RARE TORSO: JIM JAMES AND DAVE EGGERS’S BISON-HEADED WOMAN T-SHIRT
This Rare Torso T-shirt is sold out! Watch for more Rare Torso limited-run artist shirts throughout 2024.
Note: This was an exclusive preorder. Shirts will be printed and shipped this summer.
ONLY 150 OF THESE SHIRTS WILL BE PRINTED AT MAXIMUM.
Introducing the newest Rare Torso shirt, available for just one week before it is gone forever! Rare Torso offers limited-edition T-shirts by contemporary artists, benefiting free programming at youth writing centers nationwide. Each shirt in the Rare Torso series is made in extremely limited quantities, suitable for collecting, and never to be printed again.
Our next Rare Torso shirt comes from a cosmic mind meld of musician Jim James of My Morning Jacket and our own founder Dave Eggers, and supports the Young Authors Greenhouse—co-founded by Jim James—a member of the International Alliance of Youth Writing Centers. The Young Authors Greenhouse serves students ages 6–18 in Louisville, Kentucky. The shirt’s striking design is available in no fewer than four colors (including two long-sleeve variations), and proudly declares to the world, “Hey, open the door.” Close viewers will recognize the phrase from James’s song “A New Life,” and the image is drawn by Eggers from that song’s iconic music video.
Jim James is an American vocalist, guitarist, producer, and primary songwriter of the rock band My Morning Jacket. James is also a member of the Indie super group Monsters of Folk. Dave Eggers is the author of many books (several of which are available for purchase here). He is the 2024 John Newbery Medalist, for the most distinguished contribution to children’s literature for The Eyes and the Impossible.
All Rare Torso shirts are hand-printed by Nifty Sign & Print, an artist-run business in Richmond, CA, on 100% cotton fabric with long-lasting and eco-friendly water-based ink.
Artwork and text copyright Dave Eggers, Jim James, and McSweeeny’s
