We've upgraded to a larger location!  In the Arts District still, ground level suite #111 in the Toy Factory Lofts building at 1855 Industrial St #111  Los Angeles, CA 90021.  We're the last unit in the building down at the end of Industrial St.

In additon to screen printing and digitally printing on T-shirts here in Los Angeles, we have the ability to print on many different surfaces, today printing customized director's chairs for Gimme the Gig, this one for legendary Rolling Stones/Iggy Pop/Brian Wilson producer Don Was.  We printed these DTG because each director got their named customized.  We had all 5 chairs printed and done before a single screen could've been burned!

Printing some vintage 911 Tees for www.cordheritage.com

These shirts are printed Direct to Garment (DTG) on a digital printer, have a super soft hand, and will hold up better in the wash than a traditional screen printed t-shirt.

WOLVES KILLS SHEEP

today we printed all samples for Jim Carrey's secret, "on the down low" new t-shirt company.  unfortuantely we can't share the images, but it was a thrill, and everyone was a dream to work with.  Jim is actually a bigtime artist; he produces paintings that are massive in size.

Today we moved from Los Feliz into our marvelous new commercial loft at 915 MATEO ST, and we're loving the view!  The new location suits us well, in this thriving neighborhood. We've had a DTLA prescence since 1996 and are so happy to again be calling this place home. Our space also serves as an art gallery and music studio.

charlie sheen ordered 8 of these personalized, custom t-shirts for a now infamous party w/ some friends, via text, indicating proper spelling & layout. if you didn't know that charlie calls himself "the masheen", well now you do...  this was WAY before we knew charlie had #tigersblood or was diagnosed as bi-winning, and before charlie sheen t-shirts became a multi-million dollar industry.

friend of DIY, sir mike mitchell, has launched his marvelous webstore which features amazing prints & t-shirts!

sir mike mitchell was the creator of the iconic "i'm with coco" image from last year, and also has a super popular Tumblr blog

The film shoot was last week in NYC, and will feature a stop motion video of a child wearing 40-50 custom t-shirts, removing one by one.  This was an extremely unique & demanding job, requiring over one hour labor per t-shirt and a 5 day turnaround.

This morning DIY Shirts owner Chris, with Eric Lockard of Lockard Amplification delivered and set up a Lockard 187 amplifier at Conan's new artist green room for Jack White (day 1) & Soundgarden (day 2).  The energy level very early morning at Conan's new Warner Bros. studio for his TBS debut was electric to say the least!  Conan has an extraordinary staff...  The early morning rock 'n roll was but a bit awkward, but had an absolute blast hanging out.

Tonight was Rainnn Wilson's SOUL PANCAKE book release party in Beverly Hills.  In attendance were Mike Mitchell (Rocket Bird T-artist), Steve Carrell, and Weird Al Yankovich.  Fun.

We took a quick trip up to Frisco for a photo exhibit at Aversano Galleria, just days before our very own Los Feliz grand opening art show.  It was my first ever photo show, entitled "Octaves" and some NorCal friends showed up for the opening.  It was during the baseball playoffs and raining cats & dogs.  Fun night...  the show ended up selling out, thanks Tony!  All of the 11 photos were goth themed for Halloween and taken in New England - mainly Salem, Marblehead, Boston & Coventry. The prints from this show will be available June 2011 here at DIYshirts.com.

Today we shipped off over 300 DTG printed American Apparel tees for Rainn Wilson's big Seattle show at the Moore Theater.  Design was created by Mike Mitchell and has been a big hit, and these will surely be considered collectible.  These shirts were all printed using state of the art digital printing equipment using soft to the touch, eco-friendly water based ink.  Rainn's event was just prior to the release of his NY Times bestseller Soul Pancake and was sold out!

Ben Von Strawn's monster art (available here at http://www.diyshirts.com/shop.html) has been seen on stages over the world, most notably by one of Ben's biggest fans, Slash.
