1000 Garment Graphics

Over at popidiot we  received our copy of 1000 Garment Graphics which you can order from Amazon -

It was designed and edited by Jeffrey Everette of El Jefe Design for Rockport Publishing. Once again El Jefe did a bang up job. The book is about printing on garments, mostly t-shirts but includes many other things such as hats, bags, belts, etc. If you love personal, quirky, mostly hand printed wares done by artists for the love of it, most of which is being done without the constraints of clients, this book is a great place to start. There's a lot of amazing work in the book. Some by friends such as Spaghetti Kiss, Adhouse Books and Squidfire and a lot of stuff by folks we're unfamiliar with but love being exposed to.

Some might say that it's full of ephemeral trashy pop culture junk and on some levels they'd be right. But we at popidiot love that kind of thing, for better or worse it's our nature.

Team 8 Press gets Press!

Check us out in today's issue of Brick! Page 13, or go here to read it online. Brick did a great job with this article. They are also a reliable place for quirky opinions on current music, movies, comics, and other art you may or may not have already heard of. And who ever heard of a Richmond weekly with current online content?? These guys are really getting their act together.

And a very special thanks to Dwayne Carpenter and Bird Cox.

A Bit of Press for Team 8 Press

Another huge thanks goes out to Noah of Skull-A-Day. His poster got features on I Want Your Skull - a blog featuring skeletal artwork. There is a lot of great poster art featured and a good bit of it is screen printed. And all of it is skeletal. Yeah for our bony internal support structure!
