A One of a Kind Apparel Experience

I had the pleasure of meeting the guys from Drive By Press in the fall when my printmaking teacher invited them to stop by our class. Drive By Press is a good example of a graduate thesis gone WELL(!), and this I find very inspiring. Greg and Joseph wanted to find a way to bring printmaking out in the open and out to the public so that it could be better understood and appreciated- and especially so that other people could participate. They tour the US year round visiting different schools, events, and concerts where they make shirt after shirt on-site. They are able to do this by creating their own woodcuts, and toting around a giant beauty of a press attached to the back of their truck. Somewhat guerilla and fully participatory, I love that these guys have opened up the world of printmaking to everyone. Normally you won't find any printing presses that can be moved around, much less from city to city. They've got an idea with a purpose, to mention some great style.

As a printmaker myself, I am very grateful there are people out there continuing to find ways to make the art form relevant.
I'm also proud to have two of their fabulous tees, fo free!
