FINAL CALL! We still have a few of our 2024 Halloween shirts left in sizes S, M, L, and XL, in both the store and the online shop. If you order today with shipping, chances are still (pretty?) good you'll get your shirt by Halloween. Better yet, come in and buy one in person!

This year’s shirt features artwork by Raul Flores, and these were once again silkscreen-printed onto high-quality black all-cotton tees by Sam McCanna at Skurvy Ink.

If you're subscribed to our newsletter, then you found out yesterday that our 2024 Halloween shirts had arrived...and we've already sold out of several sizes! We still have S, M, L, XXL, Women's M, and Women's L left; they can be purchased through the website or in the store, but we don't expect these to last long, either, so don't wait until your cauldron has boiled dry to call up your Iliad Halloween shirt!

As we anxiously await the arrival of our 2024 Halloween t-shirts (soon!), we asked our artist to tout himself a bit: Raul Flores is an illustrator, cartoonist, sculptor, and reluctant animator. On his work, Raul says, "Influenced by a ton of seemingly disconnected elements, my love of commercial art started at age 3 or 4 with a print advertisement for scotch that featured a beautiful illustration of the Loch Ness monster (the ad appeared in a questionable men's magazine that I found in a '70s-era barber shop). My tastes are varied, everything from Francisco Goya prints and vintage children's book illustration to classic Disney, archaeology, psychedelic art cartooning, and Mad magazine. My main problem is I have to draw or I'm not happy; I must be making something. If a drawing makes me laugh or crack a smile, I just succeeded in being an artist."
