One of the many things I do is work with cool stores on Maui and do custom design work and green silkscreen runs for them. I don't want to be a mass run silkscreen printer there are plenty of excellent print companies on Maui already doing that. I love doing the smaller more wearable art style tshirt runs. I feel doing this allows flexibility and I can also experiment with different Green inks for those jobs since everyone wants something different. Maui is a great place to do this since there are so many different types of specialty stores there. Anyhow I'm off to work on some of my own shirts.
Have a great day,

Santa Fe Dreaming
I've been visiting with family for the past few weeks in beautiful Santa Fe, NM. One of the first places I visited was Santa Fe Hemp where I've been selling my wearable art shirts now for the past 5 years. It's one of the truly unique cool stores in santa fe and the owner Kathleen her Daughter Kelly and Husband Josh work the store. They are all very creative super nice people and I highly recommend paying a visit there is you ever get the chance. After that visit I went to my other favorite place W21(warehouse 21) where I worked as a silkscreen printer, teacher, graphic designer/web designer for about 4 years. Since this is a silkscreen blog I had to include this visitation. They are not a green studio but do offer both plastisol and water based printing services to the community and it supports a great cause. I learned alot while working there in regards to printing. All the gear I currently have I feel that I have finally earned after years of getto printing;).... I still love and do lots of hand printing but it's also lovely to have a press that allows me to do whatever I want...
Anyhow I hope anyone whose reading this has a lovely new year:)
