Arte para las camisetas, no arte para todo

Demasiado a menudo un cliente insiste en que la imagen de sus camisetas debe de estar a conjunto con los carteles publicitarios, señales, posters, carpas, anuncios revistas, etc. Farm Aid y el artista que creó el logo, Kathy Keller hicieron un trabajo estupendo, especialmente creando variaciones para web, pósters, tickets y lo más importante para…

Hiring

Marshall Atkinson’s blog has some good tips on hiring for screenprinting. I particularly like his idea of hiring for the right attitude and then training for the skills. I have a couple simple additions. – Don’t hire people to unload or catch only, if they can’t load don’t permanently hire them. An eye for quality…

Simple Machines

I just love simple machines. This heat transfer machine for putting on labels is fast, accurate and safe. We have done hundreds of thousands of transfer labels with it. – You need two hands to make it come down (a green button on each side) so you can’t get your hands caught under the stamper…

Winning and Losing Baseball (Shirt Version)

I talked to my good friend and great sports mind Mike Manning this morning. He said he loved that the Royals won the wild card play-off game in a walk-off 12th inning comeback. “Even with all those ex-Sox guys on the A’s?” I asked. “We’ve got tons of inventory in Royal and we had nothing…

Pawtucket Film Festival Shirts Through the Years

I have been producing the Pawtucket Film Festival for 15 years and we are in the midst of the 15th this weekend. Of course we have to have a new t-shirt every year. Here are about half of them on display.

Keri Ambrosino, Judy Winters and I combined to make this year’s Pawtucket Film Festival shirt. Of course there was some help from the former Soviet Union in the mix. There are millions of reasons to be horrified by the policies of the former Soviet Union, but they did stop Hitler and they did produce some of…

Todrick Hall, New Model Customer

Interesting story here developed over a couple days at Mirror Image. Todrick Hall called and needed shirts in a hurry. He of the over 40 million views on Youtube. He loves the Wizard of Oz and has the ink to prove it on his arm (though I neglected to get a photo of that.) He’s…

Zombies!

I love making fun of big corporations, so its nice to see that parody still can exist in our system. Here’s an article saying that t-shirts saying Zombies Eat Flesh that look like Subway Eat Fresh might have some legal ground to stand on.  

Art for Shirts is Not Art for Everything

All too often a customer insists that their image on their shirts should match their billboards, signs, posters, table tents, magazine adverts, etc. Farm Aid and the artist for their logo Kathy Keller did a great job of creating a logo, but having variations for web, poster, tickets, and importantly for us shirts. Putting a…
