Rockets Burst from the Streetlamps Abandoned Buffalo Train Station T-shirt

In some year, in the late 90s, maybe 1997? (the boys would know), we did a photo shoot in the abandoned Buffalo Central Terminal Train Station in NY. It's a beautiful building and it was wonderful and terrible in its art deco decay. The photos the basis for the album artwork for our first record, "Above a Moving Train". At the time, the processing power it took to design this thing on a computer, with all the manipulated high-resolution graphics and my (admittedly weird and overly opinionated, in retrospect) type treatments, was quite substantial. And we had a custom box made in Maine, and we tipped on the photo you see on this shirt by hand.

The photos were great, but they were early digital photos (or were they early crappy scans? I forget. Probably the latter). And I decided that this one would be fun with some sprucing up. So I did some sprucing. I'd say 21st century sprucing, but it's more like a more like a Käthe Kollewitz and Albrecht Dürer had a sloppy 17th+20th century baby all over the place. But I don't even have any umlauts in my name at all. Obviously. The original photo was probably by me or Rick. Or maybe Nick. (The boys would know.)

Someone was just saying to me the other day that the Youth just don't break into abandoned buildings to take photos the way they did in the 90s. It's true, I think. I mean, some do, of course, but it seemed like a quite obvious thing to do back then. Especially if you liked dangerous art deco train stations. (Since rehabbed, by the way.)

This t-shirt comes in many sizes, but only the color black, as it should be. Thank you for your consideration.
