Preparing.

We released 4 new prints on monday and we are overwhelmed by the amazing response we are getting from everyone. We can’t thank you all enough for all the kind words and continued support you keep giving us. Since we have been receiving so many orders as of late, we have decided to dedicate a room in our basement as a “shipping room”. Before the room was piled up with tons of boxes of unused stuff which will now call the attic home. We would like to decorate this room full of posters, so if anyone out there has any busted prints, or test prints, or anything they would like to donate to the shipping room let us know, We would love that! The cash register is what we use to ring people up.

We would also like to give a huge shout out to our good friend Mitch, who is basically apart of the silent giants, and probably our biggest supporter. He has helped us so much through the pass few months and we don’t know how to thank him enough. He runs a couple of awesome sites, and he also sells our posters. So if we happen to sell out of any of our prints, check:

Street Fair Update

The weekend of Sept. 20th was something that i think none of us will ever forget. We met so many incredible people which could lead to a huge amount of opportunities. Each day was filled with tons of support from friends and family who came to check out our printing process along with a ton of new faces that we hope we inspired somewhat. Printing outside was definitely a different environment than we are used to but everything turned out really smooth. This art fair was also preparation for flatstock next year, which we will be attending and i can’t wait to see how amazing it’s going to be. Anyways check out the photos below, there is a sneak preview to a few new posters we will be releasing on monday, so be sure to check back then.

Again, thank you to everyone for all your continued support at the art fair, family, friends old and new, and to anyone who is supporting our passion. Thanks to Caitlyn for making the cookies, The Lovely Angela Duncan for making us our signs, and shout out to Megan and Ka for coming out also. Megan has some photos of the event too, so check her flickr and she will post some im sure

Street Fair

This coming weekend (Sept 20-21) we will be in Ferndale at the DIY Street Fair. We will have all of our prints for sale, along with a couple new ones that we are doing especially for this event. Prints sold here are in very limited quantities, so be sure to pick them up. Also, we are going to be doing live printing while we are down there, so if you are interested in how silk screening works, come hang out at our tent with us, we will have some goodies for you to take too. We are sorry again for the lack of updates, however we are currently insanely busy and are doing our best to keep everyone up to date. The Bon Iver print is now sold out. We will have a few available this weekend that we were saving just for this event.

Prussia

We are back, and we have new material for everyone to see. We have been printing for a few months now, and we have learned so much stuff. Experimenting is something that none of us shy away from. So when this job approached we got really excited. The process went similar to printing posters, however the stock was much thicker and ate up more ink. Everything came together and went pretty smooth, we are all happy with how everything came out. After we printed these, they were shipped to a die cutter, who also glued them together. The vinyls were printed at Archer Records (http://www.archerrecordpressing.com/) and they sound great. The vinyl is released by Common Cloud (http://www.commoncloud.com/) who also have a few more photos of the process along with a video of some printing, so go check that out if you’re interested. The vinyl is super limited to only 300 and it comes with a digital download card, so its worth every penny.

Please make sure you check out Prussia. They are all super nice dudes and they are also going on a short spurt of tour dates along the east coast, so if they happen to stop by your hometown, be sure to check out their live show.
