At the end of the eighties, there was a further Tattoo idea I just had to make as a T-shirt - a celebration of Lou Reed’s classic LP “Rock’n’Roll Hearts”. That line "deep down inside I've got a Rock'n'Roll heart" was just pure poetry - our cultural romanticism. This Polaroid of Wendy’s own tattoo is “Too Fast To Live, Too Young To Die” - she’s so real.
Artist, Dan Perfect, wears the Rock&Roll Hearts Tee with Modzart Blue Moonjeans.

Alice Hiller wrote in ‘The Observer’ “John Dove and Molly White have been designing and hand-printing T-shirts since the late Sixties when they were among the first people to start exporting them to America. Originators of the Seventies glitter T-shirt and the Punk black-on-dayglo Tiger stripe designs, they now produce 1000 T-shirts a week. This years best sellers show a torn picture of the Mona lisa, captioned ‘Anarchy Is Art Isn’t’ and a ‘Rock’n’Roll Heart’ tattoo (pictured above)”.

The Rock’n’Roll Hearts drawing was the first in a series of prints where the drawing dominated the print. Our usual concept of making prints was to allow the flow of the process to take over. Using half-tone separation to enhance the delicacy of the line, we followed through with the print of a continuous undulation of crushed Tattoo T-shirts.
