Updated for 2025. Quality is subjective, the most popular list does not address quality per se, rather it objectively shows the shirts our clients have chosen most in 2024. What is better or best for your project depends on how your art pairs with your choice of garment and print technology; screen printing, DTG, digital transfer, etc.If you’re looking for more in-depth info on shirt fabric type, we discuss the differences between them in detail here: Very Very Soft PrintsUp until…

Your design is complete, you’re ready for custom screen printing, but you have some questions as to how many shirts and what sizes you should order. We’ll walk you through how to best make an educated decision on your first order based on our experience with thousands of clients.

Every year we print shirts for the Burgess-Peterson Academy encouraging kids to read all the words they can. Their accelerated reader program is a fun way to encourage reading with a shirt custom-made with their name, score, and word count on the back.

Libby Hockenberry and Cary Smith sat down with us to talk about plants and their creative vision behind The Victorian. They now have two distinct custom plant shops each with their own flavor and style. Check out some plants, sip on some coffee, groove to some Jazz, and grabbing a cocktail are all possible at their creative plant shops. Go check them out at East Atlanta Village and Ponce City Market.

We treat every order as a custom order. You’ll encounter screen printers and DTG printers that will try to standardize your choices. For example, they’ll offer a limited range of shirts that you can print on. After being in business for almost 20-years, we’ve found that our clients like choices.

We can mix any color, match any Pantone, or custom color our clients give us. That’s the easy part. Making it look like the right shade and hue when screen printed, printed direct-to-garment, or True Printed on dyed fabric? That takes constant testing and that’s where the lab work comes in.

We mix custom ink colors every day and some of it is plastisol. Plastisol screen printing ink doesn’t dry unless it’s cured at 350º. It stays “wet” or open giving you time to get the print just right or collect empty containers and make a rainbow print.

Every job we do is custom to our clients’ needs and ink is a big part of that process. We begin with a Pantone and then see what it looks like on the garment by screen printing it on sample shirts. Colors will shift when surrounded by another color. Shoutout to Johannes Itten at the Bauhaus. We then adjust the color to look “right” on the garment giving us a custom color for each design we print.

Thomas Turner gave us some screen time to talk about his experience as an artist juggling between murals, studio work, and other projects like shirts. He gives us some knowledge about the complexities of handling custom creative work for clients while maintaining your identity as an artist during the process of delivering the client’s vision.

Frko Rico would rather not talk about art. He prefers making art to discussing its meaning. Still, Ian Short was curious about some of the influences that go into Frko Rico’s work and how they drive his business as a working artist. Nowadays, Frko’s a busy guy, juggling a family with young kids, commissions from rappers, corporate projects, and custom clothing while still finding new ways to tap into his creativity.

Screen printing, “Takes a lot of skill,” she says. Coupled with large brutal machinery, acquiring that skill can intimidate people from learning the truth it has to offer. We discuss her work, how it was influenced by her upbringing, what it meant to her, and what she thinks the world needs more of.

This episode of Artworker is full of great insight for artists and designers. His refrain, “Do art for you,” reminds viewers that the work is not for likes, money, fame, or fashion.

In this video, J walks you through how mechanical processes translate gradients into halftones and what to expect from different print technologies.

This story hasn’t made it to the big screen yet, but is a science fiction classic. Combining text and imagery (illustration or photos) can be challenging. There are many different ways to approach this with poster and book design. In this video, J discusses a few different options by showing you multiple examples from 1941-1991.

As an artist and printmaker, Alayna Fabricius uses her work to reflect on the patterns that naturally occur in nature. Recycling plays a large role in Alayna’s creative process and believes in making the most out of the materials that often get wasted in the printmaking process.

The idea of an exhibition and live printing event came after our first screen printing workshop with the Young Harris printmaking program in the fall of 2019.

Ink type can make a huge difference in how your project looks and feels. With the design in mind, how do you picture it? Do you want something subtle and soft like water based or discharge? Do you want something bright and vibrant like plastisol?Something to keep in mind is what your audience will appreciate. If they’re a sports fan, consider plastisol as it feels and looks like what you commonly see on sports jerseys. That kind of buyer may…

Last month I was sent to Young Harris College to teach a screen printing workshop. Young Harris is located in the southern portion of the Appalachian Mountains and I don’t recommend making that drive late at night like I did. As a custom, I don’t usually make long night drives. For a good twenty minutes, I questioned whether I would make it out of the mountains alive. But I made it and had a pleasant stay at Lake Chatuge Lodge…

J.Gilman’s passion for typographical design has served as the main source of inspiration for his creative work. As an artist, J strives to create work that is strong in all the basic fundamentals of art-making.

J co-owns Danger Press and is Creative Director of the company. As a business owner, J finds value in running…

Last Friday, we had two beautiful things occur… the wonderful production of “How to Draw” filmed a LiveShow at our shop and I finally realized our Friendly neighborhood Bostonian, Ed Jewell, looks just like Frank Zappa. Creepy? Yes. Beautiful Art Direction in the Zappa’s Pic? Yes. If only Ed could dress this well. But I digress, Terri and Adam brought their brand of funny and insightful content over to our stomping grounds and even had some of us in on…

There is a reason that the Red Curtain exists on airline flights. Yes, it does give off a feel of luxury and prestige but that isn’t the only thing it provides. One of the main functions is to limit exposure from any one who isn’t on the proper side of the flowing cloth. Because if you were to vividly see how First Class lives, a natural line of questioning would occur. Why can’t I have free Champagne during my flight?…

If you’re in Atlanta, come by Portfolio Center at 7:00 in the evening on Wednesday, October 04 to hear Ed Jewell discuss everything you wanted to know about screen printing. If you’re nice, he may give you a T-shirt. Presented by AIGA Atlanta Navigating from screen to print can be quite the challenge. Whether it is issues with color matching, converting pixels to inches or simply maintaining the best quality image, there can be many pitfalls that prevent designers from…

Ryonet is a great resource in the screen printing industry. They were in Atlanta recently and came by to chat with owners Ed and J.

They discuss company values, marketing on Instagram, and how the company was named. You can see more of our Instagram feed here instagram.com/dangerpress

In Atlanta, and other markets, quality creative marketing can hold the key to t-shirts moving off of those dusty backroom shelves and into multiple households. At the end of the day, everything we make is meant to tell stories. Whether explicitly or implicitly, we look to connect to the communities we wish to cultivate through our designs. To make sure we’re dancing to the same jig, let us remind you, marketing doesn’t solely mean advertisements. Just like Graphic Design doesn’t mean…

With Skills USA, an organization that outfits high school students with abilities that go far beyond the classroom, we gave up the keys to our treasured shop and let a lucky group of students run…

God Is Dope’s Sharod Simpson discusses how promoting a brand is about more than t-shirts. Atlanta is a very fickle place. There, I said it. But if you’ve lived here longer than 2 years, you would know this statement hovers right above the truth. In a land where everyone is a producer, executive, entrepreneur, poet, rapper, or creative, the sheer amount of shameless self-promotion can either be dizzying, if you’re new to Atlanta, or a new form of radio silence, if you’re a…

Here’s a recent screen printed poster we did for Sanithna Phansavanh, an illustrator who works and lives in Atlanta. His figurative drawing examines the human condition and ranges from small, intimate pieces to large-scale, public murals. “I try to experiment as much as possible with materials. It helps me to stretch my artistic skill set, but what I really love is how it encourages me to rework stylistic approaches for ideas. For this piece, “Moksha,” I wanted to use strokes of color to…

Talking about your work in a public space is a necessary part of being a successful artist. Depending on your personality, this may be uncomfortable for you or you may enjoy it. If you don’t talk about your efforts enough, you will fail to reach an audience of potential supporters, fans, and customers. Self-promote too much and people are likely to get bored of what you’re saying/doing and file your promotion efforts as background noise. Like many things in life,…

Taking your new clothing brand into production can be a bit overwhelming under any circumstances. There are a lot of factors and tons of seemingly small but extremely significant decisions that ultimately add up to the quality, feel, aesthetic, and impact your final product has. Nothing that any of us do, especially on a production scale, is without ethical considerations. Will my product contribute to our massively understated issue with climate change? Am I supporting slave labor? Am I supporting…

