Vino Rosso, some new signage, Saddle Creek Shop, new toys, McCarthy Trenching and some promo shirts

 We made these stellar shirts for Vino Rosso. He enjoys the finer things in life. GFY!! We never said this blog was family-friendly.


We made some signage for the front of our building to help people find us better. Its nothing fancy, but it was cheap and done in an afternoon.




Saddle Creek's retail outlet has its grand opening this Saturday. Live performances by Orenda Fink and The Mynabirds and 3 DJ sets!! Starts at noon.




Bought some new toys on Craigslist: a 24x28" light table and a 30x30" paper cutter. You're not that excited...but I AM!!!!



McCarthy Trenching is gearing up to release another record. This time on hometown label, Slumberparty. We "re-appropriated" some old LP covers for this new one. Titled "Fresh Blood", it should be out by Sept.








Aaaand, LeAnn designed these astronaut Ink Tank shirts. They glow in the dark!! How could you not want your shirt to glow in the dark? Space printin'. Yeah.

"Omaha Girls Rock’s mission is to give girls the confidence to use their voice through music education and performance. Our female mentors act as a support system encouraging self expression and self respect. Through workshops and one-on-one instruction we cultivate the DIY values that form the core of the independent music experience- confidence,self reliance and original thinking- and encourage our students to apply these values in all aspects of their lives."

The Omaha Girls Rock camp runs July 11-15th in the UNO music department.

Mr O'Leavers, Medical Solutions, Slowdown, The Felice Brothers and Brett Dennen

This is Saturday is the Mr O'Leavers "pageant". Its the who's who of the dive bar circuit and will guarantee to entertain/disgust. Come down and watch the guys exhibit their talents and hope the homemade stage doesn't collapse. $5 to get in.


Medical Solutions did another shirt for their employees to let people know they're famous. Rated one of the best places to work in Omaha!




Slowdown is gearing up for the College World Series, starting next week. They made baseball jerseys for their staff and beer shirts for their customers. They are located across the street from the new stadium. The beers are cold and the staff is friendly.





Printed a new Mike Tyson inspired shirt for The Felice Brothers. Metallic copper on tri-blend charcoal.
