answers to questions

Hi.

There have been a few questions about the show, more specifically, the printing of the shirts so I’ll, attempt, to answer some of them now.

We have a printer we like, his name is Hercules – yes Hercules, and he works at a shop next door to the shop we work at. He’s a very skilled graphic artist – so questions to him regarding files and such are not a problem. He can, also, help you with getting files ready for printing. Best shoot the questions directly to him, digigraph@telus.net and he’ll set you straight.

He, Hercules, along with his partner sang, have a great eight colour automated press that turns out some great prints. And questions on limitations (i.e.: half tones, screens, etc.) should, again, be passed along to Hercules. They also have a five colour manual press.

Hercules also has access to all styles and brands of shirts should you have a certain style or brand you want.

Shirts he can get can be seen at:

There was a question regarding content and/or subject matter for the shirt design and all I can say is let your conscience be your guide. Obviously racist, misogynistic and other such things would be frowned upon. Sexy as opposed to sexist is always good.

Keep the questions coming and I’ll try and answer them.

Corie.
