This is the 4th in our series on what to check out at the Long Beach ISS show. Of course be sure to come by our Ink Kitchen “Know-It-All” booth on the far left wall. “Far left” and “off the wall”, that’s us. It is booth #157. We’ll also be tweeting and posting up a…
Interesting story here developed over a couple days at Mirror Image. Todrick Hall called and needed shirts in a hurry. He of the over 40 million views on Youtube. He loves the Wizard of Oz and has the ink to prove it on his arm (though I neglected to get a photo of that.) He’s…
We did the merch for Farm Aid 2014 and arrived early and counted it all in. Hats off to Ruth and Carlos and the Mirror Image staff as a couple thousand items and the counts were off by less then 5 total pieces. A couple of my favorite people with a couple of my favorite…
My wife Pam (social media director of the Ink Kitchen!) and I are going to work with a Polish friend of ours who is part of an international group of volunteers that is putting on an awesome event in the country of Georgia. It is in a location which shares borders with Armenia and Azerbaijan, a…

The photo included New Orleans great Allen Toussaint…

At the site you can buy the shirts for find links…

It was for the publisher Fotofolio and it had to be approved by Robert Doisneau himself. We separated and printed this job 16 times until we were satisfied with the result and when the sample…
TBT – This appeared almost exactly one year ago. Marty Bailey (left) is the CMO of American Apparel. He’s the man behind the scenes there. He is a big part of their success and also in how they treat their workers. (It is simple, he said once, “respect everyone.”) I asked him about ten years…
