Hand Screen Printed Cards & Notebooks












Quirky artists and designers, Unite! We love these hand printed note cards and note books that have a sense of humor. Really, there should be more funny and delightful items like these in the world.

Okay, so not all of them are screen-printed (Bigfoot over there is actually a letterpress journal by the amazing blackbirdletterpress, located in Baton Rouge like us). But all are great hand-crafted designs by some quality folks.

We designed this quite a few months ago, and so we are psyched to see it finally actualized on a super soft, 100% cotton jersey t shirt.

Screen Printed Accent Pillows



Here's a new & funky design trend going on: Printed Pillows! All of these cool cushions are screen-printed and sewn by hand by the lovely diy, crafty community of Etsy. Love it, and never buying a pillow from generic retail stores ever again. Ever.

The pillows shown above all have either some underlying satire, a quirky design sense or are deserving of a hearty 'lol.' AKing Heart's Prism Pillow is a true hand printmaker's pillow through its reusing of test ink colors, and a cool bird tessellation pattern comes to life on another cushion cover. "Le Castor" is listed as a toy, but I would love a beaver on my couch, wouldn't you? So-called inspirational quotes, or rather, quotes with interesting innuendo, are another trend that deserves the limelight.



Clockwise from top left: AKing Heart's "Prism of Color Screenprint Test Pillow," Jael Studios "Keep Calm and Carry On on Burlap," Skinny Laminx's "Cloudbirds in Blackbird Cushion Cover," Earth Cadets' "I Like Your Bike," BUTTER Design Lab's "Let's Get It On,"and Moon and Sparrow's "Le Castor Flannel Toutou,"  via Etsy.com

Funny Screen Printed Housewares


Screen-printing isn't just for cool tshirts; it is a printmaking method that can be used on almost anything you can dream up. Above are a few inspirational ways to use silkscreen creatively to make uniquely designed coasters, art, coffee mugs & more for funky home decor and one-of-a-kind gifts (zombie mug, anyone?).

Zombies Attack! New T-Shirt


Recognize that Stick Figure Family Bumper Sticker? We decided to put our own unique twist: Zombies! NO ONE is safe, not even the family dog! This design was hand-drawn and then lovingly hand-printed onto a super soft 100% cotton tee.