Here’s a line of screen printed shirts for kids we’re proud to have been a part of. http://www.schoolnightkids.com/ In our last article, 10 Things to Remember When Starting a Clothing Line, we outlined some of the considerations you should have when you want to begin producing your own designs. This mom, dad, daughter team hit these points and could have added another; 11. Be passionate about your designs. They’re a great example of what doing it right right looks like. Their…

Good news. If you’re reading this are seriously considering having custom shirts printed as part of a clothing line or brand, you’re likely already doing one or more of these things. However, it’s also likely that you are only focusing on one or two of them and negelecting the big picture of what it takes to make it a success. There’s so much more to doing this than just shirt printing and we want to give you a good idea…

Here are some boxes we did with Henry+Co for Lamborghini. Henry+Co were great to work with. They have a high standard for their work in the offset and letterpress industry and it’s always an honor to get to co-op on a project with them. Lamborghini will be using these leather boxes to promote their REV project.    

More great poster work for the consistently impressive David Moscoti. Brazil is Terry Gilliam’s 1985 view of the future of society and our struggle to retain our humanity in it. If you’ve seen it, you know isn’t an easy movie to capture the feeling of in a single image. This poster was done for Spoke Art to commemorate exclusive double feature screening of “Blade Runner” and “Brazil” at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco, November 15th, 2015. See more of David’s work here…

New screen printed print/poster we did for Preston Attebery entitled “Atlanta Perspective.” Check out more of his work at prestonattebery.com

We recently ran a few 24″ x 36″ screen prints for Tommy Bronx. The colors really pop on this in a way that’s hard to capture on screen. It’s a great example of how vibrant and full of life screen printing ink can be when combined with tight illustration work. Check out his “Nova” poster in the ABV Gallery Store. You can see more of his work here @tommybronx

An artist’s process is something we don’t usually get a chance to see. It’s often a deeply personal experience that’s done when they feel inspired and often, not when there’s a camera around. We brought Mike into the shop, when we did had a camera around, and asked him to talk about the steps in creating his latest print. Mike shows us his process, physical and mental, the tools he likes to use and what some of his thoughts are when working on…

We recently finished a project screen printing on a metal briefcase for The Macallan. This was an exciting project that we had fun with.

You know the story. Every kid that grew up in the late 70s / early 80s got to see Rudyard Kipling’s little drama come to life as a cartoon. Don’t pretend you read the book first.

Summers should be full of delicious things in your mouth. We’re at the end of Summer mango season here in North America, so we did a small run of prints to celebrate it’s coming to a close. J has been working on this one for months, apparently holed up in his studio with the skins of peeled mangos, like that dude from Silence of the Lambs, studying their dot pattern and color. Screen print available here You can see more of his work…

Every year we take our shop on the road to various locations across the country. Here’s a short video explaining how that works and how you can hire us to do it at your next event. It’s basically a T-shirt party and it’s a lot of fun.

This screen print has been a couple of years in the making and we’re proud to release it in our store. Quantum Zoo by Richard Wilkinson Richard is an editorial illustrator for New Scientist, Telegraph, Intelligent Life and other magazines. His work is clever storytelling of often complex subjects. Concept illustration at its best.

We’re excited to offer three lovely screen prints by Sarah Grace Couyoumjian. Enjoy.

Young & United are making patriotic screen printed posters, T-shirts and apparel that are well designed. It’s an unusual combination and I’ll admit to being dubious when I heard the concept. “American” and “Well designed” aren’t heard in the same sentence very often and we’re proud to be working with a company that’s working to change that. You can check out their work here http://www.youngandunited.com/

We know your favorite show starts next week. You’re not the only one thats excited. Greenseer screen printed poster by David Moscati

Our new store is now up at dangerprints.com We’ve set it up so you can browse our entire collection in five seconds or less because, after extensive demographing, it turns out our primary audience has the attention span of a Millennial on methamphetamines. So stop by and have a look around. Don’t worry, it won’t take long. We know you’re busy doing important things on the internet.

