CLICK ON EACH PHOTOGRAPH BELOW TO ENLARGE





The image below was the first T-shirt I became aware of on Koh Samui Island.
It was shown to me by a German immigrant married to a Thai girl at their home near Bo Phut Beach
on Koh Samui. Mr. Nick also was one of the pioneering shroom farmers on Samui






This particular shirt was the first T-Shirt
I commiission someone to paint this for me in 1987 based on photos of P. cubensis.
I never saw the artist or his shop since. He was one of about 25 artists on the island.
In the image I pose with the artist and his friend. And below that image is the T-Shirt he Created for me.








This shirt portraying both Psilocybe cubensis
and Copelandia cyanescens came from Koh Phanghan Island.
On the back of the shirt is a beautiful painting of Opium Poppies.
The omelette in the image was burnt to a crisp.
I gave it away to a tourist. Serve in a Bo Phut Restaurant.






The image in the middle of the girl under the shroom
is hand-painted and copied from one of the 13 Graz mushroom Postcards.
