TEE: Broccoli Revenge

Dan — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 23:45:56 +0000

We did some kids shirts of this a while ago and people asked us for the adult tee, so here it is at last. However, kid or adult, remember to eat your broccoli before it eats you! Note: this tshirt is not guaranteed to protect you from broccoli in any way. Etsy, as always.

Space Invaders!

Dan — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:36:49 +0000

Who doesn’t love a classic? These have been out around town for a few weeks now but they’re now available online at our Etsy store. Tee is available in orange and blue.

NEW TEE: CMYK Lines

Dan — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 02:28:31 +0000

Been a while since we popped our heads up, but we’re very much alive and very much busy. Check out this recent print with Justin Hanks’ retro CMYK lines. Printed on American Apparel’s tasty new “Butter” tees. It’s on Etsy, more to come…

Fresh Vermont Shirts

Dan — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 22:24:27 +0000

We’ve been getting some printing done here at the shop, both new and old stuff. One of the “new” prints is an alteration of our classic town grid of Vermont. We printed this run on the incredibly soft 50/50 women tees from American Apparel. Being soft and thin, having a deeper neck and a form-fitting cut, its a great tee for summer. Get ‘em on Etsy.

Get your Garamon!

Dan — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 18:02:04 +0000

Today is a sad day at Unknown Arts since tomorrow our beloved Paddy Charles will be leaving to refresh his inspiration and spread his art around the world. His journey begins in Denver, but where does it end? Will it ever end? Will Paddy become immortal and live forever to spread his art for eternity? Whatever happens, Paddy’s magnificent designs will still be available on our tees thanks to the communicative power of the internet (that thing you’re using right now). Pictured is Paddy’s Garamon t-shirt, his interpretation of the not-so-famous Japanese monster on a sweet American Apparel tee, grab yours on Etsy.

SMokey NO!

Good evening, before we get to the rest of the news Unknown Arts would like to say a tearful goodbye to beloved Smokey the Bear. We are no longer printing or selling the shirt due to this fine piece of legal jargon-

- a cease and desist notice from Smokey’s handlers. Fortunately, Mr. Allen received no jail time and is, as of this posting, a free man.

In other news, we’ve been printing more shirts to sell in retail stores around VT. You can currently find Unknown Arts shirts at Battery St. Jeans, the Bern Gallery, Growing VT (in the Davis Center @ UVM), The Film Buzz in Richmond, and as always, on our Etsy store. We’ve got some new designs printed and we’ve even set up a little retail space in our shop so feel free to come by and check it out! We’ve also done some more shirts for Bolton Valley’s ‘Night Rider Series’

As well as some custom hoodies for the Park Crew. Check out some more Night Rider action pics here! Look at those little kids go! Check back soon for more new tees, some hoodies, and some other news (most likely). Pics on the FB are here.

See You Next Year

Curt — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 19:11:50 +0000

We teamed up with Paddy Charles to bring you this very special hollandaise message. Have fun and we’ll see you next year! Thanks everybody!

Dan — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 23:52:15 +0000

New Stuff and The Indian Princess Debut!

Curt — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 19:58:08 +0000

Hey everyone!

We’re back on the blog-o-sphere after a late fall hiatus. But that doesn’t mean we haven’t been keeping busy. Quite the contrary! The custom work has been steadily coming in and we’ve been enhancing the shop to keep up with the demand. Dan has been building stuff, new tables, drawers, and a new drying rack for screens. Scott and our good friend/mechanical consultant Jonah have successfully upgraded our press from 4 to 6 colors and Scott also assembled a single color print station so we now have double the printing capabilities! We also recently printed a job for our old friend Joe Dimeck. You may remember him from RoneBreak.com and the Mallettstock Festival. Lately he’s been managing a band down in Jersey called Indian Princess and we did some limited edition posters in collaboration with artist of the Unknown Paddy Charles.

If you happen to catch the band at a show pick up a poster and tell em Unknown Arts sent you. Their debut self-titled album can be downloaded immediately for whatever price you wanna pay! Joe did a good job of describing the band so here’s a copy of what he told us:

“After many fun and dirty days in Brooklyn, spaced out over the course of a month or so, Indian Princess’ debut album is finally available for free download. For a band that consists of people under the age of 24, the collection of songs they produced is surprisingly mature. Breezy, soulful rock that has a comforting familiarity, but also a certain special charm that is kind of unexplainable–sort of like the name Indian Princess, which is odd yet quite fitting.”

We’ve got a copy of the album and give it the thumbs up! Go get a copy today! The posters will also be available on our Etsy store in the near future.

Speaking of Etsy, we’ve been printing some new shirts and taking a bunch of pics of everything. We’re getting pretty close to a major update to our online store just in time for the holidays! Expect to see some new shirts from Dan, Scott, Phill, and Paddy plus a few other surprises. We’ve been working on expanding our reach in the realm of retail sales and we’ll soon be selling our shirts at the Bern Gallery, the Clothing Line, and possibly Growing Vermont at the Davis Center in addition to Battery Street Jeans. We should have another post soon to confirm all of this but in the meantime check out some recent Facebook fun!
