t’s for my man by jodireeves on Etsy is a sweet collection of tees for men. Revival Ink’s organic cotton Twisted Tree Tee was included along with many other cool indie tees for guys. One of my favorites, the Polar Bear Tee by Partybots (another Seattle company) was also featured. Go Seattle indie fashion!
Revival Ink is now 3 people strong! A few months ago, Revival Ink hired Tory Franklin as a part-time screen-printer. She has been learning very quickly, becoming an important member of the team! Tory has 9 years silkscreen experience, printing everything from circuit boards to her own artwork. Tory also works part-time at Cornish College of the Arts (the same college I graduated from) as the lab assistant for the drawing classes. She’s an amazing artist in her own right, and I’d love to share some of the things she’s been working on.
Currently, she has a public installation up in Tacoma, Washington at 906 Broadway, bay 2B across from the Pantages Theater. I have been hearing a lot from her about the evolution of this project, and it was great to see it finished.
It’s called The Firebird, and is a digital vinyl print on cut pvc, and cut tyvek.
Check out these amazing photos! To see more of Tory’s work check out her online portfolio.
My favorite item on Etsy today is this super cool Mason bee house by andrewsreclaimed on Etsy. Husband and wife team Andrew & Melissa make beautiful things out of woods they source by dismantling and re-milling ages-old piers, fences, barns, and other structures slated for demolition. Mason bees are a gentle native bee that are solitary. Mason bees build little nests in holes in wood. They are super fun to watch and an important addition to any garden.
This Saturday September 18th Revival Ink will be at The Seattle Square. Seattle square features a wide range of groovy vendors. Look for us in Occidental Park!
