Printsperation: Museo Ferrari, Maranello, Italy

How can we escape to Italy and not pay homage to Maranello? A mecca of impeccable design and engineering, it is home to the Ferrari factory, Scuderia Ferrari Formula One racing team and the Museo Ferrari…

Spectacular design is everywhere…

A special section for Ferraris in the movies…

These retro styles and color combinations had us floored…

Driven with all this inspiration, of course we wanted more! Our next pitstop… 15-18 kilometers away in Modena for the Museo Enzo Ferrari. Stay tuned for more design and print inspiration!

Danilo Franco x Evolution of Printing

We were delighted when THE Danilo Franco had contacted us to do a silkscreen for one of his projects.

Besides being one of the best fashion designers the Philippines has to offer (and the most humble), he is also an INCREDIBLE fashion illustrator. We love the way he comes up with inspiration for his work as there’s always a story behind it…

Who knew that the banana leaf print we silkscreened for him…

Would be transformed into this brilliant origami-like vest…

WOW!!!!

Do Us a (Wedding) Favor

He loves motorcycles. She’s one-eyed and living it. We placed the two together and came up with a logo for this entertaining union.

The logo was part of Guada x Inaki’s customized bandannas. Here’s the bigger picture…

Eyeing the fun details…

Love is blind… And so is my wife.

These made-to-order bandannas were given away as wedding favors during Guada x Inaki’s European union. We’re sure they were especially useful for wiping those tears of joy/tears for fears as they said their “eye-do’s”.

Most people are familiar with the bandanna as a fashion accessory such as a head/neck scarf or fabric bracelet (and to wipe off sweat). Here’s how some of our favorite international photographers and photo editors wear their “Eye-Do’s” on their forehead…

Another international photographer, Daemon Becker, while on a shoot in Umbria, Italy.

“If you wear it, they will come.”… Master photo/video editor, Jake (the Snake) Espedido while on assignment in Palawan.

International photographer, Paco Guerrero takes the “Eye-Do” on a mission with the World Health Organization in Tacloban.

Other uses for the handy bandanna… After eating, use it to wipe your hands. How about as aromatherapy? Simply apply a few drops of essential oils onto your bandanna. Keep in your bar or closet. Need a little pick-me-up? Douse an energizing scent (such as citrus) mid-day to revitalize. Lavender at night to help you sleep and eucalyptus to battle the sniffles. Don’t forget to cover your sneeze with it… Bless you!

Then there are fans of “Furoshiki” (the Japanese way of wrapping things) which uses fabric as carriers for their packed meals, cookies or even a bottle of wine…

Wrapping locally sourced Italian grappa.

The bridesmaids did a wonderful job wrapping it up.

A fashion design student approached us to silkscreen her original design onto satin. Et voila!…

Above the Clouds with EO Philippines

We were very excited when we got a request to design and print t-shirts for EO Philippines, the Entrepreneur’s Organization of the Philippines.

Check out the video of their latest adventure where EO Philippines has hosted a trek to Mt. Pulag, “… the third highest mountain in the Philippines. It is Luzon’s highest peak at 2,922 meters above sea level. The borders between the provinces of Benguet, Ifugao, and Nueva Vizcaya meet at the mountain’s peak.“-Above The Clouds, EO Philippines Mt. Pulag Trek…

Inspired by the Cordillera tribal warrior…

Front design.

Back design.

We decided on this beautiful Cordillera-inspired design complete with a tattooed sleeve…

Thank you, Mr. Leon Araneta of EO Philippines, for this photo.

 

It’s All in the Mix!

So we had this idea for the ultimate made-to-order design + silk-screening service… Rather than cutting and sewing two or more patterns together, wouldn’t it be great to come up with prints that incorporate those patterns into one screen? Your final product would be an interesting and unique mix of prints and patterns to create one quirky design…
Quick-sketching and watercoloring makes “work” fun and is always the initial stage of our evolution of printing…

Honeycomb and flowers.

Can you guess what this is?

Calesa wheels and stripes.

Then follows the computer rendering…

Stained flowers and honeycomb.

So were you able to guess what our subject matter is here? The answer is stated on the caption.

On a a gradient background, a bird’s eye view of ballgown-skirted dancers.

Finally printed on canvas, our friends at Bowery were very eager to experiment with our fabric designs and played around with the concept of leather-trimmed tote bags…

Do these Evolution of Printing original designs tickle your fancy? You may contact us at evolutionofprinting@yahoo.com if you’re interested in ordering these designs on canvas. Or you can even provide the fabric to create that cool dress, wall art or whatever you feel would best maximize these unique prints!

If you would like us to design for you or if have an existing design you’ve been excited to see printed on fabric…

Silk-screened by hand, the old-fashion way…

Excited to be working on our latest print… Coming soon!

Save the Laguna Pit Bulls!

The t-shirts we designed and printed for our favorite charity, CARA Welfare Philippines, and their cause to  “Save the Laguna Pit Bulls”. CARA stands for Compassion and Responsibility for Animals.

The wonderful CARA ladies, Maria Parson, Tanya Guerrero and Owen Santos with the dog whisperer, Cesar Millan.

For those who are not familiar with this cause… An estimated 230 pitbulls were rescued from a dog-fighting syndicate in Laguna.

According to CARA, “The 230 rescued Laguna pit bulls presented overwhelming challenges for the rescuers. Many of the animals were found in very poor health. They were cruelly chained to posts buried in filthy mud with nothing more than cut-out steel drums for shelter. They were terribly malnourished with wounds inflicted during dog-fighting. Many were suffering from exposure to the elements.

Despite medical care, many dogs perished or had to be euthanized to end their suffering. Today, 170 remain and we continue to medicate them daily because of their ill health from the poor living conditions in Laguna… “

To learn more, please log onto Save the Laguna Pit Bulls. Updates are also on their Save the Laguna Pit Bulls Facebook page.

Coming soon! The Great CARA Garage Sale. The remaining few of our “Save the Laguna Pit Bulls” t-shirts will be sold here…

You can donate your items until November 15, 2014… OR shop during the sale! Date/s are still being finalized as we speak so please like the CARA Facebook page to receive updates. We’ll be keep everyone posted as well on our Evolution of Printing Facebook page.

Riding High with 13 Lucky Monkey

Internalizing… Feeling bad to the bone with 13 Lucky Monkey (a bad-a$s design duo of biker rings and jewelry) in order to produce some sketches for their customized bandannas…

13 Lucky Monkey x Evolution of Printing are forever fans of “Furoshiki”, literally meaning bath spread. A traditional Japanese way of wrapping basically anything, mostly as bundling or transporting things like bento boxes, a bottle of wine, fruits, cookies, or for wrapping presents and purchases as an eco-friendly alternative to paper and plastic and is considered “an indispensable tool in Japanese life”.

Modern ways to use this piece of cloth is as a fashion accessory like a scarf or a bandanna. Tie them onto your bag as an accent or hang them on the wall as décor. The possibilities are endless!

Thank you to the Ministry of the Environment Government of Japan for providing this wonderful, easy-to-follow guide.

We highly encourage establishments in using this reusable style of packaging for their products.

The final design.

To wrap your shades… Because you need them both when you go out riding.

As a form of packaging for their biker jewelry.

Our second run, this time with a different colored paint…

Back for more! 13 Lucky Monkey’s unique collaboration with Heima’s My Apt. They requested us to print a smaller version on canvas to wrap their decorative and functional hooks…

“We are inspired by the motorcycles we ride, the culture that goes along with it—the rock ‘n’ roll music, tattoos, religious iconography—it all goes hand in hand.” -13 Lucky Monkey
