In a way the idea of printmaking is to get more of the same, but we were curious about working on the basis of happy accidents!
So we started the project: Unique Fellows!
We dig into the piles of proofs, select a few favorites and some of them inspire us to new experiments. Every single one is photographed and presented separately and gets its own number.
You find them in our jollygoodshop, some of them are already sold but be patient, more is coming.
This spring we have decided to open up the studio some more, we call it Jolly Good Lördag. For us it’s a chance to let our local friends and customers come and see some more of what we do and how screen printing works, buy something from us without shipping cost, or just drink coffee with us : ) Here is some pictures from the first #jollygoodlördag which had the theme “skate”.

The right is sometimes called the right of public access to the wilderness or the right to roam. (Wikipedia) This print is our celebration to and reminder of Allemansrätten!
Manos in Stockholm started to sell our handprinted baby cloths many years ago. We love their mix of design and craft, actually they were our first reseller ever which makes them extra special. This spring we had the opportunity to hold an exhibition at manos and meet a lot of old and new friends.
Most of the time we use black paint in the printshop but it is something special with colour as well.
It’s really exciting when we stand there with the primary colors: cyan, magenta, yellow, white and black and try to concretize the idea of a colour we have in mind.
Here is the new colours, GREEN, BROWN and VIOLET
