Howling at the Moon

Moonblood T-shirts

They’re essential under sweaters; perfect with jeans; and indispensable on vacations, third dates, and weekends.

T-shirts, of course. Unfortunately and all too often, they’re just plain old boring.

Moonblood, a line of tees designed by soon-to-be husband and wife team Amy Eldon and Leo Voloshin, is anything but. The hand-drawn graphics, inspired by the couple’s interests in travel and anthropology, have a sort of Egyptology-meets-goth zoologist feel — everything from interlocking scarabs and skull-faced Egyptian royalty to serious-looking otters.

Every print is produced locally and lovingly applied by hand, usually onto Alternative Apparel shirts, a line they like for the soft fabrics and styles.

They’re sure to fit you to a T.

Available at Denim Society, 627 North Second Street, suite a (215-923-0536); online at moonblood.net.
