Spring Cleaning
Since I’m habitually late when it comes to everything it was appropriate that today I started my spring cleaning. Amidst my T-Shirt organizing I was thrilled to re-find my once long lost Mishka KMFDM Tee. This was the first piece of Mishka clothing I ever owned and I remember wearing it like a uniform throughout the spring and summer of 2005 until it was a salty rag. Feeling pretty stoked about the find I threw it in the hamper to be reinstated into a second tour of service and continued digging through the piles of musty nostalgia. After another couple minutes I found this guy:
A completely deadstock KMFDM Tee I had stashed away and completely forgotten about. I remember I bought this Tee online because in 05′ Mishka was pretty hard to come by up North. I also remember that I wasn’t accustomed to waiting for things in the mail and when the parcel took more than two weeks to arrive I wrote a strongly worded letter to the online shop I had ordered it from (not mishkanyc.com). Within literally a day of writing the email my parcel arrived and within a week of that one arriving a second identical parcel landed on my doorstep.
I feel as though this Tee needs to be passed like a torch so that someone else can relive my glorious summer of 05′ that was chalk full of drunk chicks trying to read backwards block fonts, Jager, Midtown, and unintentionally shitting on Depeche Mode fans.

SHIT!!! I think I scowered the entire internet looking for this shirt right after it went out of print. I think this one is one of my favorite designs ever done by Mishka

Please tell me the online shop was Digital Gravel.
Worst shipping ever.

If it’s a medium, I’ll throw you 50 bones for it my dude.

You should pass the torch to a Mishka intern who has been searching for this shirt as well as its younger brother “Kidnap Madonna for Drug Money”. If you want to send it my way you can ship it to the store addressed to Reed Maidhof.

NOW I AM PRETTY SURE I WONT BE THE ONE WHO RECEIVES THIS SHIRT BUT THIS BRINGS UP A SOLID FUCKING TOPIC THAT I HAVE BEEN SAYIN FOR AWHILE NOW YOU GUYS NEED TO RE-RELEASE THIS AND THE “KIDNAP MADONNA FOR DRUG MONEY” SHIRT OR MAKE A “KYLIE MINOGUE FANS DONT MASTURBATE” SHIRT AND PUT ALL THREE OF THEM OUT AS A SET IN NEW COLOR WAYS!

Judge Death!!! Wow…fucking EPIC!

I’m Welsh. That’s even tougher than being English, right? Do I win? Please? If not, BUCK has the right idea, I just missed it, with my obsession not starting til after it’s release. I have this idea that when I reach 40 there’ll be a hardbacked book of all Mishka designs ever made on my shelf. And I’ll being showing it to my kids saying “look, son/daughter, these guys are FUCKING RAD!”

Anyway, I bought a medium off eBay awhile back for some cash, and it’s too small, and my girl hates stuff like this, so it hangs in my closet. Kill Madonna For Drug Money was nice, but if you want to really help out your fans, do a reprint of this shirt in multiple colors (Or sell me this one if it’s a large.) No combination of Judge Death and KMFDM and blindly hating on Depeche Mode would ever go so well again with a Big Black album and a tacky advertisement for a Cheap Trick cover ever again.

@eugene h

Definately co-sign with Buck, everytime I see a sick out of print mishka tee..I just wonder why not have a lil sister site or something that sells a bunch of your earlier prints…cause damn I’ve seen a dope ragland and a bunch of other stuff just like this that needs to be reproduced and sold everywhere to the point flea markets’ll have bootleg mishka called mistah or someshit.
