i made this tshirt after i went into uo
and saw the cali flag on a tshirt for 24 bones
i never buy anything from uo unless it is on sale
and so i made my own damn tshirt
this is a scan from an old sticker
then printed on a calvin klein tshirt from tj maxx
if this tshirt cost me more than 5 bones, ill eat it

a film by alex cox
got this one at a thrift store in van nuys, circa 96
one of my all-time favorite tshirts

revenger's tragedy
brilliant

star wars

star wars
found at the new location of the old
Family Thrift Store
in santa maria, ca
arguably, the best thrift store, ever
i bought a tweed jacket that i wore for years for
65cents
my friend jack found a pair of 1st-gen michael jordans for
$1.99
that i flipped over for $180 at the rose bowl
when i was just there, in the winter of 09, the exact same
handwriting was on the labels, written on colored squares
and paperbacks were still
5 for $1 or 25cents each
regardless, this is not, i believe, a vintage tshirt
