I just recently dug out this old t-shirt that I made 14 years ago! It’s hand-painted in acrylic directly onto the shirt. I’ve always been afraid it would get ruined if I washed it too often, therefore I only really wear it for special occasions. That generally means midnight premier screenings for Star Wars, general sci-fi and other movies that geeks get excited enough about to wait in line for hours to see before anyone else. In case you don’t recognize the guy on the shirt, that’s Billy Dee Williams, a.k.a Lando Calrissian. Lucas never thought Lando deserved his own shirt, so I had to make one.

Call for Photos!
One of the things that sets Donkeyshines apart from other T-shirt sites is the use of paintings to display the t-shirts. While I plan to keep these, I also want to add photo galleries for each design. Who will be my models? Well, I’m hoping YOU will. If you’ve purchaced a Donkeyshines t-shirt, and don’t mind showing your mug on the internet, send pics of yourself wearing them to: photos@donkeyshines.com. Please be sure to say what size you are wearing in the photo. If you want to tell me other details such as where the photo was taken, feel free. The example below is of someone wearing a men’s medium forrest green Nessie in a Fishbowl shirt. It was taken in Subic Bay, Philippines!

X-mas is Coming!
It may be a little early to announce this, but Donkeyshines will “soon” be selling X-mas cards. Probably by early to mid November, we’ll offer packs of 10 and 20 of 2 different designs. Why will a t-shirt store be selling greeting cards? Why only for X-mas? Look for answers to these questions and more over the next month or so. Here’s a sneak preview of one of the designs-
