I have been happily working on my new website for the last couple of weeks, but I realized that to make a website interesting you need to have images with people. Well, of course, we’re working low budget so getting a real model is out of the question; And tracking down someone else to model [...]

The Perfect Fit Graphic Tshirt

(product code 0804)
Of course I love tshirts, especially graphic tees, but I have always found most graphic tees to have a horrible fit for a woman’s body. It has to do with keeping the retail cost low. It’s cheaper to offer a unisex shirt rather than offering men’s and women’s tshirts. Unisex shirts always look [...]

Definition: Clip art is a catchall term for several types of non-photographic graphic images. The name comes from the books of graphic images once used as a graphics source – the users would cut out or “clip” the desired artwork from the book to place into layouts. Later, it was common to scan the images [...]
Artist Dropcloth Handmade Totes
Posted in art stuff, graphic tshirts on December 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
A couple of weeks ago, I was toying with the idea of offering handmade totes with some organic jersey cotton fabric I had. The fabric turned out to flimsy to make a proper tote so I thought canvas would be a better bet. I had these old cotton dropcloths from when I used to paint [...]

Old School DIY Letterpress
Posted in art stuff, block printing on December 21, 2007 | 4 Comments »
In my last post I mentioned Hatch Show Print. They are one of the oldest running letterpress shops in the US. They use hand-caved wood blocks and old-school letterpress to create their posters. Super bad-ass peeps and a major inspiration for me. I have yet to be in their shop which is located in Nashville. [...]

Ok, I can’t keep secrets. I don’t have a poker face. I usually say whatever is on my mind. Whenever I give something to Adam, it’s harder for me to not give the gift up. I get so excited, I just want him to share that excitement immediately. And he’s hard to shop for because [...]

Can you picture this on my back? Well, I have been for the last couple of weeks. This is the tattoo I plan on getting across my back. The picture above is a photoshop file that allowed me to figure out placement. I’ve been wanting to get another tattoo for awhile and finally I’m ready. [...]
The Ghetto Graphic Tshirt

No not that ghetto–the Ghetto on Broadway. The design is taken from an 1890s Broadway poster. Isn’t it just sooo fab?
I found a small image of this poster in a book I had, but I wanted a bigger image to see the details. I luckily found it on the NYC public library website which is [...]
