed my tag from the large version - it distracts from the piece.

First posted (including smog version) here.

The print is done by the vastly superior flock method.
Delivery is fast and packages get through the letterbox, so no waiting in.
There is a range of differently priced shirts - I make one quid on a shirt.
