Mission impossible?

Please help me find this shirt.

So it really shouldn't be this hard. I can't find any of these shirts online. Google fails me.

Here it is.

Please advise.

Cafe Press? It doesn't look like it would be hard to reproduce.

Are you sure they weren't independently, small-scale screenprinted? I just looked through an insane number of image results for "san diego shirt" and "san diego tee" (I'm sure you did, too) and came up with nothing.

For what it's worth, I've definitely seen similar shirts from New Orleans and New York. The street vendors sell them in both places in touristy areas. It likes your first one has splatter paint, and those are helpful words for doing a search.

Any screenprinter could have done these, yeah. But I can see why you would want one from that picture. :-)

San Diegan here. These look like totally sweet shirts you can buy in tourist traps down at the beach. Are you local, at all?

Durr, just looked at your profile. Not local. Honestly, I'm moving to LA this week or I'd cruise by Mission Beach. Do you have any local minions to do your bidding?

Response by poster: I used to be local. Always wanted one and never purchased one. Two years later, I STILL WANT IT. Given that wait time, I think it's time to buy.

Great idea fillsthepews... I will get a minion on it! :)
