First off an apology. Sorry! I really should update my blog more regularly! I suck, I know, but there should be some exciting stuff worth blogging about pretty soon (not that my life isn't really exciting! *awkward laugh*).
Anyways! I printed up some more stock of the Owl Sweaters on Sunday having installed a new, spanky tunnel dryer. This dryer is a big'un & makes discharge printing a heck of a lot faster/easier. Definitely should get it vented though as the fumes from discharge ink are pretty heady. That's definitely on the "do ASAP" list, that or melt my lungs... pretty obvious choice. Aneewayee! Rambling... here's some pictures of the print process, as I know it's pretty interesting & wanted to share how screen printing works with you guys. Look at it, take it in, digest it, enjoy it:

Printing out film.

Ready to Expose!

Start!
Washed out exposed screen in wash out booth.

Flop.
That's yr lot! Hope you enjoyed looking. I'll try to be more interesting & frequent with the blog posts in future!

It's 10.10am on the 10/10/10, which means… tee time!
So after a busy summer working hard I've finally had some time to finish off the long awaited new collection. Is ridiculously awesome to finally have some raaad, tongue slappin' new products back in stock again! This will probably be the last large(ish) release I'll be making for a while, so enjoy!
Here's a little info about the line:
All the products have been designed & hand screen printed by myself, in Wiltshire, UK. Pretty much everything in the new collection is printed with discharge/waterbased ink so the prints are extremely soft. The tees are American Apparel, which I'm sure we all know are really nice shirts. That's about all you need to know… go buy yourself something nice!
YAYER!

Hello! I am still alive, don’t worry :)
Sorry about the delay on everything. Been so busy with my print company – Monster Press that I have literally no time. I managed to print up some of the new stuff t’other day, & thought I’d share a sneak peek to tide you over until everything else is done:

I’ve been getting to grips with some new ink, which is super soft & lightweight. I think you will love it!
Sorry for being lame, new stuff soon! promise.

How did I manage to post about the sale everywhere EXCEPT my own Blog? Epic fail.
Anyways, better late than never! Enter “BLACKFRIDAY” during checkout for 20% off everything!
This discount is only available for 2 more hours, then its invalid! So get on it!

So the new collection has been out for 2 – 3 weeks, & I haven’t had time to take some product photos until today! I usually hate posing for photographs, but today was actually pretty hilarious. The girl in the photos is Rachael, she’s my wicked-awesome girlfriend, she helps me out quite a lot with Holebrain stuff, so thank you to her.
Here’s some snaps:

So I was messing around drawing last night & came up with this funny idea. It’s not a design for garments or anything, but thought I would share anyway :)

Enjoy!

How are you guys liking the new website? Pretty cool hey? Way better than the last store!
As you can see I now have a blog where I can write about Holebrain related stuff, & behind the scenes tings, including ideas for t-shirts, & potential Holebrain designs. There will, of course be some fun/funny stuff in here to!
So far as the “shopping experience” the store functionality has improved greatly. I now can set up bundle deals, discount codes, shipping discounts & a ton of other stuff. I can also manage orders & stuff a lot easier, so customer service should be greatly improved.
Hope you guys enjoy the new site, feel free to send me some feedback via the comment box below/email!
Thanks for checking out the new site!
