(Soft) Launch of Mike's T-Shirt Shop

(Soft) Launch of Mike's T-Shirt Shop

Today’s the soft launch of my t-shirt store on this site. I’ve made designs for shirts for fun for a few years and now I’d like to see if I can make a little profit. A portion of the proceeds (when there are any) will support animal rescue and other community charities. To start, I’ve posted a half-dozen or so shirts. All designed by me unless noted.

This first batch includes the very cool “Tiny Fish. Big Adventure” shirt with an original design by Wild Viking Studios. This first set of shirts is also mostly fishing and outdoors-related. More designs on different topics to come in the next few weeks. Let me know what you think.
