This doesn't happen often, but there is a reality show currently in HGTV called "Salvage Dogs" that features and endless variety of our (screen printing) work.  Pretty cool.

I was watching Hardcore Pawn and a guy came into their shop with a shirt own that I printed.  I went on vacation once to Paris, France and I took the elevator up the eiffel tower and a guy was standing next to me with a shirt on that I printed.  If anyone has ever seen the documentary on HBO about Obama getting elected the first time, I printed almost every shirt you see in that movie.  To name a few!

That is awesome guys. Right on. I have been lucky over the years to run a few shops that were mostly in the music realm (bands, record labels, all that). I have seen shirts either I have printed myself or were responsible for in countries from Sweden and Norway all the way to Mexico. It is very cool indeed! My favorite (or least favorite memory) was a band called Modest Mouse. A one color print, dark on lite, on a manual press in the corner. I think they did about 10,000 of those every month. For a loooooong time. It just stayed up and either new guys were tested on it or when there was down time it was printed. It was just a constant job so it was always up

We did one for Snoop Dogg and he wore it on the VMA's. That guy is like a 145 pounds and we ran 5 3x tall's for him. Looked goofy but it generated a 20k order for the customer in less than 2 weeks that we got to run.

Back in the 90's we did the girls unifroms for Eastern Kentucky. They played on ESPN.
Very cool!
