As far as blog content, you can expect to see lots of weirdo late 90s tees and lots of newer, more recent merch from Brian.

By b. murphy | Published 05/14/2011

The rip off shirt is an important genre in the shirt game. Sometimes references are great, sometimes they seem to fly over heads (check out that Murphy’s Law TTD shirt for an example). It sucks when people don’t get your reference. And you are never quite sure if it’s because you were too “shirt-snobby” with… Continue reading ».
