Our first studio party/live printing event was a blowout! The music was pumpin and the ink was flyin’! Matt Locher of Solid Gold and Ken of AH improvised some t-shirts on the spot for all the party people who weren’t busy dancing.

Eric Inkala has been a friend of ours for a while and a staple of the Minneapolis art scene for many years. We’ve commissioned 2 artworks from his sketch book produced T-shirt artwork. We will be re-releasing some remixes of those soon. For the art show, I am mashing up some of my new work & revisiting one of the designs we bought from him – exploring various techniques, dye, discharge, & screen printing…yes on a T-shirt!

Our friend, fashion writer, blogger and stylist, Le Petit Connaisseur de la Mode commissioned some exclusive one-off creations from the bowls of the Anthem Heart studio, so I cranked out some abstractions inspired by VHS video distortion. I recall the days when rough overdubs of my favorite movies with my moms soap operas may have intrigued me and scared me at the same time.
