A Not So Secret Invasion

Mishka recently took part in the opening reception for Kaiju Invades NYC at the illustrious Toy Tokyo. As part of the event, they created a special shirt originally slated to only be available at the show itself. But after a crazy amount of requests, Mishka allocated a small number of the shirts to their online shop. Featuring one of the most detailed illustrations I’ve seen on a Mishka shirt, I can understand the demand. I’m a Large if anyone is so inclined!

No need for a lot of color here. I love how they incorporate a comic book framework into the shirt. Incorporating two of their more famous characters into monsters makes total sense for the theme of the show. The way they burst off the frame makes them seem larger than life.

The illustration comes from the talented hands of L’amour Supreme. I, for one, would love to see a full color version of this made into a print. For all I know, there is and they were made available at the show. If that’s the case I’m going to kick myself in the ass for not sticking around Manhattan a few more hours for this party last Saturday. I’m already mad enough that I missed out on the tee. If you’re an XL, you might still be in luck….get movin’!
