Today this little blog turns 2! And it's surprisingly a big deal. I guess I never thought I'd actually stick with it this long. A large part of that is because of you guys. Yes, this is a valuable creative outlet for me, but without knowing that -miraculously- there...
Just a quick note to let you all know that my latest screen design, the quatrefoil / four-leaf clover, is now live in the shop. See a few of the items below, and watch for more in the coming two weeks! I'll also be doing a larger version of this same design later this...
A few fun announcements for the shop today. 1. ALL of my designs are now available as custom art prints where you can choose the paper and ink colors for a completely customized piece. I figured out what standard sizes would work best for each design, made a nifty...
I added some new listings to the shop yesterday, including some new long sleeved shirts. You can check out the full selection of cold weather appropriate offerings here. I'm also working on the next design for the shop over this weekend, and should be debuting...

One of the things I get asked the most when I say I run a screenprinting shop is where I get my ideas/how I come up with the designs. I usually just go with the short answer, "from my head," but it's not actually that simple most of the time. So I thought I'd sit down...
Behold the next design that will be hitting the shop on various items: This one is for my brother-in-law, who has an intense fascination with elephants. 🙂
Prints of the new phoenix design hit the shop this past weekend! Take a look (more to come in the next few weeks): Fiery colors obviously work best with the theme of the design, but I kind of really want to do one in a blue-green. Could I get away with that, do you...
