Printed Shirts Page

Welcome to my Printed Shirts page. Most of my loyal customers and friends know me for my shirts. In 2002 I started using my linocuts and woodcuts to hand-print on shirts. It took many trials and errors, but I really have it down to a science now.

Believe me this is not an easy thing to do. After designing and carving my block, I roll ink onto the block, carefully set it ink-side-down on the shirt surface…then the hard part: flipping the whole shirt and block over so the shirt does not lose contact with the block. Then for many minutes I rub—burnish—the back of the shirt to force the ink deeply into the fibers of the front of the shirt! Then, after carefully flipping the bundle back over, I carefully remove the block while praying for a perfect image and voila! A hand-printed shirt. I use an oil-base ink, but do all ink clean-up with a Soy-solvent and Simple Green!

You can order a custom printed shirt by emailing me, or you can order one that is already printed from my "Buy It Now" shop.

In addition to hand-printed shirts, I offer some of my designs silk-screened onto shirts. See my "100% Organic Cotton Silkscreened Shirts"* listing as well as "More Silk-screened shirts**" below.

If you don’t see exactly what you want, email me to place a custom order: To custom order a shirt, first check out the "Buy It Now" link to my etsy.com shop. The best prices will be on shirts that are already printed. If you do not find what you are looking for, design your own custom shirt here. Look at all my carved Woodcuts and Linocuts to choose your favorite.

Email me with your request of design, style of shirt, size, and color available in that style. I will email you a secure online invoice for credit card purchases for the cost of the shirt with shipping and handling included. Allow 3 weeks for a custom printed shirt. Shirts from the "Buy It Now" link go out within 24 hours generally.

*Organic Cotton Shirts

Welcome to my new line of affordably priced 100% Organic Cotton T-shirts for men and women made by Anvil.  No pesticides or other chemicals are used in the production of this 100% Pre-shrunk, 5oz organic cotton fabric shirt.  I have selected 6 designs to start with this new line.  Note that this line of shirt is true to size--not over-sized as are the Authentic Pigment shirts.  They are great for people who like a soft cotton slimming shirt. 

Each design is available in the colors as shown:  City Green, River Blue, and Natural unbleached cotton.  All are available in the Men's/Unisex style shirt except for the Dragonfly design which is only in women's cut shirts.  The Great Blue Heron and the Listening design are available in both the Men's/Unisex style AND the Ladies' cut shirts.

Each of these are available at my "Buy It Now" etsy shop or simply drop me an email from this web site to order.  Just tell me what design and what size you want--ladies or men's if applicable.   The one-color prints are only $20 plus S&H.  The two multi-color designs are only $24 plus S&H.  I will send you an online invoice for payment.
