Replacement

One good thing about owning a t-shirt printing company is that once in awhile you can just print something you just feel like printing. (Some days it seems like the only good thing…) I saw these shirts online in a photo when the Replacements played last year after a long hiatus. I didn’t see the…

World’s Friendliest Airport

I live in what unfortunately is one of the unfriendliest towns in the world Boston and the airport (Logan) definitely makes my top ten for worst airports. They seem to treat everyone as a good-for-nothing criminal and it goes downhill from there. It doesn’t have to be that way.The Munich airport has places to work…

TBT – Welded

Our pal and co-conspirator KC Hruby:  “Yesterday as I was dropping Rick off at his mechanic’s (The Diesel Ninja)  garage I noticed one of the techs wearing an old and familiar tee shirt. The “Big rhino weld” tee which was the first shirt I developed when I started at Ecko in 2000. This was my…

Web Wednesday: This Is Screen Printing, We Are Screen Printers

Rose colored glasses, but a great video anyway.

Web Wednesday: Daffy Dan

A couple of years ago while trolling the streets of Cleveland with my buddy Jacob Edwards, co-founder/co-owner of Jakprints, we came across a typical-to-Cleveland brick building with a giant sign reading “Daffy Dan’s Custom Screenprinting” complete with a badass cutout caricature of Dan himself!  “What’s that???” I said aloud.  “Oh, that’s Daffy Dan, he’s been…

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…
