Boo Boo Walker

Is it just me or does it seem like there’s been a whole rash of people who have turned some of their great — but for some reason unprinted — submissions to Threadless into their own t-shirt shops as of late?
The one that springs to mind immediately is our pal Jay at White Frog. He’s managed to build himself quite an impressive little catalog out of the designs he had laying around his portfolio.
But I didn’t start this post to talk about Jay… Today we’re talking about a new budding mogul by the name of Josh Perkins and his fledgling shop, Go Ape Shirts. With four great designs from Josh and three others, this crew looks like they’re going to be worth keeping an eye on.
Then again, I could just be talking them up because I’m insanely happy over the fact that they managed to print Dave Horowitz’s outstanding AT-AT Boo Boo — a design we pimped almost a year ago. And while the name might have changed, my love for it most certainly hasn’t. Perhaps that’s because it follows a time tested comedic formula…
Seriously, if you were to think of anything or anyone sporting a lampshade collar, I bet you’d probably start laughing your fool head off. I know I would. I mean, dude, that’s just straight up comedy gold…

Go Ape Shirts has three awesome tee’s right now. I’m really looking forward to their future work.

Dear God,
I swear I’ll be good if either $18 or this shirt appears under my pillow.
Amen.

I like the idea, but NOT the colors… I would have gone with a grey on black background, or a white on gray one…
Cheers!

Gotta agree with Luis Alberto Barandiaran, I like the shirt (and Go Ape in general) but the colour of the collar is just a bit bright for my tastes, why not to for classic white?

I just got word that mine is finally in the mail after waiting 3 weeks for a reprint. This is me being giddy.

Now that I actually have it I have to say that the collar is not too bright. The design is printed on a charcoal shirt so the contrast is not as high as if it had been printed on black. And once you allow the variations for printing the colors work very well.
