OlyBlog was one of the first community blogs in the country to bill itself as "hyperlocal" when it was started by Rick McKinnon in 2005.
In the early days of the blog we OlyBloggers would meet at the Brotherhood Tavern (locally called the BroHo) in Olympia on occasion. Some of us had a little problem about the caimans in Oly's Capitol Lake and made an issue out of it. I even drew a comic about the sordid affair called Fetid Lake of Doom.
Anway, I drew a logo for OlyBlog using the caiman image about mid-2006. As you can see by perusing through this Morty the Dog blog, drawing giant reptiles has been a theme of mine for years.
OlyBlogger Visudha De Los Santos, a former neighbor of mine here in McCleary, took the logo and produced about 10 or 12 of these shirts. They were distributed at the BroHo in January 2007. The shirt is blue and the logo is white, but my phone photos have sort of changed the color of everything.
