The Experiment Continues...

Ah, and what would that be, you may ask? Truth is, we aren't telling just yet. Yes, I know. I hate it when folks do that to me as well, so I'll give you a little bit of a hint. We are working on a proprietary dye/staining process for a new line of t-shirts. Right now, we have an idea of where we would like to end up, and how to get there, but whether it will work out or not is anyone's guess. Half of the fun in anything is trying new things, and we are certainly not afraid to do that.

So far, we have been working on the new process for a few days, but we won't really know if it's promising or not until the very end, which will be either today or tomorrow, depending on how long we can hold our curiosity at bay. I'm pushing for today.

And the Designs keep Coming.

For those that haven't checked the webstore recently, there have been a large amount of new designs that have found their way out of the art department and onto t-shirts. Or at least eight or so. Yes, many a new design for your viewing pleasure, or wearing pleasure as the case may be. It's all very exciting, especially since there are more on the way, just over the horizon, trying to claw their way onto a tee for the website. I'm looking forward to seeing how some of the yet to be seen designs end up looking.

Finally...A Shirt Inspired by The Transformers Arrives.



Well, we've been working on this one for a while, and I have been promising its arrival for a while as well, but now it's here. The love child of nostalgia and humor has brought forth this multi color printed tee as a tribute to the old transformers/go-bots cartoons of the eighties, with a twist of humor for us all. We like this one and we think you will too.

As always, buy this cool and colorful design at Torched Threads or on Ebay.

More Than Meets the Eye?

So, raining all day and night, that's how it's been. But on a positive note, one of the long awaited new designs that I speak of so often should be making its debut sometime soon. I'm guessing it will be tonight. The prototype shirt is done, and it looks great (if I do say so myself). Two color print on a white shirt, inspired by our childhoods, as so many things are, more specifically, all those transforming robot toys, like The Transformers and Go-Bots, etc. Ah, to grow up in the seventies and eighties. Anyway, stay tuned for more soon. Very soon.

Texas Flood

First off, Happy Belated Fourth of July to everyone. It's been a very wet fourth in these parts. Nothing but rain all week, well rain and flash flood warnings. Not what one would hope for on a holiday known for fireworks and barbecues. Work has been kinda slow around the shop, hampered by the extreme humidity which has made work not only hot and sticky, but also a bit off. Humidity just makes everything harder and take longer than it should. Guess that's just its way, but it's enough to drive a hard working screen printer crazy some days.
