Zombie Hunter Tanks 0

Printed some awesome Zombie Hunter tanks for my good friend Geoff. I love how these turned out. They might be a simple one color print, but thats why I think I like it so much. Its not a ton of neon colors and just too much. Also, Tanks are way back in style. I get asked for Tank quotes all the time. We have printed a ton lately.

Upstate Merch at Fest 9 0

We are going to be making the trip down to Gainsville, FL from October 29th – 31st to attend Fest 9! We are super stoked to go. We will be there as fans and dudes just looking to have fun. Im sure we will be walking around talking to dudes about tees, but mainly looking to watch some awesome bands. The thing that makes me the most pumped about going to Fest is that there are so many bands on it that I havent heard yet. I love listening to new stuff and seeing them live. Here are some bands that I already listen to, and am stoked to see again.
- Defeater
- Strike Anywhere
- A Wilhelm Scream
- Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
- Campaign
And tons more…

We recently printed these tees for a huge car show here in my home town of Whitney Point, NY. Its always cool to do something super local and see people appreciate your work.

Every Time I Die: Shit Happens, The Series? 0


If you havent checked out the new Every Time I Die: Shit Happens Series, you should Do It Now! When the Shit Happens dvd came out, I watched that thing at least 30 times. I couldn’t stop laughing at all the dumb stuff they did all the time. Its exactly how tour is. Just doing super dumb stuff to make each other laugh non-stop. Well anyway, they came out with a series for this. Its generally about 5-6 minutes long and they come out every Wednesday. Check it out Here: http://www.vans.com/ETID

The man.. The Myth.. The Legend.. 0


Haha. I love this picture. Kyle looks like such a Doof. You always see just his arms and torso in our portfolio pics, but this is what I get to see when Im taking those pictures. Kyle is my partner in crime. He is half owner and head of production / model. I just thought I would post this because it made me laugh.

You could be the lucky customer to snag one of these bad boys! I am just setting up the artwork and stuff for it, but looking to print some soon. I will try to get a bunch of Tees and Hoodies made so you can get some cool freebees. Let me know if you would like one and I’ll try to get you one.

Taking a Half Day 0

It has been a crazy nice week here in Upstate New York. We have been cooped up in the shop all week and decided that we were going to take a half day today and go to the lake.

After the lake, we decided to drive over to our friends pond and use the zip-line.
