Summer Time!!!

2011-06-03T11:57:00.000-04:00

We just noticed that we have not blogged in a very long time...
bouncing around the internet blogging, facebooking, tweeting is time consuming when bouncing around the shop designing, plotting, printing....

But we're excited and wanted to share information about the Cincinnati Soap Box Derby!

"The Cincinnati Soap Box Derby on June 18th is expecting its largest field ever since the event's return to the city in 2006."

This local organization is looking for boys and girls, ages 8 through 17-years old, who want to drive in the Derby. A limited number of cars are available. You can sign up for your chance to get one of these on the Derby's website, www.cincysbd.com

Race day is Saturday, June 18 and typically it is a day-long event.

2010-08-09T23:07:00.003-04:00

keeping up with all the online bits is tough when you're working hard in the studio.

I wonder if we post more blogs, if we'll have less spam comments. Every few days the most recent blog post gets a comment, usually in characters that I can not read. sometimes just odd phrases.

So here we go. blogging... and wondering if anyone reads.

We're on our facebook page most. It's so quick and easy to say hello and post recent projects.

Custom Gifts for the Holiday

2009-12-01T11:43:00.009-05:00

Must blog more regularly... we've been posting on our twitter and facebook fan page more lately.

We had a busy November working with clients creating personalized items for themselves, their business and holiday gatherings...

We printed neon green on royal blue tote bags for a Thanksgiving family reunion.

We had the pleasure of meeting with Puppy Luv and Josephine from the Funnie Company to print these photo t-shirts for a trip they were going on. The photo came out a little dark but they were super bright... the prettiest clowns I ever saw.

And here comes Christmas and New Years! I love Winter Solstice, crisp air, hot drinks, soft blankets.

We printed and displayed this banner on our shop. Time to order custom gifts for the holidays!

We can print photos on t-shirts, sweatshirts, tote bags, mousepads and puzzles.

We can print graphics and phrases on apparel including long sleeve t-shirts, polo shirts and hoodies.

Great gifts for all ages.

If you need a gift for a small business owner a shirt, auto magnets, yard signs, banners or business cards are received really well and are useful!

This is a yard sign we printed for Beckett Construction recently.

Call today to arrange your custom order!

We've got Spirit, YES we do!

2009-09-18T13:41:00.008-04:00

We've got School Spirit Stickers, How 'bout YOU!?!

We'll work with your schools programs to meet your individual group needs.

A popular sticker style is the vinyl cut decal in 1 or 2 colors with no minimum order to work with whatever size your club or school organization is. These decals allow us to accommodate large and small groups. Many mascots, logos and sports graphics available. Bring your own too.

These next decals are ink printed on white or clear (shown) vinyl. There is a minimum order on this sticker style but the higher quantity and lower cost allows for more school booster fundraising opportunity.

Personalized spirit yard signs! 24" x 18" corrugated plastic and a stepstake to easily showcase in your yard.

Spirit is not limited to school and sports programs, call us about stickers for your motorcycle club, boy and girl scout packs and troops or any other group or organization you participate in that you would like to show your spirit for!

A nice woman came in needing a gift for her son-in-law bubble artist, explaining he was like a bubble pied piper of sorts at events in his area.
