TeeShirtsRock geisha t-shirtLiterally thousands of t-shirts that tilt towards the vintage-inspired, although it’s possible to get the Batman logo made over in Afflictionlike tangles, if that’s your thing. Sections include 80’s and 90’s pop culture, band shirts which make sure not to stint on the metal, fantasy and skull images (which is also where they put all the tattoo designs), superheroes, and video games which cover everything from vintage Atari to chat acronyms. Lots of stuff for kids, too, and some of the graphics pop up on hoodies as well.

Killer Kitty off-the-shoulder Evil Dead topBaggy-tee revamps split between 80’s emo brightness and grindhouse cinema. This is the kind of place you can find both bright little apple hoodies and Blood Feast lounge pants, where pink polkadotted ruffle skirts exist peacefully beside Suspiria halter tops, and striped can-can drawstring purses share the page with Misfits hobo bags. Custom welcome.

Finders Creepers Eric PigorsA Des Moines art gallery specializing in the dark and morbid. Shameless pulp, unsettling black and white photography, surrealistic cartooning, the styles are diverse with a welcoming vibe towards outsider artists. Besides signed prints, they also showcase other horrific wares: monster masks, horror movie tees and toys, scream-filled pop art pendants, body jewelry that leans towards the demonic, evil dolls, and if you’re in the area, the in-person items include such delights as a “vintage case full of dead stuff.”
