Black Dahlia Murder “Deflorate” T-Shirts
No comments · Share · Posted by Jakprints in Videos, Work
We just printed another amazing and colorful t-shirt for metalcore sensation The Black Dahlia Murder. The design is based off the cover of their latest release “Deflorate”. We produced two versions: a 10 color simulation on white Alstyle #1901 shirts, and that same 10 color simulation using a white base on black shirts. We put together a quick video to give you a behind the scenes look at the making of it. The shirt and their new album “Deflorate” are available online at indiemerchstore.com.

Canadian deathcore band Despised Icon just released their new album “Day of Mourning”. As part of the promotion for the new release they are selling a package deal, including t-shirts printed at Jakprints. The shirts we produced are a full color reproduction of the album artwork, and we created both a white dye sublimation version, and a black silk screened version.

The One and Only Theatre Bizarre
2 Comments · Share · Posted by Jakprints in Techniques, Work

Let me just put it like this: Masquerade, music, fire, leather, zombie-clowns, burlesque, conjoined twins, bullwhips, skeletons… in Detroit? I mean, come on! Do you get what I’m saying? Okay you’re just going to have to visit Theatre Bizarre and check out their Facebook or Myspace to understand. Or if you’re lucky enough, maybe you can score some tickets to go this October 24th.

We just finished printing the tickets and postcard invites for this years Theatre Bizarre. The tickets ran full color on our 13pt uncoated card stock (100% Recycled). The uncoated stock along with the artwork really ads to the vintage feel of the piece.

The postcard invites are printed with a 5th spot color, PMS 871 Gold. The metallic ink sets off these wonderfully detailed illustrations from artist John Dunivant. The cards also got a finishing touch with a 3/8 inch radius rounded corners, making them just like the virtual cards on TheatreBizarre.com.

Since they couldn’t find their dream jobs college buddies Sean Higgins and Nicholas Rezabek created their own. In 2006 they began The Bubble Process, a two man design and illustration firm. They specialize in screenprinted posters that are produced in limited runs. They have created posters (see below) for Bon Iver, Mogwai, Death Cab For Cutie, Au Revoir Simone, Andrew Bird, and The Breeders.

With one foot planted in Cleveland, Ohio and the other in Brooklyn, New York the guys behind The Bubble Process regularly come together by the magical link we know as the World Wide Web to share ideas, files, notes, and jokes.
