Well mates, I am digging deap. My wife and I laid some goals for 2008 and were are pushing toward going indi in the next year or two. I have one company with three/four focuses
So here is what is happening...
Song Three Four Weddings: website
[link]We are working the custom wedding invitations like crazy. We have had more contacts then ever and are starting to book. I am praying that the trickle effect will start to gush. Working with brides and grooms is so great because they love design that is different and unique and are ultra open to whatever I propose.
Coloring Outside The Lines: website

Next, I started screen printing apparel which is fun, takes a lot of time until I can get a conveyor dryer and a 6 color press...but making apparel is too much fun.
Justin Owl Apparel website

I have printed three designs and use some pretty sweet processes to get super soft ink and overlay effects and some high mesh screens. It is a learning process and I am glad I haven't had to learn to many things the hard way. My basement spare bedroom has turned into a studio/darkroom/sweatshop. And speaking of which, we have taken a stand to only work with apparel companies which have coporate statements of fair labor or stances against sweatshop forced labor. So...American Apparel, Alternative Apparel and Gildan are our friends because they love people.

Well, it is looking like the program is going to air on Saturday mornings on Fox E/I programming. here is the website to watch my clip. I am the second link:
