I have some sad news to report. We released “Pick up the moon” on Monday and many of you happily ordered the shirt. However, we soon realised that there was a small printing error – one colour was missing. If you look at the original design, the blue colour (trees behind the astronaut and kid leading up towards the clouds) was missing. After discussing our options, we decided that it was necessary to remove it from the shop. We’ve asked our printer Tailortown to reprint the shirt a.s.a.p. so we can have it back up in the store.

We are really sorry for this inconvenience, lots were looking forward to buying this shirt (and some already did). But, despite the fact that some like the shirt even without this colour, the final product does not correspond to the original design by MrWayne.

Those who ordered the shirt (it’s probably somewhere between us and you at the moment) have two options. You can return the shirt to us (we’ll refund those shipping costs) and send you the new shirt once it is relaunched. Or, you can keep this very, very limited misprint as a collectors item. Personally, I think the blue is important to the design, but we’ll leave it up to those who bought it to decide – we can’t force you either way ;)

We’ll keep you posted on the new release date for Pick up the Moon and thank you for your understanding. Let us know if you have any questions!

Rainbow by ndikol

ndikol gets back on the shop withRainbow, his unicorn and the “rainbow massacre” :-) Here is a nice interview from ndikol.

Hi Ndikol,

Here are some fun questions from the community – they want to get to know you a bit more J

Do you like rainbows?
Yes, I like them.  Because the sky looks more colourful and beautiful when there is a rainbow. Even though I have not seen any for the last 10 years.

Would you like to own a unicorn?
Yes I’d love to have one. Because I think the unicorn is a very unique animal, and if I have one, it will look very cool.

What is your favourite colour?
Black is my favourite. Like my skin that becomes blacker in this tropic weather.

Which country haven’t you visited yet that you wished you could? Why?
Germany is the country that I haven’t visited and I wish I could, because I’m the biggest fan of beer.

What don’t you like about yourself?
I don’t like it when I get insomnia. Because my body doesn’t fell refreshed when I wake up.

Mountains or Oceans?
I’d choose mountains because they offer fresh air far away from pollution.

Dogs or cats?
I choose cats - because cats are funny and spoiled animals.

How do you like to cook eggs?
I like to cook omelettes. And flipping fried eggs is also my favourite.

Do you prefer girls with long or short hair?
I prefer the girls with long hair. Because they look more feminine and pretty with long hair and I just feel like dating when she has long hair.

You are lost in the desert, what would you attempt to do?
I would do a rain dance!

A final word?
Big thanks for everyone’s support. I will always work hard to make a design and give the best I can.

And for those who haven’t done it yet, please check out ndikol’s website.
