This is one of two designs that Tyson at Iron Brush drew up for us to screen on some tees. We decided to do a bone white colored plasticharge print on some various colored cotton tees.

Screen Ink : Freestyle 50


ScreenInkBoard.JPG, originally uploaded by O.E.S..

We hosted a fabulous art exhibit that was organized by Ryan Holt and Jeremie Memming, local artists/designers here in Lincoln. I was hoping to have time to run a series of three boards but ended up only having time to pump out this one and gave the other two to some other artists in town. 38 local artists in total designed 50 skateboards for this exhibit. Ours was basically a play off some mail we received the day I decided to get this board completed. This is a 4-color process print of a photo i took of the capital, then a screen print over the stamp and raw wood of the board. The whole thing was then coated with some random wood seal we found in the shop, couldn't really read what it was . . . a totally spontaneous and fun Saturday project.

Nelnet Marketing

Here's a follow up photo to a previous post. This is the second design of three for Nelnet Marketing Group. I didn't actually get to see any of these around town, but oh well. Hopefully they found some interns, which was the intended purpose. We custom mixed three pantone colors with water based ink to run these posters @ 19" x 25".

Here's a sample of some posters we ran for Iron Brush Tattoo. A two color print on a speckletone paper from French papers. This is a 19" x 25" water based silkscreen print. I know, I know, this one has bleeds in the image... we forgot to take shots of the good ones!

Another Arbor Day Project


ArborDayFoundation2.JPG, originally uploaded by O.E.S..

We actually ran these before the coffee signs but, whatever. These are the front display pieces for the Arbor Day Foundations line of recycled greeting cards. As with the coffee signs, we used a brown water based ink on natural wood. This creates a really nice burnt wood effect, without any burning...

Community Crops

Here we have some box tops to cover the wonderful locally grown produce of the Community Crops of Lincoln. We used a custom mixed green water based ink on their provided natural cardboard color box tops.

We printed up some raw wood pieces for the Arbor Day Foundation recently. These will be part of some signage for what seems to be their line of specialty coffee in conjunction with the Rain Forest Rescue Project. Very cool.

Silkscreen Posters

Here is the first of a three part series of posters we will be screen printing for Nelnet. Three spot colors on some nice heavy French paper. We hope that this is just the start to a fruitful relationship between Screen Ink. and poster printing.

Silkscreen Poster Printing is HERE


posterpress.JPG, originally uploaded by O.E.S..

We're diving into the world of poster printing. Using a nice water based series of inks we can mix pantone colors to a fairly close proximity and screen print either full color (CMYK) or spot color posters.

More photos to come...

Irish Fest


Photo 168.jpg, originally uploaded by O.E.S..

I ran these for a group of guys heading to Kansas City. Presumably Irish and ready for some serious beer consumption. It's pretty simply but effective, a 2 color print on black t's. We allowed the black of the tshirt work inside of the interior to save a bit of cash on this small run of t's.

Young Nebraska Scientists


Photo 157.jpg, originally uploaded by O.E.S..

Here is one of several items we finished for the Young Nebraska Scientists summer camp at the University of Nebraska. These bags were pretty difficult to print as they have an inside lining along with a 7 color design. 7 colors!

Thanks to Sarah for the challenging project and we hope to see you again next year.

here's the back print for the nanonation t's. there are actually 3 shades of blue within that little box to the left of their name, pretty intricate print but it was a much needed challenge to keep us on top of our game.

Jake's Smoke Shop


Jake's Smoke Shop, originally uploaded by O.E.S..

This is from a photograph of Alex's graffiti work at the Omaha Jake's Cigar Shop, which I guess now is officially also a bar. Miles Davis on the trumpet, of course. It's basically printed as a duotone photograph with white and blue on black t's.
