Y’all have been so enthusiastic about the new tees and crews I’ve been making inspired by Andor season 2, so I thought I’d drop them all here in one post with some thoughts on my process. 💜 Shop is here.

Starting out with my I have friends everywhere tee, which y'all have made a best seller. The Aurebesh has the above mentioned rebel codephrase alongside the Andor starbird, a U-Wing, and a starry sky.

I knew I had to make a Cassian tee with this line from the first time I heard it. The Aurebesh reads "You're coming home to yourself." It's such a pivotal moment right at the beginning of season 2.

And who are we as a fandom without kalkite memes? I made an English and an Aurebesh version of this tee, which reads "kalkite · synthetic kalkite · kalkite alternatives · kalkite substitutes." I used crystals because based on the project the kalkite is being harvested for, and Galen and Lyra Erso's body of work, they would be looking for crystals. (I'm not a geologist, but I've read all the Rogue One books.) Also there's a tiny Imperial cog there at the bottom.

There's pretty much no Kleya merch so I wanted to make a tee that reflected not just her but her relationship with Luthen and the Rebellion. The Aurebesh reads "know your way out," advice Luthen often repeated to her. I'm hoping to make some more Kleya things in the future, but I love how this tee came out.

After the second Ghorman arc, I wanted to make something to represent the people that could perhaps be a tourist tee. On the top the Aurebesh reads "call your kin to come and sing," from the Ghorman planetary anthem. On the bottom it says "Ghorman · Sern Sector."

I wanted to make a Melshi tee that connected the Narkina 5 arc to the final arc of Andor, so I used an image of him from the end of the 3rd arc as he makes his way to Yavin. I used colors that reminded me of Yavin and the quote "people have to know about this," which Melshi says to Cassian when they part ways on Niamos. He's a messenger, like Cassian, with all the risks that entails.

Edited to add in the Mon Mothma tee I just dropped. The Aurebesh reads “the death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil” which was a lot of text to get on there so I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to make this work. But I think it came out pretty great. I also really wanted to use an image from her getaway car moment, her ultimate commitment to the rebellion as she leaves the Senate.

And these last two tees are pretty self explanatory. And in English. I hope you love them.

Shop is here. Thank y'all for all the love. 💜

B-29. Does it remind you of some other aircraft? Millennial Falcon ring a bell? The B-29 inspired it.

seeing mon and kleya’s thrilling escapes from coruscant makes leia’s first reaction to luke and han even funnier. leia must’ve heard about these highly skilled rebels but then when she gets captured, she gets a hillbilly farmboy and an idiot smuggler to rescue her

That feeling you get during a dry spell on Tumblr, save for that one sole spike in likes and reblogs.
