Yes, we decided to reprint the mewithoutYou print. We didn’t print much the first run and wanted to have some for ourselves and close friends. There are a few up in the shop if you’d like to grab one before we put another sold out sign on the door. The colors have changed from the first edition just because we like to switch things up! There are more shots in the shop.
We have been preparing for an upcoming craft show in Columbia, SC and this is one of the prints we’ll be selling. You can check it out now in our shop if you’d like one! It’s an 8x8 3 color print. Printed on French Paper’s Cement Green with a limited quantity of 50 that was pulled by hand, stamped and signed. Hurry up, they won’t last after the show.
The poster below is the most recent we’ve created for Mike Birbiglia and his show in Indianapolis, IN. We were super honored when they asked us to create another print based off the first one we did. It’s a three color print and was a blast to work on, as usual.
One thing I am quickly learning about myself is how extremely impatient I am. There is a growing restlessness inside of me when I get focused on one or two things and no one else seems to be working with the same intensity as me.
As cliché as this may be, patience is a virtue. By definition, a virtue is “manly strength or courage to act.” When I read that earlier today I almost punched my monitor through my office wall. Am I a man? Am I courageous? I like to think so, but the part that bothered me the most is like lifting weights physically makes you stronger, patience is a muscle that needs to be exercised in order to grow and mature.
I hate that.
In the past, it was easy for me to say things like “I’m not a patient person” or to make excuses for my self-inflicted stress because it all comes back to who is in control. I want to be in control of when things happen, when people respond to e-mails, when we take on projects, and even things as simple as when I do or don’t clean my house.
I believe that Shed Labs has two of the most innovative and strategic thinkers with an unmatched ability to execute ideas. In my heart I believe that one day Shed Labs will be forced to expand beyond our newlywed family to search for more hard-headed and indignant sons-of-bitches that are looking for a way to push and stretch design further than we may want to go.
While it may be on the horizon, that day is not today.
So I will choose to keep my head down, work hard, focus on what my hands are doing, and unleash every effort to fight to produce the greatest work for the projects I have been given today. The rest, as they say, will take care of itself.

I’m not usually the guy who tells another guy what he should believe, but to me the Protect IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act are shear lunacy. It might be different if it would work, but it wouldn’t. Illegal sites would simply move home base overseas while legit companies on American soil could lose profits and/or get shut down completely.
Take it for what it is, but get informed. If you value the freedom the internet gives our great nation, then go sign the petition to make sure this doesn’t happen.

Well, it’s 1:07 and we just wrapped up this project. I’m excited about how these turned out and can’t wait to see them in action.
Goodnight.
We don’t normally print other people’s designs, but when we do they are always for our friends.
Tonight we worked on some wood signage for our friend, Tyler. I never knew when I started screen printing that I was going to need an advance degree in mathmatics. However, me and Wellington had a blast looking at each other with blank stares, shrugging our shoulders, and scratching our heads.
So here’s a few process shots to satisfy your Shed cravings.
The boards were too big to fit our jig, so we had to use clamps to hold the screens in place.
Wellington makes the first pulls.
I like to call this one “Daddy’s Little Helper.”
…and this one is “Wellington Does The Math.”
Adam has been a long time friend of ours and we always enjoy seeing photos from his climbing trips. I really love these shots below from their recent trip to Hueco, Texas. The lighting and composition is really nice. Shooting subject matter that you’re familiar with is something really great.
All was well at last night’s AAF Art Show. The whole Shed crew was there hanging out with good friends and some really talented local artists. Thanks to everyone who came out.
If you saw a piece of art that you were interested in and didn’t get a chance to buy, shoot us an e-mail or tweet us and we’ll try to hook you up.

If there’s one thing we suck at, it’s blogging. If there’s another thing we suck at it’s delivering news. If you’re going to be in Greenville tomorrow night be sure to swing by Fish Eye Studios and pick up some sweet art and other usable goodies.
For those who have been asking, we will be selling our very last print of the MeWithoutYou poster framed and numbered. It will only be available at the show, so come out and take it home. Free drinks and fingerlings will be on hand for the folks who vote party over art.
