It's quiet...too quiet.

We have survived the holiday rush and now it's time for the next big projects....so what'll it be?

We're ready for anything, so send us an email at skyhawkpress@gmail.com with your order for decals, shirts, tees, bags, and more!  We can meet or beat any price out there.

Merry Christmas from all of the Skyhawk Press Family :)

Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday season!  Below is one of the newest members of our friends, Scarlett.  She is sporting a custom hat and is a week-and-a-half-old :)

A Custom Retirement Invitation

Things have been busy busy at the shop recently.  We've done a lot of one-offs which are very fun as we get to come up with things that are completely original!  Below is an invitation that we designed and just delivered to a customer.  He was very happy with the result, and so are we :)

Is it Baseball season already?

We've started to get some orders for baseball shirts, which means that spring training must be right around the corner!

So if you have a team or league that needs shirts, we're here to help!  No minimum orders!

Holiday Letterpress Home Stretch

Today was a busy day in the shop, with the final letterpress'ings of Holiday Cards.  We worked on two customers' orders and they dropped by a little early to take a look and even get in the pressing action.  Because our big press is still getting overhauled, we are on the little Chandler & Price Pilot that has become a bit of a workhorse of late.  Here are the results....

Half-Marathon Team Pics & Framed Prints

Oh how we love this time of year.  We're almost done with all of our Holiday Card printing and today a customer emailed us some pictures of their team after completing the Las Vegas Rock-N-Roll Half-Marathon.  We designed the logo for their tee, as well as printed them on performance shirts from American Apparel.  They were very happy with the results and congratulations to the entire team for completing the race!

On another bit of customer news, a recent bride sent us a framed picture of a custom print we did to commemorate their wedding in Washington DC.  See below:

Hope everyone stays safe and warm this Holiday Season!

Holiday Cards: Part Deux

We had one of our favorite customers Katie over for her round of Holiday Card printing.  Eschewing the traditional green and red she wanted more of a coral/green theme.  Here's some brief snaps of what we came up.

New clothing projects out of the shop....

The upcoming Las Vegas Marathon happens in less than a month and we came up with a team t-shirt for some folks competing:

We also added some ideas & options for our kiddos, with a baby hat and ode to our favorite show, "The Office."

Ashley & Jeff's Wedding Suite

We got pictures from the recent wedding of Ashley & Jeff that showcase some of the work we did for their event.  We came up with the following paper items to help...

A rainy day means holiday cards!

It is an absolutely rainy and gross day today.  As a result, we had our great friend Michelle come over to do her holiday cards.  We worked on a design for a fold-over card and here is the result!  It's a two-color letterpress card, green with red accents.  Printed on a pearl white Crane 100% Cotton 'paper', with matching envelope.

More Baby Onesies!

Here are the latest baby onesies from the shop!

A Creative Spin on Save-the-Dates

Today we came up with two designs for an upcoming bride for her "Save-the-Dates".  We don't know which one she prefers....but what do you think?  The colors are brown and purple, with a peacock theme running throughout.

Baby Shower Bonanza

Creating custom baby outfits is one of our favorite things.  We've been busy in the shop with a couple custom orders and here's a peek at the results.  We can recreate any of these items for new customers as well!

A Fall Promotion and Playing with Business Cards

For those who haven't seen the post on our Facebook site, we are headed to the UK next month for our belated Honeymoon.  As a result, we are in an extremely happy mood.  Because of that we are offering our customers 15% off their entire order when placed between now and November 5th.

So think of the possibilities!  Baby onesies for that expecting mom?  Family shirts for Christmas?  A customized hoody for a friend?  Letterpress invitations for the upcoming wedding or retirement?  Decals for the your car or truck with a clever message or graphic?  We can handle it all!

On another note, one of the things we started developing is a line of business cards.  The large Chandler & Price press is being reassembled, but we can still design & develop ideas.  Below are some business card design ideas for a friend of ours who is a musician.  It's a bit small because of the pictures constraints...Thoughts?

Baby Onesie's...the possibilities are endless....

One of our favorite things to do are baby clothes.  To be able to come up with something personal and meaningful for expecting couples just makes our day.  We have a couple pink onesies in work and we sent a prospective customer some mock-ups which we'd like to share with our loyal readers :)

So let us know what you think and for prospective customers we can do any of these designs for you on high-quality onesies made by Baby Jay.

New Numbered Tees

We had some leftover numbers and some classic American Apparel tees and decided it might be a good match.  Here's what we came up with!  I think they turned out pretty fun :)

Personalized Shirts for the whole (Stokes) Family

We have some friends of ours who are massive Twins Fans.  To help them in their supporting of their team's playoff chances (which unfortunately didn't turn out so well), we personalized some American Apparel Shirts.

Got Baseball?

Speaking of canvas...

We forgot to add a glimpse of what I gave my sister and her husband as a wedding present.  After searching for something unique and memorable, we just decided to create something in-house.  Here is the following (printed 16 x 20 on canvas).....

Personalized Canvas Art Prints

We've got some great items for retirements, promotions, and maybe even Christmas gifts.  Personalized art prints on canvas.  Below is our first foray into art prints.

To commemorate the completion of the 2010 Sea Trials USS Nevada, we worked with our favorite photographer Katie Chapman to come up with the below.  Based on customer input we also have personalized the prints for folks to celebrate their promotions to Chief Petty Officer.

So take a look at the below and let me know if you are interested.  10% discount to all active duty & retired members of the military.

Powder Puff Football!

One of services we offer at Skyhawk Press that most may not know about is custom apparel.  We love working with schools, teams, and other organizations to come up with creative and eye-catching designs.  It's that time of the year for football, and Powder Puff football!

Deep Run High School asked us to do their annual Powder Puff shirts and we are in progress.  We completed all of the numbering and tomorrow we will add the custom design on the front.

Baby Shower Invitations!

Another invite out of the shop! Our good friend Katie Chapman, whose photography fills our site, wanted to do her first letterpress project. We came up with a design together and she pressed the invites. Here is the result!

Ashley & Jeff's Wedding, Arlington VA.

We had an absolutely amazing time at Ashley & Jeff's wedding in Arlington, Virginia.  Ashley was absolutely stunning and her and Jeff are an amazing couple.  Here are some of the products that we brought with us to the event:

For the table names they chose famous DC landmarks with a picture of them imposed:

For the program, we created a bi-fold on cotton with a burgundy and gold theme.  We tied in some of the design elements from their custom wedding invitations as well:

Here's the new stuff!

Our customers have their products and now we can show you what it all looks like.

Here are some pictures:
