Print Liberation







Print Liberation is in fact a creative design agency based in Philly. However they sent me a mail to tell me about some shirts they were selling.

So, out of the kindness of my heart I trawled my ass over to their store and had a look. Yes, some t shirts, not bad. Nice little site, nicely put together. The thing that caught my eye though was the section marked book. Mmmmmnnn I thought to myself, wonder what that might be about, so I clicked. Lo and behold it's a tasty little book about screen printing. Kinda like a begginners guide, not the most original of ideas but i just liked the way it had been put together, maybe someone who reads this may be interested and get started.

Anyway, get over there, have a look, check out their shirts. Theres some nice prints. I particularly liked the 'Life is What You Make It' print which if it was on a tshirt i may have shelled out some cash for it.

Me&Yu





If you like mosters you're in for a treat. Monsters is the dish of the day for Manchester based Me&Yu. These guys are so close to where I live I can smell them coming off the printing press.
What started out as a little money spinner on Bondi Market, Australia soon turned out to be the successful label that it is now. With a Manchester store the label soon attracted a cult following with celebrities such as Agyness Deyn, Noel Fielding (The Mighty Boosh), New Young Pony Club, and Joseph Gilgun (This is England) all seen wearing Me&Yu clothes.
They have just opened another new store so the future looks bright for these guys. I've added a selection of my faves. Particularly liking Monster Doodle and Killer Cats (bottom, Salmon), which looks effing brilliant in that colour.
See them online at http://www.meandyu.com/
or if you're in Manchester swing by their shop.
