back in february, bandai launched "oshare macross" (fashionable macross) at tokyo's marui one department store to promote "macross frontier the movie: wings of goodbye" anime. this promotion featured a series of collaborations, exclusive collectibles, and exhibition of original art by macross designer tenjin hidetaka.

"oshare macross" closed in march, but now it's back in the form of a new artist t-shirt series and shojono tomo is a part of it. this is a great honor for shojono tomo, one of 5 artists chosen to reinterpret macross. the other artists are DEVIL ROBOTS, noriya takeyama, so caro jero, and gloomy bear creator mori chack.

unfortunately, marui one's online shop was shut down after the earthquake. this means you can only get your hands on this stuff in japan. i'll definitely be picking up a few tees when i go to tokyo next weekend. the "oshare macross" artist t-shirt line is available at marui one shinjuku from october 8 - 27th, 2011. shojono tomo's design will also be sold by fewmany, in addition to unrelated new items.

♥, caro