Are your kids spoiled? That’s a rhetorical question, of course; we know they are. While everybody appreciates you helping to get the economy back on track by raining down gifts on them in celebration of the Winter Solstice this year, you’re only making things worse for yourself. Along with things like pre-school graduations, a lack of corporal punishment and labeling imperious brats as the next step in human evolution, rewarding them for no reason is only going to make their already inflated sense…

Print your letters. Here’s how you do it. Lettering Strokes by J.Gilman I first learned the proper ways of printing letters when I took a drafting class in college. Before they’d let you anywhere near CAD, you had to get down with pencils, compasses, and T-squares. My professor was great. He was one of those awesome, old man hard-asses that makes you do things the way he had to do them–without computers. So we did. We learned, or rather re-learned (thanks, first grade cursive)…

We recently ran across an impressive book about what masculinity means in the 21st century called The Way of Men by Jack Donovan. We liked it enough that we contacted the author, who also turned out to be an illustrator, and produced a print for it. The Way of Men The Way of Men The Way of Men

Many of you will hopefully recognize this as it’s an old idea. However, we feel it bears repeating. In the design world, it’s fairly common knowledge that quality comes at a price. That said, the trend of crowd sourcing work aka “design contests” is at an all-time high and clients seem more eager than ever to work with you…as long as you can show them something on spec. Unrealistic expectations are a common problem not only in the design industry, but…

You guys are probably familiar with Mike’s work by now. Go through our store and you’ll see several pieces by him. He’s been a long time collaborator with Danger and we’ve got a new 3 print series to show you. We think they’re some of his best work so far– Studies & Lessons. See more of his work here instagram.com/mauldin_art/ Michael Mauldin Michael Mauldin Michael Mauldin

We’re psyched about some prints we just finished for Gary Fernández. If you’re a fan of peacocks, squirrels or other mammals, you should check out his work: garyfernandez.net Gary Fernández Gary Fernández Gary Fernández

If I swore on my mother’s eyes that this photo wasn’t posed, I don’t think you’d believe me. Anyway, here’s the interview we did with local clothing manufacturer Alternative Apparel.

What matters most in life? Charles Bukowski would probably say it’s not trying. His grave stone reads “Don’t try”. From years of hard living he learned to spot genuineness in people and knew that some of the most offensive among us are the try-hards. “Just be yourself.” Well, the problem with that is, most of us have been taught “ourself” is what others expect us to be. Like the try-hards, few people expect or truly want you to reach your…

We’re officially calling for a moratorium on saltire logos. It’s gotten nearly as bad as the skull and crossbones design fad of double aught six. Seems designers can’t resist the X mark, and who can blame them? Half the work is already done for you. Just throw in four icons or letters and you’re done. Scotland, Ireland, Jamaica, England, the Confederate Army, Nova Scotia, and let’s say anybody that did it before the turn of the century–you get a pass. The…

These are printed on half inch thick aspen panels. Each piece is two feet wide by four feet tall. They may be natural enemies but we like them together. Only sold as a pair. Illustration by Michael Mauldin.

New print. Limited edition of 45.  Enjoy. See more of his work here instagram.com/sanithna Sanithna Phansavanh Sanithna Phansavanh Sanithna Phansavanh

My first martial arts instructor was fond of the phrase “Practice makes permanent.” He was right, of course. People in general are terrible, often because of their bad habits. Good habits are one of the best ways to improve yourself to the point where others can stand to be around you for more than a few minutes. Brushing your teeth, bathing, exercising, introducing yourself to new people, making eye contact when you speak to them, and pretending to be interested in…

We’ve restocked these in Heather Gray and added a new Heather Green as well. Our most popular shirt for some reason. It’s the red isn’t it. You guys like that red don’t you. Yeah you do.

We printed a couple of things in this show at Young Blood. Should be worth your while.

Our brains are hard wired to respond to red. Evolutionary psychologists explain this by pointing out that in the time before writing, when our brains were developing, if you saw red, something was happening that was worth your attention. You could be leaking red blood, something might be trying to eat you with its red mouth, delicious meat was red, your loincloth might be on red fire, those red berries might kill you, etc. Because your reptile brain learned these…

If someone described a creature to you that you’d never seen before, that lived on another continent you had never been to, do you think you could draw it from just their words? Albrecht Dürer could. Well, sort of. He got it mostly right.

New print from Matt Leunig.

Remember when Atlanta had no trees? Sure you do. You took the Walker Street trolley from Snake Nation down to Broad & Peachtree to work in the cotton warehouse. Then rode it to meet your girl at the Pig N’ Whistle on Ponce for a hotdog. Segue into poster details goes here. We printed these CMYB (Brown), and because we understand that as an American you like things “extra large,” we gave you big 25 line screen dots. Enjoy.

