5] COOL: SUNDAY PRINT CO. Make Your Own T-Shirts, Stickers, & More!!
"The idea for Sunday Print Co was conceived when Los Angeles native
Paul Caruso and Pennsylvania transplant Tim Guza met while working in
a West LA t-shirt shop. After a year of working under the direction of
absentee owners and deadbeat management, the pair decided they might
as well split and do things on their own. They scraped together whatever
money they could, purchased some equipment, and Sunday Print Co was born.
Paul and Tim can now be found in their humble workshop designing and
printing t-shirts for a well-rounded list of clients that includes bands,
non-profit organizations, schools, restaurants, and contractors. Be on the
lookout for Sunday's original line of apparel and skateboards in the
not-so-distant future." (Sunday Print Co.)
[Another BIG thanks to Lisa, again, for this HOT "IT!" tip.]
