Sunburn on our prints???
Elephant Walk Antiques and Interiors + Mama’s Sauce = super rad screen printed tapestries.
When you start talking about 5 ft screen prints, we have to start thinking creatively around here… i.e. Something that big we have to burn in the sun and then hose out in the parking lot. Check out some pics of the process…
There’s no job too big for the sauce!
To screen print Orr not to screen print.
Clark Orr is a bad boy. That’s all I really have to say.
Check out this 24×36 behemoth that he sent our way to
print for Everygreen Terrace’s 10th anniversary show in
Jacksonville, FL and see if you agree…
All hail the face of Mama!
New sauce stickers now shipping with every order…
PS, T-Minus 30-days until the official Mama’s Sauce website
launches! Imagine being able to order just about any type of
printed matter in one place? It’s coming.
Happy birthday to you
Some people know how to do it right… I mean – how many sweet 16 party’s have screen printed invitations, show posters, and a touring band? Not enough if you ask me. Bring on the birthday parties and long live rock n’ roll.
We had a blast with designing and printing this piece. Gotta love it when a client gives you copy and a theme and then says do whatever you want.
Love for the large format
So our main man Chase over at Fiction hired us to print some 1 of 1 photos on our Glicee large format printer that documented his year in photographs. The 24×36 behemoths covered everything from the inauguration to B10 bombers and scuba diving. Each was finished off with a hand screen printed 1 of 1 tag and signed. You may have noticed Chase’s acute eye in the mini-doc he did on our Kluge earlier in the year. The guy has mega talent and a rippin’ Canon 5D MKII.
The deadly combo makes great prints and stunning video. Look out for flying dogs.

She’s a wiz I tell you… A wiz.
We’re so proud to help spread the word that our old neighbor, and good friend, Anna Bond has officially launched her website for Rifle Paper Co.
Rifle is a fine collection of stationary goods, some of which are printed here at Mama’s Sauce. While I’d love to claim to be their biggest fan, there is competition, as their work has been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, O Magazine, and Design Sponge, to name a few…
Most recently we’ve screen printed a collection of fine cards [1,2,3,4] and some beautiful wrapping paper [1,2] for Rifle, both of which are available in their new store.
This week in posters
Here are some of our favorite posters that we’ve printed in the super recent…
Each will link to the artist and/or musician. Enjoy.
A Colorful Invite.
When Steve and Rachel brought in a brightly colored, hand-dyed, silk scarf from Malaysia as a design inspiration piece – we knew that this was going to be a fun invite to do… Designed and printed by our very own Austin, this invite is as colorful as it is complex… A 4-color screen print, tri-folded, with a die-cut top – all on French Paper. Made from scratch here at Mama’s Sauce.
We have a few more invites in the pipeline that we’ll be sharing very soon.
Thanks to Anna for taking these great pictures for us.
Check that fine print(ing)….
A few months back our good friend Anna at Rifle Design approached us to screen print a piece that she was asked to do for Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine – and for a few months we’ve thought her to be a complete liar. Turns out though, she’s not. See the photographic proof. We took the liberty of circling the fine print containing the sauce shout out. Martha’s definitely big enough for us to be stoked about our name in small print.
Screen printing = business cards not being crap.
I’m hoping you’ve seen the ‘you’re business card is crap’ video…
If not – search it in youtube. I fear posting it here would just make us
look like we’re terribly behind the times… Well, we’re not, I swear.
Moving on… The cure for crap business cards? Well, I don’t think you necessary
need to die-cut, emboss, foil, score, and do everything else to them like the
aforementioned video prescribes… Heck, I’ll even go as far to say that you don’t
even need to letterpress them. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to letterpress your cards.
But, it doesn’t always prove the best option for the design.
Case in point. Check this Maven designed card that we screen printed and had laser-cut…
A screen printed card can accomplish the near impossible (white print on black card stock) while providing a more cost effective way to make something truly unique.