We’ve got a few prints left of Tyson Mcadoo’s Venom. No hot girls were harmed in the making of this print.

We recently finished this print by Mr. Leunig for Ween at the 40 Watt. If you missed the show you can get it on his site. http://posters.scrapedknee.com

We’re packing up to go on the road again. Come see us live on Adult Swim’s Rag Bag of Jollification tour stops from 6pm-11pm. If you can guess how much these press cases weigh, we’ll give you a free shirt. ______________________________ Baton Rouge, LA – Wednesday, March 30 Fred’s Bar Parking Lot, 1184 Bob Pettit Blvd College Station, TX – Saturday, April 02 Dixie Chicken, 202 1st Street Albuquerque, NM – Monday, April 04 Park It Place Lot, 224 Central…

We know it’s been colder than you thought it would be this year. Lucky for you we’ve got a few Analogue Engine jackets left.

ATLANTA Ligature shirt from twentyfive. You can see the design process on their site twentyfive.org

Shapes by Brooklyn based illustrator, Erik Jones. Edition of 110.

Scoutmob, with Alternative Apparel and Octane, asked us to bring you their new shirt. Printed by us, just for you. By the time you read this, it’s likely they will have sold out; it’s  only $3, but you can still try to get one. If you do get an order in, you can pick them up at Octane. Pick-up Location: Octane 1009-B Marietta Street NW Atlanta, GA 30318 Pick-up Hours: Monday October 11th – Friday, October 15th 10 am –…

Putting the word “final” in a file name of your artwork is the surest way I can think of to get something in it changed. Yet every week I see files come to my inbox named “final” as if the person making them was dictator and lord of all graphic design. Firm in the belief that they have some sort of control over their client’s constantly changing taste. Then the file gets revised. Perhaps it gives the designer a sense…

Not since Albrecht Drüer has this scene been rendered with the kind of force and style only a black and white print can bring. Mark Riddick gives us his first equestrian-based nightmare and we’re proud to have it in the shop. riddickart.com

My coworkers and I are a green bunch. I walk to work most days and my coworkers take MARTA because it’s smarta. The other day, my coworkers, in separate incidents, were scolded by a MARTA official for walking on the escalators. “If you want to walk, take the stairs,” the MARTA official barked at them. Since when, and in what sorry excuse for a bustling city, does this make any logical sense? The escalator was invented to move large numbers…

New print by Swindon artist Iain Macarthur. We’ve all felt this way at one time or another. For me it’s how I remember feeling just about every day in high school. I wonder if kids in England hear the same “It’s going on your permanent record” line we get here to keep our youthful anger in check. Iain understands. And so do we.

Clothing line inspired by Magritte, Treachery of Images, 1929. I was in 7th grade English class, first day, when the professor held up this picture. He asked the class what it was.  Everyone answered “a pipe.”  He would reply flatly “No” to student after student.  When he asked me, I said, “It’s a picture of a pipe.” He exclaimed, “Exactly.”  The world at large is about perception; that is the inspiration for Correct.

A couple of weeks ago I found a decent sculpture in Castleberry Hill. No, I’m not joking, look at that thing. “Looking into the past” by Roberto Santo It’s on exhibit in the Besharat gallery parking lot. Tucked back in the corner of Mangum square. Just look for the lion with the long tongue.

We know many of you artists out there just want to find yourselves. In an effort to help, we’ve printed this two color poster by Caldwell Tanner for you. It’s a searingly accurate portrayal of artists with a handy flow chart so you can tell where exactly you fit in. Now you can stop wondering and get a job. Limited edition of 100. Check out more of Mr. Tanner’s work here.

Next time you go to the state Pen, stop by Charlie’s Trading Post across the street. They have $5 work shirts, boots, old jeans like your mom bought for you when you were 6, and fishing tackle your grandfather would be excited about. I was looking over their selection of Jordaches and lures when one of the sales ladies approached me and asked about my hat. I told her it was called a Boonie hat, which she mis-heard as Booty…

We’ve just finished our American Authors trilogy prints. If you’re new to America or you dropped out of school in the 4th grade, the one-color prints pictured here from left to right are Mark Twain, Edgar Allan Poe, and Emily Dickinson. Available individually or as a set. Edition of 80 each. Illustrations by Dust.

