I've won something!

I was interviewed by Comic Geek Speak's Brian Deemer and Freddie Williams II from DC comics this evening. I thought I was going to soil my undies, folks. Now, I can hold my own in front of a classroom of insane 14 year olds and play a gig in front of anyone without getting nervous but this interview had me quaking like Jemima in a tumble drier. Anyway, despite my nerves and the fact I couldn't hear everything Mr Williams was saying, I got through it and won a great prize from the show. I'm very… Continue

Realising my vision for creatives

It's taken a while to realise a vision I had almost a year ago. After spending many many hours trying to market my sculpting workshops online I realised that there must be so many of these small privately run arts based workshops and classes all over the world that just sit below the online radar, be… Continue

Man Earns $85,000 From Selling Ads on T-Shirt

I truly admire the entrepreneurial spirit of this man in Florida. Jason Sadler, 26, a former marketing professional from Florida, not only sells ad space on his torso, but also offers to wear ads on his shirt. His Internet company called iwearyourshirt.com has begun selling t-shirt ads in 2008. The idea was to print the client's ad or logo on the t-shirt and then use social media tools to pro… Continue

Using Fair Trade And Organic Clothing In T-Shirt Printing

T-shirts used for t-shirt printing are often made of cotton because of the material’s absorbency to textile inks. Polyester and other types of fabric are also used, but nothing beats screen printing a six-color process image onto cotton fabric. However, for those who care for the environment and the people who work for… Continue

Types of T-Shirt Printing Equipment

T-shirt printing traditionally uses a mesh for screen printing. The textile inks are filtered through the screen using a squeegee, which is a piece of rubber with a wooden handle that is used to push the ink against the mesh. Innovations in t-shirt screen printing, however, have made the process easier and faster with new t-shirt printing equipment, especially the large drying machines that can cure multiple shirts at the same time at… Continue

STYLISA Fashion Tips - Part Two

Fashion Stylist, Lisa Maynard-Atem of STYLISA Ltd, continues to gives us the low down on what to do when hitting the shops… When shopping for shoes, always ensure you take your own pop socks. Although shops do provide them, I think it is best to take your own along with you…and some foot spray (the shop assistant might be a cute guy that you’ve had your eye and I am sure you don’t want to put him off with any unsavoury odours)!!! When trying on garments, try a number of sizes in the same garm… Continue

Liverpool conference photography

Shooting conferences can be very varied in terms of photography. Some events can be quite formulaic with just one person at a podium doing nothing much except talking with very little movement. Others are much more dynamic and interesting visually, with a range of speakers and other 'break-out' activities. David at DJC Design recently covered the LARAC 2009 Conference at the Liverpool A… Continue

STYLISA Shopping Tips – Part One

Fashion Stylist, Lisa Maynard-Atem of STYLISA, gives us the low down on what to do when hitting the shops…. Ask yourself the question – do I really need it? If not, then don’t buy it. Yes I know what it’s like when you see something and you convince yourself that you’ve just got to have it but how many times have bought something on impulse, worn it once and then never worn it again or never worn it all for that matter??? Unless you’re a stylist and can use your clothes for your work, then it r… Continue

Fashion’s Bad Fatitude

Although fashion has become more accessible thanks to the high street being able to recreate catwalk looks within a short time frame, the same cannot be said when it comes to sizing. Remember the ridiculous furore a few weeks ago when fashion designer, Mark Fast sent size 12-14 models down the catwalk? The reaction was outrageous. Firstly, the models looked fantastic and secondly, do these people not have more important things to be agonising over? Clearly not! However, both designers and the h… Continue
