Tim Biskup was raised on Disneyland, Rat Fink, badly dubbed Japanese sci-fi flicks, punk rock, skateboarding, and underground comics - all influences on his manic style. In this collection of 30 removable full-color postcards displaying his clothing line, Gama-Go, subjects include spacemen orbiting around hooded sweatshirts, Godzilla monsters spewing fiery breath on T-shirts, and weiner dogs on leashes frolicking on cute shirts and baby tees. Biskup's images - seen on limited-edition posters and card sets - are highly collectible, and this card set should prove to be as well.
