ABOUT PRINT PROXY

Hi, I’m Jon, the owner Print Proxy- an online retailer of awesome t shirts. We’re based in Columbus, Ohio which is great, because we work out of coffee shops, something Columbus has no shortage of. We began designing t-shirts in the middle of September, 2013 and I print them in my basement. Upon starting Print Proxy, I was asked by a friend why I wasn’t pursing something more creative than t-shirts. Reasonable question, I suppose! I answered him- “I think you’re talking about innovation. We like t-shirts. People like t shirts. So, t-shirts are our vehicle to be ‘more’ creative.” There’s a difference between creativity and innovation. I believe that managing creativity leads to innovation. So, hopefully one day, we can bring some really fresh ideas to the apparel decorating world, but for now we’ll just try to make you smile with awesome t shirts.

Our process begins with a cup of coffee and google.

-We pay attention to pop culture and what people are talking about. Get more coffee.

-Then, we apply our awesome design skills to make shirts people will love. Get more coffee.

-Then, we try to get shirts in front of the people we think will like them. Get more coffee.

-Then, I go into a dark basement, crank some music and print some shirts! Get more coffee.

-Then, we hope people enjoy our shirts and let us know how much they like them by commenting with emoticons on our storenvy. Celebrate with coffee.

We source all of our apparel from American Apparel because the shirts are super soft and they fit well. (Really important components of a new favorite t shirt) We use a process called direct to garment (dtg) printing because it allows use to make every t shirt to order.

We hope you enjoy browsing through our t shirts! Thanks for checking out our shop!!

Come Play My Game I’ll Test Ya By Butcher Billy

Is it a game? A movie? A band?

Don’t know anymore. In Butcher Billy’s sick, twisted world, they are all one.

 In today’s recipe Chef Butcher starts with a thick cut of a classic game title and then keeps adding delicious, melting, luscious, rich selects of crunchy pop culture including the usual finest iconic celebrities, vintage movies, subversive rockstarts, japanese animes, entertainment industry brands and improbable visual concepts to spice things up. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.

 

Celebrity Hedcut Art By Noli Novak

ILLUSTRATOR: NOLI NOVAK

I am a staff hedcut illustrator at The Wall Street Journal with over 26 years of experience. I have created tens of thousands of original illustrations for the paper and wide variety of clients ranging from all publishing, corporate brochures and advertising to product and website illustration and social media avatars.

“Part of my job at the Wall Street Journal is training new illustrators in the hedcut technique. It has been developed at the paper and kept alive by only a handful of us who had a privilege of learning the tricks of the trade. Mastering the hedcut technique is just one aspect of this illustration style. Capturing the likeness of the subject is ultimately more important, which is best shown with celebrity portraits.

Most of my portraits are done as spot illustration accompanying newspaper articles or as requested by my clients for various projects. I usually don’t pick my subjects and I’m given clear rights or permission for use of reference photographs I base my portraits on.”

Hedcut is a term referring to a style of drawing, associated with The Wall Street Journal. They use the stipple method of many small dots and the hatching method of small lines to create an image, and are designed to emulate the look of woodcuts from old-style newspapers, and engravings on certificates and currency. The phonetic spelling of “hed” may be based on newspapers’ use of the term hed for “headline.”
