#tee shirt tuesday

[startorialist]

What’s better than one adorable startorialist? How about three, wearing matching t-shirts featuring Lego mini-fig versions of two more?!

These photos were submitted by Jo, a former students of mine, featuring her son-in-law, grandson, and husband Bob - the generations of startorialists! The shirt is Space is Awesome by the equally awesome @pacalin! From Jo:

I got them the shirts for Christmas [...] Brian (6 years old) knows who Bill and Neil are. Since retiring, I have had time to spend learning about our awesome universe and your class inspired me to continue. You filled in many pieces of the puzzle and I still rely on the info you taught to continue learning on my own. [I learned a lot from Jo & Bob, who are retired teachers! -E] I have definitely inspired Brian to study the stars and universe. He wants to be an Astrophysicist. His Pre-K and Kindergarten teachers were very impressed that he knew that word.  

I bet Brian knows more than the word, especially with such wonderful grandparents as role models!

About the shirt - once again, @pacalin‘s attention to detail astounds me. Of course there is Neil’s vest and Bill’s bow tie, and Neil is holding Newton’s Principia, but then in the background there is Cassini orbiting Saturn (at first I thought it could be Voyager, but the gold spacecraft and the long boom are giveaways), and then there’s Enceladus spewing material from its south pole!

Check out all of @pacalin‘s designs at Neato Shop!

Startorialist Kristen Fredriksen (aka @thefinenailfrontier) shared this Kohl’s find with us on twitter last week, and it led me down a rabbit hole of epic Moon t-shirts, very apropos for this week! They’re all from the Juniors’ section so the sizing is on the tiny size, but they’re all on sale.

From top to bottom:

Give me Some Space blue tee

I love you to the Moon phases tee

Rainbow Moon phases on gray tee

Rainbow Moon phases on black tank top

Chase the Moon blue tank top

Slightly Illuminati Moon phase tank top

Fly me to the Moon pastel tee

These t-shirts are all created by an enterprising student who is selling them to raise money for college. Lucky for us he’s already made some sweet observatory, space exploration, and sci-fi designs, and he’s open to custom work as well!

From top to bottom:

Mount Wilson (info)

Mount Wilson 150-foot solar telescope (info)

Garvey Ranch Observatory (info)

Space shuttle launch, Apollo 11, astronaut

And my favorite, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy logo

From Sarah:

My amazingly creative son Jacob is making customized shirts and selling them to raise money for college. If you're interested, he can do just about any design or you can choose from the ones he's already done. Each template is hand cut and every shirt unique. Please message me for details.

Jacob is selling his creations for $25-35+shipping depending on complexity of the design. Check out all the designs!

Today’s #TshirtTuesday post is brought to you by a man of many talents, t-shirts, and ties: Justin Starr! Justin is a music teacher here in NYC, but luckily he’s not letting his surname go to waste, because he is also an avid amateur* astronomer and astrophotographer! He has shared many t-shirts and ties with us via twitter (the selfie is strong with this one...), and lucky for you readers, Justin has donated a print of one of this astrophotos** for our survey prize pack!

*I hate the term because most of the “amateur” astronomers I know are incredibly knowledgeable & talented - nothing amateur about that!

**You could also pick a puppy or pony print!
