Trim Tab Graphic Design (toot, toot) Chicago IL
Ork founder Jenny Beorkrem's freelance design arm
Screwball Press Chicago IL
Home to the Chicago's largest rock screen print collection... Oh and 100% of Ork's screen prints are printed here.
Coudal Partners Chicago IL
The best way to tell you what they do is for you to see it for yourself. Just go to the site.
Aesthetic Apparatus Minneapolis MN
Some of the finest looking rock prints of late are being squirted out by the Aesthetic Apparatus crew.
Jeff Boyes Vancouver BC
Another artist/screen printer doing things 'a little differently'. In his case it usually involves the face of a musician or actor and some great color choices.
Dan Grzeca Chicago IL
If you've met Dan Grzeca, consider yourself lucky... he's one of the coolest out there. And he makes some darn good lookin posters.
Ryan Kapp Chicago IL
A talented artist and friend of Ork- we love his "lights in the windows" painting series and both his prints - "Chicago in Fall" and "Skokie Night".
Campfire Goods Akron OH
Some very well-designed state and city-related Tshirts.
Raygun Des Moines IA
Owner Mike D went all the way to the East Coast for an Ivy League education, then turned around and came right back to Des Moines to open a Tshirt shop... good thing the T's are incredibly awesome so his parents couldn't get mad at him for it. (like... "America, only the insured survive", and "Dance it out bitch!") Be sure to check out the 'Etc' link there, it's funny.
Frank Chimero Springfield MO
A talented graphic designer and illustrator. Also has a print series based on shapes of different states.
The Bird Machine Chicago IL
Website of illustrator Jay Ryan, who first learned to print at Screwball Press (see above). Maybe when you're this good it's easy to have a list of 'clients' that include Swell Season, Broken Social Scene, Andrew Bird, My Morning Jacket, Decemberists, Shins, Lews Black and Spoon... maybe.
Delicious Design League Chicago IL
Another great duo of designers/illustrators/screen printers shaking up the scene in Chicago and beyond.
SonnenZimmer Chicago IL
And yet ANOTHER duo of artists/designers/screen printers doing their thing in the Windy City
Daytrotter Rock Island IL
FREE MUSIC ALERT!! Yes and it's legal. Daytrotter flags down bands traveling west from Chicago and lures them into playing a few songs in the Daytrotter studio, which they then so kindly record and release on their website for people like you and me to download FOR FREE! Absolutely brilliant.
