Head to ‘Gravity Falls’ with We Love Fine’s New Collection & Design Contest [Fashion]

We Love Fine has launched their latest t-shirt collection featuring designs from Disney's Gravity Falls. The cartoon series, which started airing in Summer 2012, has drawn an immense fan following with its quirky, crytozoological themes and has quickly become a favorite cartoon amongst the ComicsAlliance staff. Indeed, two of our occasional contributors, Chris Haley and Eugene Ahn, host The Gravity Falls Gossiper, a podcast dedicated entirely to the show. So obviously we're pleased to see We Love Fine's new Gravity Falls collection and new t-shirt design contest, which will be judged by series creator Alex Hirsch and series art director Michael Rianda!
