My business
Me and my brother own a t-shirt printing business. We started about 2 years ago. Its name is AlphaInk. We enjoy doing this as a hobby, but it has grown to give us back some money. We silk screen t-shirts, hats, business cards, water bottles, mugs etc... We are in the process of buying a embroidery machine, so we can expand our cliental. Me and my brother contribute differently towards our business. I design and print the t-shirts, he finds the different companies that would like our services and he puts the money. We work on our printing business when we have spare time, but right now it has been hard, since Im going to school full-time and he works and goes to school full-time. We had a few clients that have ordered t-shirts from us. This clients are usually friends that have their own business. One of the main ones is a sushi restaurant own by Curt. The name of the restaurant is called Simply Sushi. Curt ordered 100 t-shirts for his business. He ordered white long sleeve t-shirts with the Simply Sushi logo in the middle and in the back part the Simply Sushi fish. The process that involves creating this type of t-shirt with two colors is the same process I have described recently on my blog, but using two different screens for the two color. Me and my brother will continue on. Hopefully one day it will grow to be something more.

I think your company is really cool. I had a class in high school where we had to design and create our own t-shirts. It was really an interesting and fun class. I can remember trying to make a Smashing Pumpkins t-shirt but I misaligned the shirt and the logo on the shirt was very off because I didn't align it correctly. Needless to say, the shirt was a disaster. So, I am impressed.
