Tick Tick at Art Hop 2008 Yo-yo-yo-yo!

09.06.08
Rucchi, Dale and Nick and I had a bunch of extra time while screen-printing at the Art Hop party at the offices of Seven Days.
Then we got a bunch of yo-yo’s right, and things just turned crazy, crazy.
It was super hot out for this time of year, and also, rediculously windy, which made it really hard for us to cure the ink on all our shirts. There were a bunch of incredible pulled pork sliders, MMMMMMMMH!
Check out the Speaking Volumes shirt that Dale designed and is wearing.

What will Tick Tick be doing this art hop?

09.04.08

I know, everybody has been wondering.

On Friday evening, from around 5 to 9, Tick Tick is doing a printing party at the Seven Days offices, which are on the end of South Champlain St. We’re bringing our four-paddle t-shirt press. You can choose from one of four designs by Seven Days cartoonists, pick out a t-shirt in your favorite size and color, and WATCH US PRINT IT IN FRONT OF YOUR UNBELIEVING EYES. Well, you’ll be cordoned off from the dangerous printing area by a velvet rope. There will be food and drink. You do have to buy the t-shirt.

Last year the party was a ton of fun. It was one billion degrees out and, as you know, when screenprinting, you properly cure the prints with a very hot dryer. Later on we went to the Green Door party and that’s always a good time. If you haven’t looked at Green Door papermaker Drew Cameron’s combat paper project, you really need to.
