OBEY JERRY ONLY

Take a look at what we discovered… the Misfits’ JERRY ONLY Bootleg! Its pretty official when the people you admire decide they like what you are doing so much that they make their own version and turn it into a tee. See what Shepard had to say about it below. For more information about the legendary MISFITS and the ONLY bootleg tee visit www.misfits.com.

“Most of you know that I’m a huge Misfits fan and created a mash-up of my O.G. Andre face with the Misfits Fiend Skull. Well Misfits co-founder and bassist Jerry Only has returned the favor with an Obey tribute. I started listening to the Misfits in 1984 at 14 years old, so it is a bit surreal for the inspiration to come full circle. I’m honored and not worthy. If you don’t know the Misfits music you better get out from under the uncool rock.”

11th HOUR Campaign

I wanted to write a long explanation of why I’m doing this print to help promote the movie the 11th Hour and to generate funds for the 11thhouraction.com. Unfortunately, I’m short on time and so is planet Earth as we know it. Basically the film expands on the Earth crisis explained in an Inconvenient Truth. Global warming, deforestation, pollution, dependence on petroleum, and over -population. The film puts these issues in frightening perspective but also shows there are solutions. Skip the next Rob Sneider movie and to see the 11th Hour and you’ll be both avoiding pollution and educating yourself about it. If you won’t do it for yourself, do it for MY kid! Thanks
