Quick Turn to Ferguson

Two things about this photo: 1. Uber damn rush job 2. Screenprinter involved in current events directly Rush: I got a call on my cell from Amnesty International at about 1:30PM to see if we could get shirts to Missouri by the next morning. I checked that we could push some things and just work…

Misdirected Monday, the Sox Stink

Reported in the Boston Herald is that there is a guy selling hockey related shirts, a brand he calls Stinky Socks. If you play hockey, all your stuff usually stinks. You sweat, you put your gear in a bag, and typically you don’t wash it often enough. Hence the hockey sticks logo with the name “Stinkysocks.”…

Georgia, and I Don’t Mean Peaches

My wife Pam (social media director of the Ink Kitchen!) and I are going to work with a Polish friend of ours  who is part of an international group of volunteers that is putting on an awesome event in the country of Georgia. It is in a location which shares borders with Armenia and Azerbaijan, a…

I See London, I See France…

My good pal Carl Williams who works for the ACLU showed me this clever site. I’ve seen many shirts about free speech and the U.S. Constitution, but these Fourth Amendment garments take the cake, they are very creative expressions about unreasonable search and seizure.     AMENDMENT IV The right of the people to be secure in…

Indecent Exposure

Our shop and a friend’s shop were all ready to print shirts of the fight poster design for the upcoming Floyd Mayweather-Marcos Maidana boxing match and were told somewhat abruptly that the job had been cancelled by the client. We didn’t really know what had happened until we spotted this article about a tweet heard round the creative world…

#TBT – The Customer from Heck

For this Throwback Thursday I’m sharing a video a shop made a few years ago. This is painful to watch. It is also hilarious, and I think nearly every line in it I have actually heard, and many of the lines I have heard over and over. There are a bunch of swears, don’t watch if…

Web Wednesday: PosiCharge

A while back I did a post on PosiCharge, a new technology developed by Sanmar: Synthetic fabric without the dye migration.  It’s no joke, but I’m glad to see that our friends at Sanmar have sense of humor enough to produce this great commercial…

Hoover Dam

Let me say upfront that this post has little to do with screenprinting.  But, I thought it was worth posting as I’m sure that most of you, like me, end up in Las Vegas on occasion to attend any one of the many trade shows in our industry. Between the SGIA Expo, PPAI Expo, MAGIC, and…

MAGIC Monday

I’m here at MAGIC Market Week again, working on behalf of SGIA to educate on decorated apparel practices.  My friends Lon  and Jason developed this print exclusively for the show.  Two things about Lon: 1. He knows that “shiny” is best way to grab attention at a show 2. He’s not afraid to print big dots Good stuff……

Domingo Gigante: ¡Evita las reglas!

¿El diseño está torcido, descentrado, demasiado alto o girado a la derecha o a la izquierda? Si te lo estás preguntando posiblemente sea una muestra a desechar. Si dejas que algo llegue al cliente y éste saca la regla estás acabado. Las camisetas las hacen (y cargan) seres humanos reales y esto supone que no…