We wanted to let everybody know about a new service we’re offering this Spring. Nude (mostly) interns printing your posters. Ask Ed about pricing and available internships. All participants get this print free. Limited edition of 20. Illustration by Dust.

Green living is beyond trendy at this point and is pretty much on its way to becoming a lifestyle choice. And soon you’ll be able to buy lots more stuff to prove you’re living that lifestyle. There isn’t a single human on the planet that doesn’t like the Earth. I mean, what are your other options? Live on the moon? The Earth provides us with food, water, shelter, gravity, sunlight, McDonalds, and all the other human essentials. I suppose the…

The word “Giclée”, pronounced Zhee-Clay, is derived from the French word “le gicleur” meaning “Nozzle” because that’s what you are if you buy or sell one as art. Some dude invented the word in 1991 so he could charge more for his digital inkjet prints. They were originally used as press proofs for real printing. You know, the kind where somebody gets dirty? Giclée prints can run up to $10,000+ depending on size. For an ink. jet. print. He went…

In the 21st century, I shouldn’t have to deal with bones in my food. Nowhere is this more unacceptable than at a restaurant. Let me get this straight: I’m paying for food, you cooked it for me, our civilization has been around for millenia, and you can’t be bothered to remove the bones? If you’re destitute, homeless, a Skeksis, or worse, a Cantonese peasant farmer, then maybe it’s OK. Enjoy the scraps from the leftovers of the lower middle class…

If you dig on white shirts, these guys probably have your number. If they don’t, then maybe it’s time to get a new one. lolanewyork.com Click the kitty to hear the song  >>

Putting fetishes aside for a moment, human feet are pretty disgusting. I won’t really go into details about why, since you should be able to discern this for yourself, but let’s just say that hair, lint, dead skin, and the grime of the world are involved. And yet many of you seem to think you should be able to air your toes to the universe so that we can feast our eyes upon them. Please, please stop. Have you ever…

Hyperbole is literally the biggest problem in modern communication, and it’s destroying our culture. Take, for example, book reviews on Amazon. Some of them are useful, accurate accounts of someone’s experience with a text. But many of them are wildly divergent from reality along the lines of “This book actually really changed my life” or “I hated it so much I sent it back for a full refund and then I murdered the author’s children.” Unless you’re 6 and experiencing…

Now before you get started, let me say that we all realize you need to keep the interior of your Kia Sephia pristine. Granted, the exterior, which I presume used to be white, looks like the skies over Beijing in August. But you still can’t allow those empty juice boxes to sully your ride even for the time it takes to reach your destination, even if that destination is a McDonald’s. Though the last time I checked, McDonald’s had a…

This is why I can’t hate on China. No matter how much their government spits on basic human rights, while keeping most of their population below the poverty line, forcing them to eat anything with 4 legs besides the dining room table, and executing an even higher proportion of them annually than Texas, the fact remains that those same downtrodden people, who have accepted being treated like that as their culture, hand-assembled this, and you can buy it for $2.49…

I ran across this dude that takes down handwritten notes/flyers from public areas like bulletin boards or lamp posts and replaces them with his Photoshop interpretation of a better designed piece of work. http://www.idsgn.org/posts/guerrilla-typography/ Sadly, the posters he comes up with are not only harder to read than the original handwritten signs, but also less noticeable because they look like every other badly designed flyer/poster. Thanks, Asshole. Now I’ll never see my cat again.

Thanks to everyone that stopped by; we enjoyed giving you free beer, soda, and snacks. If you missed the show, you can see some flicks here. If you want to find out about future events you can join our mailing list. We’ll have most of the pieces for sale online soon. That way you can continue to live a life of solitude and eat it too. Speaking of eating, thanks also to Alyssa Sheldon for her fantastic foods.

We’ll be having a show of all our in-house & some customer work Saturday May 09. The show will feature prints on fabric, paper, metal, and wood. If we really like you, you’ll get a fancy printed invitation in your mail box. Feel free to bring well-behaved friends or that girl you’ve been trying to impress with how “into art” you are.

