  • Catching up with my good friend and old school motorcycle t-shirt screenprinter, John Jordan.
    Jordan has been screenprinting since the 60's and you've most likely seen one of his designs floating around. In this video, Jordan talks about how he got started, what motivated his inspiration, and some of his other crazy stories.

    Love Jordan… still friends w/him today! So talented. By the way, I’m in the pics that were shown! I was one of the “Jordan’s Angels”. John and I did t-shirts of “me” that I sold and we did pictures inside beer mugs and a leather jacket w/riveted pics of me I’d wear at big racing shows, plus posters that can be seen in garages around the world. So many memories and I didn’t even know him until he was already famous for 20 years prior. He’s still making t-shirts for those of you wanting to get him to make something for you.

    Just awesome. John used to print all our band shirts back in the day in Baltimore. We'd go to his shop, give him cash and come home with the best printed shirts anywhere. Still have a few and break them out on special occasions. I wonder if he still has his copper chopper? The man is a legend!

    • @thecutrate1
      @thecutrate1  8 місяців тому

      Very cool! He does still have it!

    This was awesome! You should reach out to Dave Gardner and do a video with him. He did a bunch of pre license Harley stuff down In Dallas I believe, and then was the main artist for the 3D emblem stuff. A bona fide legend in screen printing. ❤

    You don’t see real very often these days but John Jordan is the real deal: biker, artist, musician (he plays a mean guitar) and a hell of a story teller. I am thrilled to be a teenie part of the story 21:52 and 22:20. Love you a John! Also, where can we buy these shirts?

    • @thecutrate1

    As a biker and illustrator/graphic designer this was one of the coolest videos i‘ve seen in a long time! I was always fascinated with harley shirts from the 70s 80s and 90s but never knew who did them. Turns out a lot of my favorite graphics are from John. Thank you very much for this video!

    • @rodrigoxnevesx
      @rodrigoxnevesx 8 місяців тому +1
