Awesome! It's the first order so let me know if anything doesn't seem to work. I'm a little nervous

New Etsy Store has launched!
www.etsy.com/shop/PShrts
In the future I hope to be able to do more physical sales, but for now it's Etsy.

Not to get overly #OnPoli here, but this week I brought together a classic Rickyism and some total #DoFo bullshit.

If anybody is writing/producing Freddy Got Fingered: The Musical, please rest assured that you've just found your graphics person! #FreddyGotFingered #TomGreen #CheeseSandwich

I'm so jealous! So I googled it and I'm still jealous! Is this what it looked like?

4 new ones: 2 Kids In The Hall related, 1 Norm Macdonald, & 1 1987 UK film featuring Lemmy & Motorhead.
An update: I haven't been able to acquire funding for actual printing quite yet, but hopefully soon-ish. Once that's achieved, it's on to online sales via panierdachat.com. Here's hoping!

Yes! @jasonschneidermedia.com suggested a Louis Del Grande/Seeing Things print, and now it exists. Thanks Jay!
AND, @nardwuarserviette.bsky.social recently interviewed @mark-carney.bsky.social, bringing up the subject of Willie Dunn, whose early releases were on #CBC Records.

Looking in to it! He was in Cronenbergs' Scanners? cool.
I'm also looking at Willie Dunn, whose music I haven't really heard yet.

Finally, for #SaveTheCBC, 3 P-Shirts of classic #CBC shows from the West coast.
The Nature Of Things is still on, but is now hosted by Sarika Cullis-Suzuki & Anthony Morgan.

King Of Kensington/Al Waxman on a P-Shirt

The Friendly Giant/Bob Homme on a P-Shirt

Mr. Dressup/Ernie Coombs on a P-Shirt

The Littlest Hobo/London on a P-Shirt

I've been working on a small classic #CBC series of P-Shirts.
@savethecbc.bsky.social is my inspiration.
If you don't know who these 3 people & dog are, then please ask a parent, or someone over the age of 45! #SaveTheCBC

No #Toronto trip to Yonge/Dundas was complete without visiting Sams! (A&A optional, followed by HMV years later) Of course, the sign has been preserved several stories up at Y&D Square.

Down on Queen's Quay #Toronto, if you were having a wedding, bar mitzvah, dinner, or otherwise, Captain John's was the go-to floating restaurant. The 2nd pic is apparently what it looks like now, in Port Colborne, ON.

Every time I went to a show at Lee's Palace, I went early enough to visit #HonestEds, especially in the winter so I could buy a toque. Doing otherwise was not up for discussion.

On to some defunct #Toronto places, starting with every 80's kids favourite, The Organ Grinder, or as 8 year old me would've called it, "A lot better than Chuck E Cheese".

Thank you Mervyn Sequiera. DT250309

I borrowed the goose from Mervyn Sequieras' "Goose vs. Eagle" photograph from last week. Thank you Mervyn!
New sweater logo for #TeamCanada for sure!

Hopefully in the spring or summer. Still a lot of work to do. Haven't printed a single one yet!

Of course! Kyle R here. Also @kiderjones.bsky.social

Mel Brown-The Wizard (1968)

In 2009 #Kitchener lost their finest Blues Guitarist, Mel Brown. This print is based on his 2nd album, The Wizard (1968), released some 20ish years before moving to Kitchener from Jackson Mississippi. His memorial statue is now on Queen St South in Downtown Kitchener.

Nunfucker-Dead & On The Floor EP (1987)

Back in 1985, #Waterloo had 5 high schoolers who wanted to start a punk band, and one of their parents apparently said "why not just call yourselves The Nunfuckers or something?". And so they did, and in 1987 they released this classic, which is now ready for a brand new P-Shirt print!

#UptownWaterloo, in what's now one of 2 fairly attractive condo buildings, Seagram's once stored & aged thousands of barrels of whisky. I assume the visible barrels were emptied for bottle processing & brought outside. No date for the original photo, but let's assume Al Capone is the buyer.

Of course I wasn't finished with that Dutch Boy one from last week. This may or may not be what is now Central Fresh (Meat) Market. Either way, it's where those KCI kids get their cans of whipped cream from. (at least they did in the 90's)

On my last visit to Harmony Lunch in #Waterloo, I overheard this conversation from 2 old men:
Bill: Morning Ed, how are ya?
Ed: Well, I woke up alive again!
Bill: 👍
Older story from my Grandmother was that this was the first place my uncle went to upon his return from WWII. Must've been a good day!

Sonny's - 256 Weber St N, Waterloo, ON RIP

Up to #Waterloo! Just like my Mom, this was a teenage hot spot for me. I always hoped they'd be able to add the #TorontoMapleLeafs with the Stanley Cup next to the 1967 Leafs pic on their wall, but then they closed & we're still waiting for that cup. 🙁 RIP #SonnysWaterloo

Years later, just before I turned 19, Club Abstract replaced The Texas Longhorn restaurant. It was a good start to the 1990's, ending some 20+ years later. Good times!

I remember when the #Kitchener Toys R Us opened, but I remember Hiway Market more! All I can recall is Lego & not food. Also, TRU promoted with David Hasselhoff to win points.
