Scrap T-Shirt Love
Check out my recent post on the Boston Handmade blog about scrap t-shirts. It’s a visual ode to this oft-forgotten but important part of the screen printing process.

Custom T-Shirt Diary 76: Brookline Teen Center
I don’t know about you, but when I was a teen, I wanted to be heard. The teens at the recently launched Brookline Teen Center will certainly be seen and heard with their new Evan Webster Ink tees. We screen printed black ink on bright tees: safety green, safety orange and light turquoise. The Brookline Teen Center […]
Custom T-Shirt Diary 68: Maple Syrup Project 2012
Groundwork Somerville’s annual Maple Syrup Project is coming up! It’s a fantastic event which begins with the tapping of local (no, seriously local: Medford and Somerville) sugar maples. It culminates with a three-day boildown, the process of turning sap into delicious, thick maple syrup. This year Groundwork held an open design competition for their t-shirt’s main […]
Custom T-Shirt Diary 67: VisibilitY
The VisibilitY line was an experiment to test the boundaries of screen printing with reflective ink. The idea was to make a running t-shirt that was functional and fun to wear. To accomplish this we screen printed a design with reflective ink on performance wicking t-shirts. Most reflectivity on shirts these days come from strips of […]
Custom T-Shirt Diary 61: Electric City Plastic Ultimate
Electric City Plastic is the name of Union College’s Ultimate Frisbee team and we recently printed their pennies. We used a combination of screen printing and dye sublimation to put a couple different logos on their reversible jerseys. For reasons somewhat unknown to me, their logos include an elephant at a circus and an electric […]

Custom T-Shirt Diary 59: Where, Tech Gives Back

They participated in Tech Gives Back, an all-day event aimed at strengthening the bond between Boston’s numerous tech companies and its communities and organizations.
Custom T-Shirt Diary 58: Stay Puft
Stay Puft is a local Boston music production company. They recently put on a party in Downtown Boston. Pete and Nat wanted some t-shirts to wear to their party. And they wanted them to be big and bold. We screen printed the same logo in two opposite colorways. One has bright white ink on a […]
Custom T-Shirt Diary 57: Downtown Crossing SQRZ
In anticipation of selling t-shirts in the Downtown Crossing neighborhood of Boston we designed and screen printed a new SQRZ t-shirt. All our SQRZ apparel is based on the geography in Boston. The city is famous for having streets which evolved from old cow paths. It’s the opposite of a city grid like Chicago, New York, or […]
Custom T-Shirt Diary 56: CrossFit Bridgewater
Another CrossFitter, another great logo and cool custom t-shirt. Jason contacted me after talking to Amy at CrossFit Southie. He’s starting a CrossFit gym in Bridgewater and needed some great apparel. I ended doing two print runs for CrossFit Bridgewater and during the second pick-up Jason nonchalantly mentioned that he and his girlfriend had just […]
