about me

Hannah Manocchio is a local artist who has backgrounds in printmaking, art history, painting, lettering, and sharks. she prides herself in random fun facts, italian guilt, and feminist outbursts. her life motto: “if i cant wear sweatpants, i dont want to go.” In addition to being the owner, printer, and every other job in the book - she also teaches inner city and after school youth programs aimed to teach not only the basics of screen printing and printmaking. these courses not only teach the kids the basics of print but also how to brand themselves and use the skill and lessons in an attempt to open their eyes to “art as a career” with or without college education.

about our apparel

as mentioned above, we print everything by hand. we use water-base inks as opposed to plastic-based inks. this keeps us green, amongst other things. it also yields a slightly different look than what plastic inks offer — these days often confused with iron-on transfers. you'll see a little bit more of the "process" in our apparel — a look we value as it lets us know it was done by hand, not machine.

inclusivity: all of our tees are sized from S-3X, our hoodies from S-2X - we recognize that not everyone fits or prefers those parameters and as we strive to make our apparel as inclusive as possible: we would be happy to custom order and print any size piece of apparel you may want or need.

we take a lot of pride in developing this stuff on our own and we hope you dig our stuff as much as we do. despite our terrible affected demeanors, we would love to hear from you. please contact us with any and all questions, praise, and issues.
