Otis & Tovar - Pre Show Coachella Chaos... The Fun Kind!


We are working on a killer Special Edition Coachella Shirt that will be hand printed in our booth at the festival, yes I am making, I mean decorating... ( i won't be sitting there sewing ) each shirt by hand. Sorry, no showing till show time! Yes, these are going to be a pretty limited item. Like most of my old t-shirts, I like it like that! Considering that we will have 85000 folks X 2 so i'm gonna be a busy mofo but I am only physically able to make so many. So if you were fortunate enough to get a ticket come grab one before they vanish forever into collector oblivion! Each shirt will be an original... No machine printers in this camp! I have a great crew of talented artists on site to help me with the onsite printing and hand coloring of these one of a kind shirts. I have also designed a cool limited edition poster for the event that we will be printing during the week. All looking pretty nice.
We have all of our details for the festival ironed out, we're gonna be burning the candle at both ends until show time, nothing unusual really. We have our location set at the festival. Come visit me and Gary along with our awesome crew in the main Coachella lobby area near the general store, by the entrance. We at some point will be scheduling a pre show morning meet and greet thing at our booth, I will be signing posters with my partner in crime Gary Tovar. Come by and follow me on twitter! Big thanks to our old friend Paul Tollett and his amazing staff at Coachella for bringing us into this awesome event and taking such good care of us! Sorry we will have no online sales for this stuff, will probably all be gone at the shows.
