Online Parental Leave T-Shirt Store


Looking for the Bumper Sticker fundraising store? Click here!

Welcome to the T-Shirt Store, my best attempt to make ends meet while I’m out of work on unpaid parental leave. 

  • Tees are printed with water-based ink on 100% cotton Comfort Colors garment-dyed shirts. After a wash and dry the ink will be just as soft as the tee itself. Printed by Magic Circle World and Forthrite in the San Francisco Bay Area. 

  • Shirts will ship by the end of 2025! It might be next week, or it might be a few months. I will try my best to ship in time for gift-giving. If you order both “in stock” and “pre-order” styles, I’ll wait to ship all at once.

Thank you for supporting two self-employed artist parents, their unemployed toddler, and their new little babe.

Image sources

Earth Shirts feature The Blue Marble, one of the most reproduced images in history. This photograph was taken on December 7, 1972, by either Ron Evans or Harrison Schmitt (they can’t remember who clicked the shutter) aboard the Apollo 17 spacecraft on its way to the Moon. This is the second image of the earth taken by a human, the first being the 1968 image Earthrise taken by William Anders of Apollo 8. It is also the last image of Earth to be taken by a human; no human since has been far enough from Earth to photograph a whole-Earth image.

Flower shirts feature a classic daisy extracted from the 1901 book, Art Crafts for Amateurs by Fred Miller, decorative artist, now in the public domain.“Try and do something on your own, and to keep your soul sweet, never cease going to the fountainhead, Nature, for she after all is the source of all inspiration. You can exhaust everything but her.”

Peace shirts feature the classic peace symbol, designed in 1958 by British designer Gerald Holtom. Holtom, who had been a conscientious objector during the Second World War, combined the semaphore symbols for the letters “N” and “D,” to stand for “Nuclear Disarmament.” The symbol debuted in 1958 on signage and buttons at a protest led by the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War, and lives on today to stand more generally for peace and hope.

Hug is a tiny drawing that Rob Moss Wilson made as a spot illustration for the Bolinas Hearsay News sometime in the last eight years which has been reborn in tshirt form for your enjoyment.

Houseparty is a very fun party that I’d like to go to; drawn by Rob Moss Wilson specially for a t-shirt in 2023; we found three in the studio! Which partygoer are you? Dancing with the dog? Laying on the ground? I am probably the person vacuuming.
