2009 Review: Print Liberation

Date
14 December 2009

To launch the first issue of the publication we were keen that everybody that pre-ordered the issue got something a little special and Print Liberation provided exactly that. The image went on to feature in our first shop collection and will be re-printed in the new year.

Print Liberation’s image from 2009 is this, “That’s what it feels like inside our brains…”

Mark out of 9 for 2009?

8. It was a pretty good year, we opened a store front Yikes!

Best new discovery?

The 24 hour Mcdonald’s in Times Square.

Best idea?

What were you doing this time last year?

Freaking out about everything.

Somebody above our studio forgot to hook up the washing machine drain hose which made it rain brown water on some 200 freshly printed shirts. We challenged them to a showdown in the desert and they never showed up.

The new years eve glasses where the 00 of the year are the rims. The debate over weather to say “twenty-ten” or “two-thousand-ten.”
