Introducing Dr Jack and AppleBum ScreenWorks
Ok well this is my first entry into my new blog. First I'm Dr Jack. I'M a DJ by trade, but I have also branched into other areas such as; High Definition Film and Photos. I also DO special effects with Vegas Video and After Effects. O and of course I have a T Shirt shop.
I have a few areas I am going to cover with this blog. Some of my goals are to Teach you guys how to "Screen Print" using minimal equipment I have purchased from Ryonet or www.silkscreeningsupplies.com.
As we go through this year you will learn the basics of printing with Plastisol and eventually Waterbased inks. I will also be showing you how to build your business properly so that you don't get burnt out. I want to also show you how to grow your business so that you can eventually replace your current job so that you can enjoy screen printing full time and perhaps even open your own shop. As I explore this new world I have thrust myself into I will be making plenty of mistakes. I will be showing you my mistakes and what to do about them. I know that the hardest part of a business is knowing how to deal with mistakes. Its one thing to know how to do it the correct way but there is no business in the world that runs smooth all the time. I will showing you how to operate your equipment, Clean up after a job, how to order shirts and supplies, and I will be doing segments on some of the newest equipment that Ryonet has to offer. I will be proving links to products and terms that I use so that you can easily find the information you need when you need it. I will be answering questions on my videos and sending out Tshirts to Fans of my blog. SO make sure you add my blog to your favorites and tell your friends how to find me.
Ok for the structure of this experiment, You will be asked to make video responses in order to win Dr Jack shirts or even some supplies. My goal is to make this fun so remember to have fun in whatever you do and rock out when ever you can. I might be in your neck of the woods soon, hence the name Mobile TShirt Adventures. Thats right I will be getting ready for a tour of America soon and I want to see your shop or Basement Tshirt Operation. I might just stop to say hello. SO keep track of me and how you can meet me. I'm going to leave sometime in February after I build up a fan base and I'm going to have some fun on the way. Some of the places I want to go see would be Ski Areas (I'm a snowborder) and in the summer Ill be hitting skateparks and Clubs all around the US. If you have a place we need to see then let me know and I might put it on the travel map. SO in Conclusion. I'm Dr Jack and my partner in crime is AppleBum. She is a good sport for going along with this so heads up when come around cause its gonna get crazy if I have anything to do with it. If you have a resort or business you would like to invite Mobile T Shirt Adventures to email me at mobiletshirtadventures@yahoo.com. I want to thank Ryan and the crew down at Ryonet for giving me this chance to show America how easy it really is to screen print for your baseball team, band or even start your own full time business. Thanks dude. I will be bloggin at least 2 times per week and I will shoot out a video at least once per week. I get bored easily so I'M sure their will be more. So get ready for some fun times because Dr Jack is all about it! Later
