Micke Thorsby, a.k.a. PMKFA is one interesting dude. The Stockholm, Sweden born, raised, and educated graphic designer has been based out of Tokyo since the early-2000s, working with a slew of clients from Uniqlo to Nudie Jeans, Arkitip to AOL Time Warner, and generally never slowing down or losing exposure.

When he first paired with Osaka's Sweatshop Union for a small collection of clear-line, imaginative graphic tees, Thorsby claimed to be working on them in order to loosen his already tight budget (if you make shirts for sale, who's to say you can't grab a few on the side?) PMKFA and It's Our Thing, the resultant T-shirt company, have come quite some way since that fateful collaboration with Sweatshop Union, and they finally decided it was time to open an online store! (Micke is no longer on a tight budget—he's established! What do you expect!?)

Now the whole world can buy the company's wacky, occasionally creepy, neon- and pastel-infused printed shirts with the click of a button. Word is that new designs will be out "later this year." We'll see...