Our new cards are done. We know you like it thick but still need to impress your friends with how small your carbon footprint is, so we made them out of 90 point recycled chipboard.  They’re 1/10 of an inch thick. That’s half a pica if you’re a letterpress printer or somebody’s grandfather. For the rest of us who are living on pocket change and squatting in foreclosed homes, that’s equal to two pennies or the finger diameter of the…

Unless you are talking about the English back-up band for Cliff Richard, shadows are black. The British aren’t always a good example to follow anyway; ever heard them pronounce advertisement, schedule, or aluminum? This mistake with artwork is something we see a lot in the screen printing industry, and now in my neighborhood apparently. Usually it happens when people decide to save $25 on making a new screen for dark-colored shirts. Most prints start out as dark ink on light…

The first time I ever had fresh octopus was in Miyama, Japan. I was visiting my sister, who was teaching a 1st & 2nd grade class. The class was their equivalent of home economics where you learn how to cook. That’s right, 1st and 2nd graders learning how to cook. They not only cooked, but they also served and cleaned up their lunches every day in the cafeteria. They don’t play over there when it comes to raising kids. Anyway,…

A few people seem to be worried about America being outperformed by other world powers in the coming years. These fears seem to be somewhat founded, as one of the first warning signs is already showing up: better names. Chances are that unless you’re an international scientist, you have a boring name and will in turn pass mind-numbingly tedious appellations on to your dull children. Think about how many people you know named Jason, Heather, John, or Chris. If it’s…

Given the popularity of all-over print clothing (still?), I predict the next big thing will be chef pants. Mad chili peppers and broccolis all over your ass like someone went off on you with a salad shooter. But don’t listen to me–if you want the real inside word, make friends with a gay dude; they’re the taste makers sure enough. That’s been the way of the world since the 70s when drag queens would show up in the club sporting…

Two years ago, when gas got over $3 a gallon, everyone decided the environment was a legit problem and being a green consumer (or at least pretending you cared via conspicuous consumption) became trendy. If something we want is too expensive, we can fix it by buying something else, right? Now that there’s a shortage of gas you’re probably wondering what you can buy to fix that. Here’s a shortlist for you: Get some football equipment, tie a few dead…

We all know it’s harvest season. Otherwise you’d be in class right now pretending to take notes on your MacBook while actually updating your Facebook. You think you have the teacher fooled but she knows exactly what you’re doing and doesn’t care. Just like some of you don’t seem to care if anybody knows when you are coming into their lane on 85 South. Think of using your turn signal as saying to your fellow drivers “Hey, I don’t want…

So, we’re calling for a moratorium on wearing shirts with your favorite person on it. Unless it’s your Grandmother/father who you should want to be exactly like, even if they use racially inappropriate language for the 21st century. They lived through the Depression, probably helped raise you in ways you don’t even know about, and you repay them by wearing a Scarface shirt? Look, we’ve all done it, so don’t sit there nodding like you’ve not at least thought about…

We’ve had some free time at the shop waiting on UPS to deliver some packages, which has given us more time to explore the desert. Sadly, on our last tour we lost Richard. This photo was taken right before he was grabbed by what I think was a pterodactyl. If you see anything that looks like a large bird carrying a screaming midget near the West End, let us know where its nest is.

A very special Saturday here at Danger. Jess becomes a man and just in time for the Spring Equinox.

We have made a successful landing in the west end. The new joint has lots of space, friendly neighbors (Charlie Smith, Atlanta Printmakers Studio, Graphic Traffic) and a low murder rate. We’ll be pulling 4ft x 8ft prints soon. If you are in the West End Warehouses look for our pretty metal sign, if J ever finishes it. Check back for our re-opening party and don’t forget to bring your mom. It’s the least you can do since you never…

Ever notice how hung up people get on their job title? For instance they’ll get their panties in a tight wad over whether or not they’re a “Creative Director” or an “Art Director”. What’s the difference? I don’t know. Who cares, just do your job. When you get down to it, everybody is just a mover anyway. You may move a mouse, files, papers, a truck, a broom, dead bodies, hamburgers – whatever. If your business card says something besides…

We’d like to announce our new PR rep, Kali Ma. Formerly a resident of Kolkata, India she brings a new perspective to our work and we’re excited to have her on board here at Danger. “I wanted to work somewhere that appreciated me for who I am, not what I am to society. That’s a real problem in some parts of the world, especially for women.” says the former full-time demon-slayer. As a newcomer to the field of PR, Kali…

New shirts on the way. Look for more animals on upcoming designs because we like animals. They are delicious and fun to pet.

