Hey Guys,

I was just searching for a new ebmm t-shirt when I found this ad from 1971:

Nice to know the ebmm tattoo covering my chest is called the "Flunky Eagle"

"Flunky Eagle"

Now, would you have wanted it any other way?

I really love the older catalogs, ads, shirts, other promo materials. I have a bad habit of buying that type of stuff up on eBay.

I love the artist, Robert Crumb. Alot of his work is a little risque, featuring large, muscular women he calls "Amazons".
Here's a self-portrait:

That would look cool on the back on a t-shirt.

If you like that pic, Glenn, you should do a search for some of his other work. By the way, I believe he ended up marrying an amazon-sized woman...

Love Robert Crumb.
Yo Brian, lets see that tat again! Ha

Tollie, no man the EBMM ad, that would look really cool on the back of a t-shirt.

That is a cool idea, Glenn: run with that one ebmm marketing people!


As a very sad note, my tattoo artist died last month at the age of 45. His nickname was "Fatty" and he died of a heart attack. He is the only artist who tattooed me (72 hours of pain) and he was a dear friend. The eagle never got any color or a slogan. I'd been meaning to get in there, but...

wow - 1971 was the year Smoke On The Water came out. So that´s pretty vintage!
