T-shirts


Actually I've covered the story of the OlyBlog t-shirt earlier this year. But it belongs in the gallery of t-shirts anyway.



Michael Dowers made this t-shirt in the 1980s (I think) using the Starhead Comix logo I drew.



From the 2002 AIE Summer Program, including Bezango WA 985 on stage! The images are from the comic series.

A page from Cranium Frenzy # 3 which was captioned "Three seconds in the life of Rindo Bloch" inspired this play by my brother, Bryan, and the original image was used in the t-shirt.

Cast member Jeff Kingsbury went on to be elected to the Olympia City Council for one term and his name became an Oly household word-- and not exactly in way anyone would choose.












I first drew the image for Woofer the Psychic Dog (co-written by Bryan) back in 1986 and it just keeps living on whether it is performed in New York or Olympia. To publicize the 1988 Oly premiere I created a long banner which spanned 4th Ave. about where the Danger Room is today.

Dino Rossi is a three time loser Republican, 2 losses for Washington State Governor, 1 for US Senate. Now seen as a perennial candidate, his supporters never bother to take down his signs and his name has become part of the local landscape-- but to his detriment politically since even though he's not been in the State Senate for almost a decade, the fact his signs are still up paints him as a career politician.

Actually, I don't have anything against career politicians, they are professionals and can get things done if you are lucky enough to be represented by a decent one. However, in Rossi's case, he'll need the Tea Baggers if he wants to ever win. And keeping these signs up even though he's lost three times will not help his case with that crew at this point in history, in spite of the fact he's right of center on the political spectrum.

Left in a recycle barrel where it sat for several days.

Then someone fished it out and posted it nearby.

So I took it down and hid it in a place where it will probably not be found for years.
