| Prints of the Month - 2008 |
July
- Most interesting print in July. Another design by Jarrod Harrison, who did the design that was selected as print of the month for February. This beat out a boring 5 color design for print of the month, because it is more interesting and artistic but not nearly as complicated as the 5 color print. This is orange-pigmented discharge and white discharge on Gildan dark chocolate shirts. 220 shirts were printed and repeat prints are being done as they are sold for a fund raiser for the client's daughter. |
June
- Coolest print in June, a 3 color designed by Jewel Devereaux. Bombs
and booty. Done with Matsui waterbased inks for the flesh and yellow,
and the brown that I used for a trap was a Sienna Brown by Union
Aerotex. Super soft print on Women's Hanes cap sleeve shirts. |
May - Order of 55 shirts for Shellbark Hollow Farm, which raises goats and produces goat milk and goat cheese. They gave us some sample cheeses and they were delicious. |
April - Texas Orange Gildan 50/50 shirt with straight discharge and black ink. The polyester fibers didn't discharge so the orange fabric turned to yellow. |
March
- White pigmented discharge done on black 2001 American Apparel shirts,
although this sample print was done on a navy Gildan g200 shirt. White
discharge produces a very bright white on a variety of brands and
styles, while keeping a very soft feeling on the shirt. We use white
dicharge instead of normal white ink whenever possible. |
February
- Small run of white shirts with this as a three-color front print, and
the shirts had a three-color back print also. Designed by Jarrod
Harrison, this was for a youth ministry in Dotham, Alabama. |
January
- My largest discharge order yet, about 300 shirts. This was for a
Japanese knowledge bowl for high school students in Honolulu. This was
done with straight discharge ink on Gildan Blue Dusk and Forest Green
shirts. |
