This month’s Artist Spotlight is on Breanna, one of our Production Artists.  She has displayed some of her photo collages, which a fellow Inker described as “phosphorescent,” and I would have to agree.  The colors are luminous and the tropical subjects are a great contrast to the changing seasons. Breanna was first inspired [...]

Recently I spent a week updating our Senior Class shirts to 2011, and of course making some new designs.  I took a peek at some of the recent designs by our customers to spot any new trends.  It makes me feel less old knowing that one trend is still going strong among the upper classmen… Seniors RULE!  More specifically, they are the [...]

I spent this last week working on new design templates for College Groups and Clubs.  As you can imagine, there are a lot of groups out there!  Volunteers, Student Advisors, Law Students, Pre-Meds, Model UN, Exercise Clubs, Drama Societies, Dance Teams, Campus Journals, Music Groups, Singing Groups and, of course, Tailgating Fans.  I [...]

I decided to go through the orders today to find a sports design that could use a makeover.  Our customers have come up with really creative names for their teams. Some of the names are more family-oriented than others, but all of them are important. When it comes to sports, the name defines the team! I’ve noticed, though, that a [...]
