I'm trying to get all of my one-of-a-kind (i.e. no longer available) blank stock off the shelves so I can move completely to made-to-order, and this seemed like just the season to clear off the longsleeved items that had been languishing unprinted. Head on over to the...
I know, I know - it's been awhile since I've done a new design for the shop. But I've had the itch to draw this for awhile, and finally sat down to do it this past weekend. So, behold, the next design coming soon to a t-shirt near you: That's a pretty cool looking...
I am having a printing marathon over here as I try to get ready for my craft show/party this weekend. (If you're in the Austin area and want an invite, just let me know!) My office is kind of a disaster area right now. Prints laid flat on every available surface to...
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...

As a screenprinter, one of the trickiest things to do is print white ink on a dark fabric. Most regular white screenprinting inks are semi-transparent, which is fine for mixing with other colors and printing on lighter backgrounds. But for direct coverage on something...
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. 🙂
