T-shirt design

Stoneshop and I just went into town to order some nice T-shirts. After all, spring is upon us, and T-shirt weather will soon be here.
We went to a nice little shop that has opened recently and is run by a young couple. We'd been there before, for a different reason: I spotted a sewing machine through the shop window, that was identical to one I wanted to get rid of (even though there probably isn't anything wrong with it, we're just not getting along), and I went inside to ask whether they'd like mine for parts or as a spare. The girl said they'd like that very much.
So today we brought them the machine, and ordered shirts for [info]stoneshop  , [info]gummihuhn  and me, with a design based on a book cover.

Neat, huh. The bike in the picture looks a lot like my old Jawa, and the guy in the shop thought the man riding it was Stoneshop. But in fact I found the picture on an old cloth-bound book, printed in red on black. The book is called 'Een Vuist Tegen De Hemel' ('A Fist Against Heaven') and appears to tell the story of a rebel who's up to no good and destined for a miserable ending.
I might even read it.

We had to get the shirts ourselves because they didn't have any in stock, but that wasn't a problem. They quoted us a very nice price for printing the three shirts, I think we got a Free Sewing Machine discount.
Sometimes, it's more fun to buy stuff in the Real World instead of online.
And I'm glad my sewing machine found a loving home.
