ERD “Teen Just Wanted Love” Tabloid Long Sleeve T-Shirt — Black
Black heavyweight cotton. White and red print, front and back. ENFANTS RICHES DÉPRIMÉS woven label at the neck.
Front: A full-chest newspaper tabloid collage print — identical composition to the short sleeve version. Multiple clippings, photographs, and headlines assembled in a cut-and-paste layout.
Legible headline text includes:
- Teen ‘just wanted love’ — large bold serif headline, upper, dominant
- Autopsy: Death of You… Causes W… Concert — partial headline
- Teen gets 12 years in killing of mother
- SPAT DROVE TO MOM — bold caps
- The fate-like / Built on Sin / House Built on Sin
- Sexual harassment incidents escalate / Premature Puberty / Reported Corrected / By Use of Chemical — lower text block
Photographs: high-contrast black-and-white mugshot/press photography of young male figures. A small red ★r★d motif appears in the upper right — the ERD star-initial mark in red, small and embedded in the collage.
Chain/link graphic elements — a decorative border of chain links runs horizontally across sections of the collage, adding a punk/zine graphic language to the tabloid layout.
Back: A large, atmospheric composition — quieter and more focused than the dense front.
Center: A large high-contrast black-and-white photograph of a young male figure — bust/torso cropped, in a suit or blazer, head slightly bowed or turned. The image is heavily degraded — xerox/screen-print style, ghosted into the black ground. The figure has an air of resignation or melancholy.
Surrounding text — in small caps/serif, rotated and arranged around the photograph:
- Left side, vertical: cope with stress and frustration
- Upper, horizontal: develop a conscience
- Right side, vertical: become self reliant
- Beneath the photograph, centered: aka us if he was our son.
Lower center: e★r★d — lowercase, with red star motifs between letters. The ERD logo in its smallest, most casual form.
The back reads as a parody of a parenting or self-help checklist — “develop a conscience / cope with stress and frustration / become self reliant” — applied to a photograph of a boy who clearly couldn’t. Dark humor, ERD-typical.
