This extra-minimal BART map shirt is my favorite item on Burrito Justice‘s list, but there are a bunch of other great finds as well. Check it out.

The Communication Company is a local letterpress studio run by Mission resident Katherine Wong, who promises to never print an owl. She made these gorgeous bifold greeting cards, and they’re now available on Etsy.

Also available: these colorful condensed bold purrs and exclamations:

Ooh, chihuahua indeed.

Pixel artist David Cole explains:

History recognizes two great eras of brotherhood: war-time sailoring and ’80s-era video arcade hooliganary. With this temporary tattoo pack, you can finally avoid wasting time celebrating these two things in separate contexts.

Yes! Buy them here. More pics and explanation here.

Siiick! (Also, I guess it’s unclear whether this will eventually be available for purchase or not, but whatevrr.)

These are new prints by artist Claire Nereim. Find these and more in her Etsy shop, or I’m pretty sure Needles + Pens might have one or two of her forever calendars for sale.

It has my fave song of 2010, “Cover Me In Diamonds,” plus a rip-roaring new version of the classic “Manpire” — and they’re giving it away for free. Rad pricepoint! Get it!

Our pal Jacob recommends his pal Jessica’s jewelry. She’s based in the Mission, and uses a laser cutter based in Soma to cut the intricate shapes seen above. See her Etsy shop for lots more intricate shapes.

My buddy Joan, who recently returned after a stint in L.A., immediately got to work putting her new apartment building on a shirt. I don’t remember exactly where it is, but if you recognize it you can stalk her, although she lives with her boyfriend and he’s a pretty big dude, so be careful out there guys. Otherwise just buy the shirt!

Positive Destruction, the local music blog devoted to writing even more Oh Sees posts than I do, just put together a year-end best-of list:

The Bay Area absolutely smashed it in 2011, with some of our favorite artists releasing amazing albums, EPs and cassettes that we’ve been listening to endlessly this year. It was incredibly difficult to cull the past 12 months to our favorite 15 releases, but we did it anyway.

Thee Oh Sees’ “Carrion Crawler/The Dream” double-EP (pictured above) gets the #1 spot, which is fair, but I gotta say I think I like the Mikal Cronin record even better, so definitely buy it for the garage rocker on your shopping list. Read on for lots and lots of locally made gift ideas.
