Justice Team Tee

Posted: December 23rd, 2009 | Author: Adam | Filed under: Merch, Portfolio | 2 Comments »

A month ago my good friend Monica came to me with an idea. She heads up the Justice Team as a part of the Campus Ministries at Central College and they were looking for a way to spread the word about their team and also do a little good. The idea: we design a kickin’ tee and they  sell them on campus to raise money for an organization doing good. Since we’re fans of all those things (Central, faith, justice and t-shirts) we went all in and came up with the design above. It sold well on campus (160 tees!) so we thought we’d make it available in the new year. As always, they are hand printed on the extra soft + super sexy American Apparel Tri-Blend Track Tee and will soon be available in the shop. Below you’ll see the finished product and a little something on the symbolism behind the design.

Artist Series Journals

Posted: December 23rd, 2009 | Author: Adam | Filed under: Portfolio | No Comments »

We’ve wrapped up production of a small run of handmade journals (80 total). They’re small in size but not in content as a plethora of goodness in contained there in: blank pages, stickers, quotes, art with a dash of political commentary. This is the first of many Artist Series journals and I’m excited about what’s coming down the chute. We’re going to include them in as many orders as we can until they run out. If you want a stand alone just drop me an e-mail and we’ll work something out…like $5…or a trip to Subs’N More.

NPC Youth Hoody

We designed and printed these all-ovah! hoodies for Joel and the NPC Youth posse. Chances are it’s just as cold in Peoria as it is in Holland (23°) so you know they’ll be loving them.

Elevator Up - Finished Hoody

It’s super rewarding to take a product from start to finish; and even more so to do it for good people. The pics above are of some hoodies we recently designed and printed for our friends at Elevator Up . I’m excited to start seeing them around Holland and GR, where one of their most recent projects (The Factory) is taking off. In fact, I’ll be coworking there for a bit this afternoon. Any good tips for parking?

New Aprons

Aprons: because it’s nice to have clothing that doesn’t look like Care Bears crapped on them.

West Ottawa Soccer

West Ottawa Soccer

After playing two kinds of football in college one acquires a hearty amount of rugged athletic gray tees. The older they (and consequently I) get the more they become a symbol of all things college and not just athletic participation; the comradery, road trips, late nights and honest conversations about life, faith and meaning…maybe even some learning too. :) Last night we printed tees for our good friend Chad and his footballers. Hopefully they’ll share the fame fate as our old tees from school; stained, worn thin and too small, but full of nostalgia.