Spring time makes me want to reproduce. Well, maybe not actually reproduce but at least think about it. Really just taking walks and seeing people outside again before the sauna god created here hits in the summer is nice. It is also time for t-shirts, which is great because we need your money. Just click over to the quote section and get that “Jesus is my home girl” shirt you always thought was funny printed.

I think people get to the point with clothing choices where they don’t know what to do anymore, forget they’re legally adults, hit some reset button in their brain and start wearing stuff 3 year olds think is cool. For instance, all-over print primary colors and gold chains. If you’d been caught wearing your grandmother’s blouses and jewelry as a child, you would have probably been slapped; this should still happen. And we too wanted to be cowboys when we…

The only way you can get away from talking to a million different douche bags these days is to become so rough looking that they don’t want to talk to you. So, as they put on their all over print hoodie, I will put on my olive drab army parka. They match their socks to their shirts, I put on socks where my toes poke through. They wear shoes that look like a bowl of Fruit Loops, and I will…

Happy new year. We’ll be printing faster and better this year, so don’t be shy with the orders. We’d also like to mourn the passing of Reginald the rat. Reg was one of our first mascots, and he served us well. He was an accident but never let that hold him back in life. You faded from us slowly but too soon. Godspeed Reg.

MoDA (Museum of Design Atlanta) is doing an exhibit of T-shirts. Guess who will have some pieces in the show. Opening night is Thursday, October 19th 6-9pm. And don’t even think of staying after 9 because they will call the cops on you for sure. Show runs through January 13. You’ll see lots of work by people who consider themselves to be artists even though they produce multiple works that are nearly identical and meant for mass consumption. Or maybe…

People know hyperbole (pronounced hi-Per-bow-lee), “Hype” for short, when they hear it. Marketing and promoting your work is great but there’s a line you don’t want to cross. Ever wonder if marketing people read the stuff they come up with? If a clothing line is new and nobody has heard of it, they’re referred to as “fresh” or “hot” instead of “naive“ or “have no idea what they are getting themselves into”, which is usually more accurate. It’s a company,…

Come see our work at Pool in NYC July 17-19, booth B32. Lines showing are Black Black, Twentyfive Organization & Not Not Retarded. We love those guys really, but three days of standing around with them on a concrete floor in a room full of “fresh talent with established brands” will be a bit much. We’ll run out of civil conversation by day two and all that will be left is that awkwardness that sets in like when you’re eating…

Because what the world needs is one more shirt with a declarative statement on it, we bring you this guy. Potentially our most unpopular shirt to date.

Time to tear down walls and make new friends. Your old ones were starting to get on your last nerve anyway. Always making up verbs out of stupid web nomenclature like “blogging” and sporting your personal fashion ideas without asking permission. So, in the spirit of making new friends we’re looking for interns. If you’re not too much of a monkey and can spare the time from updating your myspace account, send us your resume. Expect to work hard and…

We’ve just finished printing ammo cans and shirts for the new Urban Medium project: Heavy Ammunition. See our beautiful work live at Yo-Yo boutique in Atlanta, Saturday Nov. 19 or order yours from the Heavy Ammunition site.

You can smell fall coming in the streets. The late evening sunlight has begun to turn from white to orange. Something else you can smell in the streets: fashion. All summer the downtown kids were rocking either 4XL white T-shirts or knee length white dresses. If you know which it is please share the knowledge. New shirt in the store.

We’re back from holiday and ready to get down. However, it now looks like we are booked through the end of June. Give us a call around Independence Day when we come up for air and light our newly legalized sparklers.

Doing a little spring cleaning at the old shop. Look for the first pieces in our shirt line soon.

Our shiny new shirt calculator is up in the quote section with fresh batteries.

If you’re gonna be at the Pool show in Vegas Feb. 14 – 16 (and who won’t be) check out our work for Black Black at booth H 45.

The doors are open and the lights are on.
