Twist Around - Again!

Twist Around shirts have returned for a limited time. Inspired by the county fair ride, these Twist shirts feature a 3 color front/3 color back design. The colors on the example are approximate. The spinning Tilt -a- Whirl car will be smaller and centered between the shoulder blades on the back of the shirt. Those familiar with our pre-order formula know we only print what is ordered. Previously offered for Summer 2011, there will now be options for Long Sleeve and Hoodies.

I will be using Gildan products on this run. Please Google search the following style numbers for any questions on sizing. Short Sleeves - 5000 (tall sizes are sport grey only), Long Sleeves - 2400, Ladies 64000L (soft fit), Hoodies - 18500. The color will be a light/sky blue.

Orders will close on Sunday October 7th. - Shirts will ship approximately 10 days after that.


Orders are closed.

I will be using Gildan for these garments. Please Google these garment numbers (i.e Gildan 2400) for questions about sizing. Short Sleeve (2000), Long Sleeve (2400), Ladies (64000L), and Hoodies (18500). Sizes run from S to 3XL and XL Tall - 3XL Tall  (2000T). Tall sizes are available in Sport grey only.

Colorado 2012 Poster - Metal Edition

I'd like to introduce a short run of seven posters screen printed on metal. The four color screen print is coated with a clear acrylic to prevent flaking or scratching. The "posters" will be slightly longer than the 1st edition, but the same width (8 x15).  The edges and corners of the metals have been sanded down smooth.

We are very happy with the finished product. The Print Monkey completed the printing and finishing on these this week. These will be signed on Saturday in Denver. There will be three of these available. These will not be listed for sale on the website. Please contact me at jiggslikesphish@gmail.com if you are interested in obtaining one of these.

For more detailed pictures, see the listing for the poster on Expresso Beans.

Colorado 2012 Poster Process

Finished art.
It was a challenge trying to capture the industry of Commerce City in a fun way. The idea of turning a factory into a reel to reel came out of some other doodles for this one.The smoke actually happened by accident, which is always nice.

First reel to reel sketch
The last elements to come together on this one were the loudspeaker and the pipes. At that point I think the idea was floated to try and use a metallic copper to pull off a realistic color. I am excited to see how that comes out.


Follow along with this post as the posters get printed. I will post updates here during the process as I get them.

Only 50 are being made available for online sales.
