The print archive

The archive prints, explained

We went through our own boxes, ads and slogans, pulled seven designs, and put them on cotton. This is the shelf for people whose thumbs remember.

What the prints are

The Original Tablet and My First Tablet play on what the red frame was to anyone born before touchscreens. Twist My Knobs and Shaking Things Up come from the two motions everyone knows. Dig That Magic Screen, Sketchy and Powered By Imagination round out the set from our ad archive.

Three fabrics, one art

Most prints come as a classic cotton tee. The heaviest wear, Twist My Knobs, also lands on a sweatshirt for cold mornings and on performance fabric for people who apparently jog in their nostalgia. The art is the same across cuts; pick by weather, not by print.

Cuts and colors

Several prints come in separate men’s and women’s cuts, and a few in more than one color. Each cut and color is its own card on this site, so the exact thing in the photo is the exact thing on the listing. No surprises at the mailbox.

Who these are for

Grown-ups who had the frame, mostly buying for themselves and calling it a gift. A print plus a Pocket frame makes a complete present: one half says you remember, the other half hands the knobs to the next pair of hands.
