Second time in over 40 years she has moved on her own. It was a good weekend!

Here is our design for the 2010 Black Mountain Marathon Mount Mitchell Challenge. To learn more about the race, check out our post from last year, or check out this article from the Asheville Citizen Times.

I was checking our web stats today and discovered we received a compliment. There is an interesting website called teefury that prints and sells only one shirt design per day. Once that day is over the shirt is gone.

A local Asheville artist Ian Leino’s design Polar Beer was chosen for one day last November. “Created entirely by hand with scratchboard, this design squarely inhabits the junction of cryptic LOST mythology with classic beer label design” I am not sure but I think it sold well over 1000 t’s in one day.  That is one hell of a design!

This is the part that makes Image 420 feel good…

With the success of the design and all of the people that did not get a shirt Ian wanted to do a reprint. That is how we met.

“For this printing, I’ve worked personally with a local screenprinter to ensure the absolute highest quality prints on American Apparel garments to make a shirt that both looks and feels even better than its original printing!”

That is awesome.  Thank you very much for the compliment. It means a lot to know our customers like the work we do. Good luck with your design Ian. Spend some time at Ian Leino’s website. We have. He is a very talented artist and designer.

We will get our 1928 Ford roadster pick-up on the road. As cold as it is in the garage right now it looks like it will be rolling out on a shirt before it rolls out of the garage.

This is one of two fellows who have been (remember innocent until proven guilty) spraying the word “Bacon” all over West Asheville. They were caught by our local police department ( Awesome job by them) on the roof of our neighbors building  9/10/2009 at 2:30 in the morning. See the video here. If you’ve been tagged by “Bacon” and would like to know who he is, email me or stop by and we will gladly show you the police report.
