Hey man, nice shirt.

I just made this shirt yesterday and I couldn’t help but post it up here right away!

My older sister is always getting me in to comics and graphic novels, and most recently she got me on Scott Pilgrim.  If you haven’t noticed, they’ve made a movie based on this series – Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.  Because of my excitement for this movie, I decided to make a shirt from Vol. 6, Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour.  I had been wanting to make it after I finished reading that volume, but the other day I saw some footage of Comic Con where they were screen printing a whole slew of shirts, the one I had been thinking of making being one of them.  So obviously that made me get off my butt and make one for myself!

Ta da!

I’m in the process of making one for my younger sister.  I also want to make a Sex Bob-omb shirt as well.
