The Design Bureau of Amerika has officially launched it’s screen printing studio, Amerikan Made Prints™ and it’s first major project: The Ink Initiative. This project has been in development for about 6 months and is something that is very important to me. The concept is very simple, we will screen print posters to sell online and then donate the proceeds to a selected non-profit organization.

This is a project that I am very passionate about and for that reason, I am going to take a small break from other Bureau projects to concentrate all my focus on getting The Ink Initiative to where I feel it can go. I have some new Bureau resources, such as brushes and color swatches that I plan to upload here and I still will be updating and posting on this site but for the immediate future, those projects will be put on hold for a little while.

I hope you all will continue to visit here and support The Bureau and I hope that you will check out The Ink Initiative project. Please take a moment and pass the word on your social and professional networks about this project and help it gain some momentum.

Thanks!

My good friend Mel has been running an awesome blog project called Operation Nice, so as The Bureau is getting ready to launch it’s Ink Initiative™ project, I wanted to do something to contribute to Operation Nice. We screen printed a limit run of these posters and will be donating 10 of them to Operation Nice to be used as giveaways. The remaining posters will be sold on the Ink Initiative site for charity. read more
