Pulling the plug for new beginning

We are very pleased to announce that we are cutting back on the T-Shirt collection to fully concentrate on our hand made boutique guitar accessories range that seems to be gaining momentum in the the world of music and this being the case, we are unable to commit full time to both sides of Fullfatnation and keep our standards of quality as high as we would like. Therefore we have decided to put all of our time into the guitar accessories line "Fullfatcables" with a view to relaunch the T-Shirt line when things calm down at HQ.

MARLEY: trailer by Kevin Macdonald

We at fullfatnation have seen many documentaries on Bob Marley and none of them thus far has been a bad watch, maybe its the director maybe its the editing but, we are convinced that it is the subject matter.
Bob Marley as talented, prolific and legendary as he was and still is remains to this day the epitome of humble and that combination makes him a timeless entity in an ever changing world.

That said, here is a trailer for the forthcoming documentary titled MARLEY from film maker Kevin Macdonald who states that "Bob Marley is the most influential musician of the 20th century by far".

If you have a spare £28,000 burning a whole in your pocket and you don't feel like blowing all on our entire range of shirts, maybe you need to know what it is and if you did maybe you would be interested in  the HYT H1 Hydro Mechanical Watch set to debut at the 2012 Baselworld Watch Fair in Switzerland (I'm sure Roger Federer will be sporting one of these bad boys soon)!

Spike Jonze: Mourir Auprès de Toi

Designer Olympia Le-Tan's embroidered clutch-bags spring to life in director Spike Jonze’s tragicomic stop-motion animation Mourir Auprès de Toi (To Die By Your Side). On a shelf in famed Parisian bookstore Shakespeare and Company, the star-crossed love story of a klutzy skeleton and his flame-haired amour plays out amidst Le-Tan’s illustrations of iconic first-edition book covers. "It's such a beautiful and romantic place,” offers Le-Tan of the antiquarian bookstore. "The perfect setting for our story!” The project started after Jonze asked for a Catcher in the Rye embroidery to put on his wall and the plucky Le-Tan asked for a film in return. Enlisting French filmmaker Simon Cahn to co-direct, the team wrote the script between Los Angeles and Paris over a six month period, before working night and day animating the 3,000 pieces of felt Le-Tan had cut by hand. “I love getting performances from, telling stories about and humanizing things that aren’t human,” said Jonze of working with Le-Tan’s characters. After spending five years adapting Maurice Sendak’s Where The Wild Things Are, Jonze’s recent shorts include robot love story I’m Here and an inspired G.I. Joe-starring video for The Beastie Boys. “A short is like a sketch,” he says. “You can have an idea or a feeling and just go and do it.” Here the iconic director reveals his creative process to writer Maryam L'Ange.
