I seriously underestimated how HARD one-line art is! 😂

I made this cute little BOO-P design with a ghosty and a dog and thought, “Hey… this would make a cute T-shirt!” 👻🐶

So naturally, I had to turn it into one!
If you want a BOO-P shirt of your own, they’re $25 shipped and available in S–4XL in White, Yam, Pepper, Mustard, Gray, and Espresso.

They’re made with 100% ring-spun U.S. cotton and have that soft, lived-in feel you want in a favorite tee:

• Garment-dyed for a broken-in color and texture
• Heavyweight 6.1 oz fabric
• Relaxed, comfortable fit
• Tubular knit with no side seams
• Double-needle stitched hems for durability
• Pre-shrunk fabric
• Sewn-in label
• Available S–4XL (unisex)

Basically, I fought with one-line art so you can wear the adorable result. 😂👻🐾

$25 includes shipping! 📦

BOO-P: because every ghost needs a good dog.
