In 2005 while trying to help raise money for Katrina disaster relief, we came up with this mosaic style design using a high density base giving the tiles some height and overprinting the various colors on top. We’ve pulled this style out of the archives with a remix for WMBR which is a community radio…

The other day I received these promotional Nano samples from our friends at Hanes. I was impressed, for once, to receive decorated garment samples from a manufacturer which actually incorporated tasteful design and quality printing. Well done Hanes, well done.

A good customer recently sent me a quote request for a large volume program. Due to the size of the program, pressure from the “end user”, and because it was “commodity printing”. I was told that the job was going out for bid and that I needed to be very competitive. Being put in a bid situation is…
