Cooking up the beta mode

I don’t know what to say. I’m SO excited. It has been 2 years since we thought to make a website for this thing called Mama’s Sauce – and today, it’s finally happened!

Welcome! This is it. If you have been a customer or fan for any amount of time, you would have heard about it’s coming… We’ve promised it, and promised it, and promised it… So, for all of you who have been waiting – here you go. Thank you so much for your patience. If you’re just stumbling on to us and what we do, welcome! It’s an exciting time!

So here’s what you need to know… Over the next two weeks this site is going to be poked and prodded by us and you. It works and the products and services are for sale starting now! So feel free to order. Also, feel free to send in any feedback. We would love to know how you see this experience being better than what we’ve dreamed up so far. Also, products will be added over these next 2 weeks, so don’t be bashful about checking back in as we steadily move through this beta phase.

Sneak Peak!

So, it’s just around the corner… The convergence of the interwebs, old fashion letterpress printing, custom flat stock and textile screen printing, and of course full color print goodness… All of which will be neatly wrapped in a fashionable, and easily navigable, website – giving you the ability to order just about any print process from one place… When is it coming? Soon. Very soon. As we move closer, I would like to invite you to sign up for the email list (above in the header), so we can let you know exact dates as they approach. We’ll also let you know about the killer pricing that we’ll be offering for the first month of the new site.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you a sneak peak of the upcoming Mama’s Sauce website…

Did you check out Step 2? Yup. You’ll choose the product, then HOW you want it printed. We’re giving you the control to dictate process. Amped? We are.

It’s all happening.

Back Dat Bass Up Sons!

So it’s been a few weeks and we’ve finally recovered from Orlando Creative’s First Annual Fishing Tournament…

It was an amazing dusk till dawn affair chock full of wicked sunburns, great logo design, row boats littering creative spaces, and an all around great excuse to work outside… Ever screen print t-shirts on a loading dock before?

IMG_0489BassFPO-FINALIMG_0402IMG_0407IMG_0442IMG_0426

Two-man/woman boats. No motors. 2 paddles and 4 lakes. Catch and release. It was a dusk to dawn affair that we co-hosted with the oh so rad Fiction.

As is it was a gathering for/by creatives – we had to have a stellar logo. If the logo caught your eye, know that it was illustrated by the super rad Brian Boesch of Itchy Illustration. Type treatment by our very own Austin Petito.

Brian takes up residence at the sauce in his very own cubicle. You know all of the Colt 45 you drink? Yeah, he did the mustang rearing up on the side of that ice cold can of goodness. No big deal.

Next years tourney promises to be even bigger and much badder. If you’re an Orlando creative – make sure you’re on our list to get the invite. Perhaps the best way would be to befriend the tourney on Facebook.

Have your t-shirts printed here.

Hello world!

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.

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!

**UPDATE – WE HAVE CLOSED TAKING APPLICATIONS FOR THIS POSITION**

Mama’s Sauce is looking for someone… Someone special. A hybrid really. We are currently in need of a person who is organized and passionate about being so, while also having an appreciation for the creative – specifically print and design. We shall call this person, ‘the shoppe co-ordinator’. This is the the person who takes pride in being the backbone of an organization, making sure that all of the steps happen from A to Z, and then making sure that us crazy’s here actually make the print happen. Once said print is delivered, it is also important that he or she is able to feel the same pride that we with paint on our hands do, as we all really do create everything here as a team.

While it would take more words than I care to type to accurately describe all that the shoppe co-ordinator does, I can give a brief summation. It’s all in the name really. It’s about co-ordinating, funneling, orchestrating. It’s about systems. Yes, it does have some office management aspects, but this person is more than that. And while it is true that this position is also synonymous with ‘accounts receivable’, this term too hardly does justice to what this person is and does.

This is a carefully worded announcement, as it is meant to reach the right person. The lover of systems and art. Is that you? Care to chat about it?

We are but a small and humble company looking for someone to enjoy life with us. If you think that may be you, below is how to go about looking into this position… If this isn’t you, but you know someone who it may be, please send them this blog link.

The Poster Cause Project

A few months ago a guy named Anthony contacted us about full color poster rates for a website that uses limited poster releases to raise money for assorted charities. Using the arts for good. Well, the designs started coming in from Anthony and we printed them… And, it seems that it was a hit.

The Poster Cause Project is it’s name, and it’s the newest, greatest place to shop for your wall art. It’s super easy shop and just as easy to see just how well each poster does by it’s respective beneficiary.

As far as I know, we’re their official printer, and we couldn’t be more proud to take part in what they do.
Take some time to see just what it is that they do.

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…
