MLB still apparently can’t have normal human beings observe their new uni’s before releasing them. The absolutely dreadful Florida Marlins (last place in their division and with a wretched roster) released their new City Connect uniforms. After the debacle of Texas hats that read more like boobs in Spanish check this out:
Gildan announced its first quarter results and they are about the same as expected and about the same as last year for the first quarter. You can read the report yourself here. Most interesting is probably that there isn’t much of interest in the report. Despite the current chaos of the current US administration’s shifting…
Sometimes we get asked to recreate graphics from customer photos of old prints. In this project, I challenged ChatGPT with a specific request: to recreate a floral and bird graphic from a T-shirt with complete fidelity.

Proofreading at the Speed of Sight: AI could Reinvent Visual Spellchecking Even the most brilliant creative can get torpedoed by one rogue letter.

A late winter visit to Atlantic City may not appeal to everyone, but inside the convention center, the energy was unmistakable—filled with the spirit of renewal, growth, and excitement for the season ahead. Ink Kitchen once again brought…
I’m participating in a Shop Talk today at the Atlantic City Impressions show. It is a good time to review a few things that bear repeated attention. Here are some previous columns on curing ink, which is more difficult than one would imagine. Ink Curing. Read and Repeat How to Cure Ink: Exact Instructions Cure…
I hear a surprising amount of negativity about the Atlantic City Impressions show. If you really check it out there is a lot going on in AC both at the Expo and in the area. It isn’t the quickest ride from the Philly airport, but with traffic, most of the other shows aren’t exactly close…
