Namaste

I love it when a fun and challenging project comes our way.  We had never printed yoga mats before but when one of our favorite customers came through with the request I jumped on it.  FYI, this is the first hand-print that we have done in nearly ten years.  Namaste!    

#TBT- Lenticular Screen Print

In August of ’96, I was waiting at a bus stop in the old downtown section of Prague. Across the street there was an unusual billboard. It was made up of vertical slats with different images printed on each side of the slat. The images were divided in such a way that you could only…

Web Wednesday – Made in USA, sort of…

Throwback Thursday–Finding Inspiration in Unlikely Places

You never know where inspiration will come from! Back in the mid to late 90’s, high density and dimensional printing was all the rage. We now had another print dimension to work with and I took to it like a duck to water. I was constantly looking for textures and patterns everywhere I went as inspiration…
