Workhouse Shirts backstory..
how do you know me?
Hello! My name is Mark Work. Maybe you've seen me on keys with Madison Avenue Band playing around Toledo. Most of us have been rocking out since our first garage band back in the 70's and I've printed t-shirts for all of our projects. Speaking of the 70's... maybe I sold you a bootleg t-shirt at the old Sports Arena! I suppose you might know me from my day-job where I develop data warehouse analytic models for a large integrated healthcare delivery system with headquarters downtown near what I still call 'Portside'. Or maybe I just look like that guy you know...
What's up with My new gig?
I'm an old school screen printer - and this is my hobby. I enjoy creating print designs using Adobe Illustrator and/or Photoshop. I'm doing halftone screen positives and color separations on my desktop computer. This has led me to invest in some pro-level gear such as an exposure unit, washout booth, a multi-color printing press plus dozens of miscellaneous supplies. What started as a small scale setup to print a few band t shirts has led me to the next level where I can take on some additional projects. I would love it if my printing side-hustle could support itself financially and keep me in ink!
