Yesterday was David Bowie’s birthday, and as Philly Loves Bowie Week comes to a close, I wanted to share a work in progress.

This shirt has been developing slowly — through printing tests, revisions, and a lot of care — and it’s almost ready.

More soon.🤘

A little behind-the-scenes look at how I print the Philly Skyline tees.

Every shirt is pulled by hand here in my shop, using eco-friendly water-based inks. Flood the screen, double pull, lift — and there’s the Skyline, fresh every time.

Thanks for supporting small-batch Philly designers. Printing like this takes time, but it’s worth it to keep things personal, local, and crafted with care.

Thanks for being here.

No AI - ever - just my own research, site visits, photography, and about a hundred hand drawn rough drafts, to depict Philly the way I see it. A little love letter to the city.

Some designs come together effortlessly. Others, like this one, demand refinement, iteration, and persistence to get just right. After multiple prototypes, we’ve created something truly special—an artistic take on the Philadelphia skyline at night, brought to life through a unique vertical line screen technique.

Instead of traditional printing, this design uses ink to capture the highlights, while the shadows remain the black fabric, creating a striking, high-contrast effect that feels both bold and understated. The result? A completely unique look that showcases Philly in a way you’ve never seen before.

If the image looks familiar, you may have spotted it in our Affordable Art series of framed prints. This tee makes the perfect companion piece—wear the art, display the art, and show your love for Philly in style.

Hard-won and worth it—we think you’ll love it as much as we do.

Friends, we’re kicking off 2025 with a renewed commitment to traditional craft and the human touch. In a world buzzing with stories about artificial intelligence creating fantastical, almost-too-real images, we’re inspired to lean the other way—embracing an analog approach that celebrates authenticity.

Our Affordable Art series of photographic prints is crafted using vintage mechanical cameras—built for film, not batteries. Film photography creates something tangible: a true, unfiltered record of the moment the shutter clicks. And honestly, we think you’d love trying it too!

This year, we’re excited to explore the natural and built environments of our beautiful city, camera in hand, and we’d love for you to join us on this journey.

Now, about this image. You’ll likely recognize the iconic Philadelphia skyline and the famous Rocky statue. But wait—that’s not the statue you’re thinking of. The original still stands proudly at the base of the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps. For Philadelphia’s Rocky Week celebration, Sylvester Stallone generously loaned his personal copy of the statue to temporarily sit atop the legendary “Rocky Steps” for fans to enjoy. While that statue has since been returned, we captured it on film—the same way the early Rocky movies were made.

Oh, and speaking of statues—did you know there’s a third one? And if you happen to have a spare million-and-a-half dollars, the sculptor might just let you take it home.

In the meantime, our photographic prints are far more budget-friendly—and they’re waiting for you. Take a piece of Philadelphia home with you today!

As the year winds down, we’re giving our keyboards and screens a well-deserved rest—or at least trying to! With 2025 just around the corner, it’s hard to disconnect and truly rejuvenate when there’s so much to dream about and plan for.

Lately, we’ve been putting pen to paper—yes, actual paper—to capture our goals and inspirations for the year ahead. There’s something refreshing about slowing down and letting ideas flow by hand.

We hope your holiday season is filled with moments of rest, reflection, and joy. Here’s to a bright and inspiring 2025!✌
