One legend is on the left in that photo. Artem Nadirashvili has done some of the most outlandishly innovative screenprints on t-shirts that I have ever seen. His shop midigroup is in Moscow in Russian. He is also a jazz fan and all around totally interesting dude. Next to him is French screenprinter Michel Caza who…
I saw some cool stuff at SGIA today. This is first of a few posts from here in Atlanta. Saati has a point source light that is LED, super fast exposure, constant exposure, energy saving, and what I like, super simple design. You can even control it from your phone via bluetooth if the control…
Just wrapped up a very busy day-1 of the show. Rick’s going to be sharing a few points of interest shortly, but here’s a nice look at the show floor from above…

I was discussing with a friend the other day that the word “FREE” is like crack. Stuff can be useless (like crap you find at a promotional products show for example) but if free, people will flock around like flies on … You get the idea. The British Library has made available 1,023,750 images. Free inspiration.…
