Hmmm, well I was introduced to screen printing at what was formerly the London College of Printing in Elephant and Castle, this was more moons ago than I care to remember! I've always liked the process, or more perhaps the clean result born from so much messy inky chaos! T-shirts I've always liked as well, so...here we are! Having said that, I've always thought the majority of designs on them could be a bit more interesting, (deeper dare I say?)..a bit more considered perhaps. It could be thought of as prime space after all, especially when it can be pretty hard to get your imagery up in a public place. So being an artist (for my sins) and a control freak by nature, I suppose it was inevitable that I was going to set up a system at home, to the detriment of other human endeavours! This was to keep an eye on quality-control but also to give me the freedom to do very small limited edition runs of each design, (partly because I get bored easily and no one likes me when I'm bored, but mostly because it's quite easy to drown in a sea of cotton pretty quick.. soft and colourful though it may be. I also found that all my local screen printers looked at me blankly when I asked for a small print on the inside of the neck. So, designs of presses and equipment on napkins and beer mats came to life and the 'Jorsh' cottage industry came to being. But don't worry t-shirt wearers of the world, this by no means jeopardises the quality of the print.. au contraire my friends, I've dabbled in similar ventures in the past and I find the flash driers that most screen printers in the UK are using are pretty lame. I also found long ago that my mum's domestic oven was not quite the thing for curing plastisol inks on fabrics :). In fact, I have every reason to suspect that I'm something of a pioneer in this country as far as I can tell with regards to the dryer I use for curing the inks, which I could not make, have made, or find anywhere in the UK after extensive obsessive research. That is until such an item mysteriously turned up on my supplier's website after a conversation with them! A few more design glitches later shall we say, we were set for a nice evenly distributed heat, resulting in a very durable non-crackly non-crumbly print, which of course is what we all want! I'm also pretty strict on a nice 'soft hand' non-cardboard feel to the print as the shirts are pretty nice and soft. So welcome!..and maybe snap one up, they are only produced in small runs of 30-50 and are all individually numbered so you're left with a very exclusive very limited edition shirt that is possibly as rare as rocking horse poop.
