A high-quality print of the OBP hero image, signed by the photographer (Henry Cook) as well as the rest of the Difficult Bird Research Group team (www.difficultbirds.com) I have to get married and go on a honeymoon before Christmas, so I can't see this being sent before march.
PRINT: FirstDogonthemoon cartoon
Print from famed Guardian cartoonist, FirstDogonthemoon. I only asked him about doing this yesterday and he was a very good sport and said yes. I'm sure it'll be related to orange-bellied parrots. As soon as it's done I'll update the main page.

I should mention that the first 10 shirts that are sold will get an extra Hollow Wars shirt FOR FREE. They won't be able to pick sizes though :-)
