THE DESIGNERS REPUBLIC - (D)SINE'MZ(R).000.0013284

The Lies! - "Uh...Oh! I lurv my Designers Republic! Yeah... What is it? Long tails and ears for hats (it ain't illegal yet!)... here comes Popped Art Cartoon Consumer Terrorism and Department Store Cathedrals... here comes Safe-Sex Supermarket-Somas and Bad Ass Piracy on the Hi-Tech. DR Auto Martyrs on the Wheels of Steel City: Say it Loud or "Sanyo(tm)" Go! Dynamo Designers Republic - The Clash of the Bulletproof Icon-titans. Watch the Skies... here comes Space Man(tm), here comes Vampire Man(tm), here comes Jon & Dee The Twins(tm) and here comes Sissy(tm)! The Designers Republic: a new and used Taste of Paradise, The B'stard Ventolin(tm) Kids (we're carrying for Instant Relief) celebrate the Golden Age of Plunder: computer age piracy where nothing's new under the sun. Big Fun Bang Boom Designer Bubble or Burst... It's not theft: it's the desire to speak the language of logos a-go-go, mutated multi-national heiroglyphics speaking a global slang for the common man. It's the glory of graphic readymades, corporations reduced to pixels; the chaos of the computer malfunction and the ghosts in the machine. The chips that free us from the need to be free. A bladerunning newspeak of slogans from "fast history rewinding into the future" to "Design or Die!" It's the religion of Popped Art American Expressionism, the consumerist mantras of the repeated image and the philosophy of more is more! All it takes is two hundred and twenty-nine million, nine hundred and ten thousand and four hundred seconds. Let us Design Your World!"

N-STUDIOS - SYNDICATE 2

N-Studios was formed over a year and a half ago as primarily a publishing house for various comic book titles both in-house and freelance. Since then we have found ourselves diversifying into other areas.

As well as storyboarding several short films and features, such as the recently released When Saturday Comes, we also set up a sub division that deals with graphic design.

This inclusion of staff has allowed for studio proliferation and enables us to amalgamate the two divisions to produce commissioned pieces for album sleeves, promo posters, club flyers, advertising etc.

We are currently soliciting three new additions to the comic book stable which will hopefully fund new and up coming projects, not to mention our filthy crack habits - cough, cough, splutter.
