New Portland Studios Store Open
Written by admin in News

Friends of Portland Studios,

Today we launched a new online store with lots of new t-shirts and a few new posters.

Early next week, we’ll be selling this shirt as well:

And (late breaking news) a special limited edition full color poster for our friends in a band called Caedmon’s Call. 2×3 ft. Signed and numbered. $25.

More to come. Just wanted to see if we might whet your appetite a bit. Thanks so much for supporting our work. We really appreciate it more than you know.
