Our second entry today in The 2024 PopCult Gift Guide is the perfect gift for the person on your holiday shopping list who loves cool graphic tees, and also doesn’t mind feeding poor folks.
Right now, all the designs in Mitch O’Connell’s Threadless shop are on sale, and all the proceeds from Mitch’s shop in November will go to the charity, Feeding America.
Mitch is an old friend that I haven’t seen in person for a long time, but we keep up via social media, and he’s got tons of great art items available. He’s also been a regular in The Gift Guide for years.
It’s hard to pigeon-hole Mitch O’Connell’s work. He’s run the gamut from low-brow to high-brow, and has been right at home no matter what he does. He is a man who straddles many brows. You’ve seen his work on covers for Newsweek, and illustrations for Rolling Stone, Playboy, The Village Voice and dozens of other magazines.
He’s done clip art that’s been used around the world. O’Connell has drawn CD covers for Supersuckers, Less Than Jake, the Malamondos and tons of other groups. Plus he’s done flyers for Burlesque Shows, movie festivals, bands, theatrical productions and roller derby.
Mitch’s Threadless Shop has dozens of cool pop culture designs, including his recreations of the monster shirts from a classic episode of Leave it To Beaver. You’ll find everything from Bowie and KISS to Plan 9 From Outer Space to Divine, Dolly Parton and Pee Wee Herman. With this current sale, all regular Tees are just $12.50 each.
And while you’re at it, follow him on Instagram too, so you can see his new projects and the cool stuff he finds at flea markets.
