Kiwi T-Shirts

This is really, really good news.



I was affeared that the Kiwi T-Shirts shop had vanished forever from Wellington when it moved from its previous location on the corner of Chews Lane and Willis Street (for the "massive" Chews Lane project).

About a month ago I went hunting for it at its purported new location -- 27 Manners Street, according to the whitepages. It was nowhere to be found. "Oh noes" wailed I -- fearing the worst -- to anyone who would listen, "how'm I gonna make my one-off slogan art tee-shirts now?" (Galleryhag)

But riding past the location in a bus, yesterday, all my fears evaporated upon spying the new signage, and Kiwi T-Shirts man in the window, hanging up the good ol' trusty "print goofy images of your nephews and nieces on mousepads and white shirts" shop stock.

First up out of the blocks at the new location is gonna be...



... I think...

Would the design incorporate a plate of artichokes?

It bloody well should, I say.

Yay!
They have such a grand range of fonts for t-shirts
Last year I had to go somewhere else that gave me choice about fonts - was too much too much

Ha ha - glad to see it catching on...

He seems to have recreated his shop frontage exactly - must be a winning formula.

I know someone who wanted a copy of the image of the kid in the window on a tshirt. When asked the old guy in the shop said no! This was because it was his son...

So this friend of mine took a photo of the kid through the window. He got the photo put on a shirt then walked casually into the Kiwi T-Shirts shop. The old guy thought it was sick.
