Not Sure on This One

I created this image when messing around with Photoshop, and had originally intended it to be part of the redesign of the webstore in some manner. It appears that the inclusion in the redesign didn't work out, so I'm not sure entirely what to do with this piece. Guess I'll just post it here.

Actually, there will be another redesign at some point in the future, I'm sure, and I'm certain this design might very well see the light of day again at that point. Especially since I'm in charge of such things. :p

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.

Brainstorming for Fun and Profit.

Well, I'm not sure how much profit there is in it, but when the Torched Threads crew gets together for a brainstorming session, there is always fun. Did I mention there is always beer as well? Probably explains the high level of fun that is had, as well as the surprisingly high level of productivity that results. Literally hundreds of ideas have sprung from these sessions, sitting around in the warm, humid South Texas evening, enjoying a few beers and everyone spitting out whatever comes to mind. Good times to be sure, now that summer is here. Although, to be truthful these things are going to have to go inside once July hits, I would guess. Just gets too damn hot and humid down here. Unless we can get a breeze. Guess we will find out about the profit thing down the road.

Kicking it Off

So what happens when two friends finally come in from the beach and decide it's time to drink a little less and do something interesting and creative? Well, in our case it is Torched Threads, and the torchedthreads.com website, not to mention this blog. So having said that, what can you expect? Well, from the shop and website, you can expect to have on offer the best quality original designs to be custom printed on T-Shirts, babydoll tees, and other apparel. Pretty much anything we can find that will stand still long enough to be printed on. :p

Out of the blog, you can expect to get an inside view of what goes on in our lives, our business, and the creative process that ends up in what you will be seeing on the website. As a matter of fact, it is even possible that you, the reader will have an opportunity to influence product design as we move forward and comments come in to the blog. Ah, the fun that will be had. Be sure to stick around.
