Murdoch had a store on viralstyle, I figured if I made one there it'd be as safe as his was. I've put together a few items from hi-res original art that Murdoch made (and one that's good, but may not be his). A couple of them used to be on merch in his own store.
Be aware that you have to give an email address to order, and that I'll be able to see it(!). I'm not interested in doxxing people etc, but, just so you know. Yahoo.com and protonmail.com will let you make free throwaway email addresses. (I don't see eg credit card info.)
Here are the kinds of merch you can make (posters and clocks are under 'decor'), ask, and I'll set up one of that type for you.
Everything is as close to cost as I can make it (2023-11-11 sales + profit)(*), the merch doesn't support the Murdochs, or the website (the small profit there is because Viralstyle sometimes temporarily reduces the cost of some items, to me; when I try to set the price to that reduced cost, it won't let me, presumably because after the internal 'sale' ends, ViralStyle would be selling them at a loss).
ViralStyle only ships your merch at the end of the 'campaign' - ie, that: '3 days left!' (those always just reset, there's no reason to hurry to buy). They charge $5 - $6 per piece for shipping, in the USA. Viralstyle says:
Orders shipped to addresses within the U.S. or Canada will arrive 5-10 days after the campaign ends. Orders shipped outside the U.S. or Canada will arrive 7-21 days after the campaign ends.
Pieces of art used:
- Chase the Sun
- Sacred Clown Mourning Ebba
- Always the Horizon cover
- Border Runners trio
- Hitler Youth trio
- Wanderer's Choice group
- 'Van Gogh'-style trio, the picture Murdoch looks at during 3 Meme War episodes (except, the top of the mountain is cut off :( ).
- Against All Odds
- Chan, Gundam Pilot.
- Murdoch and Chan holding up the life / being rune. This I think may be original because of its quality, and because I'm pretty sure it came before Murdoch used the rune in 'Guardian'. Also, I first saw it on a twitter account, 'The Last Son of the West', which name Murdoch has used for himself before (in 'Hwite Knights'). Either way, it's a nice piece so it's there. 'Canadian Sneed' kindly translated the inscription above the two, you can use a 'virtual rune keyboard' (they are Elder Futhark), then put the result through a translator, eg translate.google.com. He got, 'Rootless trees die', I read the runes as: ᚹᚢᚱᛖᛚᛚᛟᛊᛗ ᛒᚨᛖᚢᛗᛖ ᛁᛗᛗᛖᚱ ᚠᚨᛚᛚᛖᚾ . Entered here: https://valhyr.com/pages/rune-translator, it comes out: "wurellosm baeume immer fallen". I stuck that into translate.google.com, 'detect language', and it comes out as German (as the closest), "Rootless trees always fall". It suggests corrections, though, so it's some other Germanic language, and who knows, maybe an old one. Good enough for me - very nice! My thanks again to 'Canadian Sneed'.
- Clean vector art from, respectively, the armband and another lightning bolt, and the 'Murdoch Murdoch' logo, thanks, respectively, to 'Salem', and 'Manga Anon'.
All the original MM art I have, (raw directory)
A note of caution: We're all big boys and girls here, just, be aware that the black 'Murdoch Murdoch' logo t-shirt is especially distinctive and memorable - it's bright yellow on black, with German-style letters, and due to its high exposure at Charlottesville, it's a beacon of being 'alt-right', 'white supremacist', 'nazi' etc. (I wore one to a store, casually, and while nothing really happened, a guy whispered to his girl who then looked my way, and I wondered how random people would even know what a 'Murdoch Murdoch' was? Then it occurred to me, that mine was the Charlottesville shirt, striking and memorable as I say, right in there among the torches, and probably illustrating half the articles on 'white supremacy'. So be careful with that shirt especially.)
(*) I'm pleasantly surprised to find out how much Murdoch made on merch - I was always afraid that you'd buy $20 worth and he'd get $2 or something. Happily, that wasn't the case.
The Store, again.
