It should come as no surprise that I’m a huge House Industries fan. But even I was shocked to see David Dodde’s screen print of this House pattern on an Apple iMac. Dang Dave! It’s obvious how super pro you are…but inquiring minds gotta know: Can you print on a pickle?!

There’s nothing like a fresh batch of Toughskin-clad zombie children to inspire fall fashion.

Oh What Trappings From The Rich Tannins In Our Blood!

A bed made of old pickle barrels by Sundance (Robert Redford).

A coffee table made from the hood of a 1985 Ford Bronco by
The Weld House (Joel Hester).

PTS is pleased, honored and privileged to be a part of the Latest Rosa Loves Fall Line. Not only is Rosa Loves run by some of the greatest people living on the earth (to which they would steadfastly disagree which is partly why they’re so wonderful…they also live in St. Augustine, FL which is a town known for hosting a ton of total rippers) but what really makes them so incredible are the stories and people they connect with. Their friend Glenda is walking a little better these days. Made is probably bringing in a serious catch! Members of The Sharkar Family are bustling through a Bangladesh market in their new rickshaw.

So when Mr. Fretto (Pro Designer & Major Dude of Rosa Loves) asked Mr. Petito to whip up a tee design to help raise money for a Magical Indonesian Garden of Sweet & Nutritious Treats, it was impossible to pass on! Illustrating (and eating) delicious fruit is a no-brainer (I highly recommend getting your chompers on some longans and lychees when you can, they’re jammy good!) Definitely check out Rosa & Her Loving Ways and I won’t be offended if you don’t purchase a shirt…totally understand if you’d rather save up your money to buy me THIS instead.

Thanks be to Anna Swafford for making this face, to Jared Swafford for capturing it and to Mike Fretto & Co. for all their hard work. Blessings!

Having a mild obsession with a good writing utensil can be frustrating (I dropped out of college because of a Bic Ballpoint). Most recently I discovered the Pilot Varsity, a disposable fountain pen for around $2. Oh what beautiful fluids!







Naturally this is one of my all-time favorite Kids In The Hall sketches.

One major dude named Mike Fretto just sent me a link to Tugboat Print Shop based out of Pittsburgh, PA. This husband/wife duo are slicing up wood with some serious cutlery and craft. It just so happens to be my birthday so please order this Picnic Party print for me immediately! Thank you kindly.

Thanks Bowen. Sick Gold Foil!

Handmade in San Antonio, Texas especially for the elderly. I got my latest pair of Siestas on ebay for $4, turns out they were brand new! Do yourself a flavor-flave and purchase a pair immediately. While you’re at it go ahead and pick me up a size 10N (ladies), if you don’t mind.

Been spending an indefinite amount of time on the west coast sleeping on a skate ramp, eating free Thai food, hanging with Honey and operating a flatbed press. This is for all my screen printing friends who, like me, have printed by hand for so many years. Thanks to Nick & Fran Bad-Ass-Bittakis for making so many of my dreams come true!
