You should never forget where you came from and looking at these iconic punk t-shirts. Jim Gardner Minshew Shirt reminded us that we’ve been printing band merch for a long time. Kingteeshops printers started out in 1977, born from a music scene which gave us some incredible punk bands. In the intervening years, a lot has changed. We turned our passion for printing into how we make a living, made it thoroughly professional, moved to new premises and expanded our services.

First off, I’ll say that the design is not for me Jim Gardner Minshew Shirt. It’s called the Creeper and it is a bit creepy. My wife doesn’t like things like this and my daughter wouldn’t be happy if we wore it. It’s a creepy skull t-shirt. But, that’s just a matter of taste and the fact is that skull t-shirts are very popular and some photographers might love this kind of design. Now that we have talked about my taste in t-shirts, it’s time to talk about the t-shirt itself.
The skull and bony fingers are drawn very well and the positioning of the camera in the center of the skull adds to the creepiness. At a glance, it might be mistaken for a cyclops but it’s the camera lens that we are looking at. The camera’s positioning in front of the face prevents us from seeing the eyes which are thought to be the window to the soul. And in some culture, I read somewhere, they believed that their souls were stolen when someone took their photo. And if the photographer happens to be a ghoul of some sort… Anyway, I’m probably reading more into this image than is really there but regardless, it is a powerful design that will make some people curious and others uncomfortable. It’s a skull design but expressive and even vigorous, somehow.
The print is soft and impeccable and the 100% cotton t-shirt, which I suspect is an American Apparel, is nice and soft too (there was no label).

Cool shirt! The quality is good and the nasa logo seems to be sized right and looks durable. Anxious to see what it does after a few washes. Fit good and was what I expected.

Better than before
I bought a lot of these shirts last summer, and bought more again this year. This year the material is much softer, it didn’t shrink nearly as much as last year, in the ham at the bottom of the shirt stays down. 100% improvement, and I liked them last year!
