About
Since moving to the USA in 2003.. I always felt a little homesick throughout the year. I also noticed that some of my Aussie mates felt the same way too.
So I decided I wanted to design something which was mega Aussie, and something which might help bring a little comfort to those who needed it. So the limited print Australia Day t-shirt was created.
Every January 26 is Australia Day. It’s a day where people/families come together, and celebrate everything Australian. A little bit like 4th of July is to Americans.
I would print roughly 50 t-shirts, and market them from January 1, right up until Australia Day, January 26. The first design was launched in 2009, and a new design was created every year until 2020. The shirts would sell out in 2 weeks, and once the design was sold out, it was never printed again.
So much fun. Oi! Oi! Oi!
