I love it, I love it, I LOVE IT! I love old school video games like Donkey Kong. I love Star Wars. Thanks to Threadless and Carlos Escarrega (AKA Yimbo), I might get the opportunity to enjoy both of those loves in one t-shirt. As usual, Threadless is asking its loyal fans about which illustration they wish to see on a shirt. Yimbos entry, “Return of the Bit” is a humorous mash up of the epic scene from Star Wars Return of the Jedi where Luke Skywalker and Han Solo is trying to save Princess Leia from the greasy grips of Jabba the Hutt with the iconic ladder and barrel tossin’ game of Donkey Kong. Yimbo illustrates a worm like Donkey Kong fashioned to look like Jabba with a less than sexy Leia in her slave outfit. Unfortunately, Leia looks like a guy with a pony tail rather than a hot princess in a bikini, but who cares! It’s a pretty funny shirt and I hope Yimbo gets the nod to have his great illustration graced on a shirt on Threadless.
