We are hoping that The Tire Station, Millers Cycle and Dula’s Automotive Alterations all have a blast at the Scraping the Smokies this weekend. This car above is a wild ride crafted over at Millers Cycle in Leicester NC.

I hate I will not be able to attend. We will be there in spirit. You guys are all awesome. A special thanks to Ricky at the Tire Station for all you do for us…

Here’s a description, from their website:

Once one of the major runs for moonshiners with revenuers hot on their bumper, the road today boasts some great twisties, wide sweepers and unsurpassed scenery. Mountain vistas, waterfalls and secluded lakes appear around nearly every corner. You can find good food, accommodations of every type and unique shops with unusual antiques and crafts created by mountain artisans.

Here is the design for the very first Moonshiner 28 shirt, designed in-house at Image 420.

The inaugural All Go West Festival in Asheville, NC is on Saturday, April 24th, 2010 from noon -10pm. The location for this free street festival is behind the Rocket Club and in front of Harvest Records on city streets Waynesville Avenue, Westwood Place, and Michigan Avenue in West Asheville. Right across from Image 420. Have fun.

Congratulations to the Westville Pub on eight great years. We hope that you have many more years of success. As for the rest of you, we recommend that you stop by he Pub tomorrow night, and help them celebrate in a manner similar to the last picture.

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.
