Picnic at FORMEX
This time we exhibited together with scandinaviaform at Formex. It was a very good choice since we could enjoy a little meadow, which felt so nice together with the prints.
Jackson Pollock Jr
Jackson Pollock Jr – a white t-shirt that can stand as much spill as you like.
Ten years ago, when we had our first kid, we started to think about a ”spill-friendly” t-shirt. We tried different patterns to camouflage the spill. But now we finally have the concept! What before was a problem is now a piece of art in the spirit of Jackson Pollock.
We print by hand with water-based colour in our garage printshop using really nice t-shirts from Neutral (Denmark) that are certified okay – GOTS, Fairtrade, EU Ecolabel, etc.
Item No: 5-36-TEE

Jolly Good Lördag – May
Sunshine, books, vases, airplants, natural dyed textiles and a lot of prints! It was a very nice #jollygoodlördag and here are some pictures for you that live too far away to come by in person ; )
We served the kids with a lots of cork cubes to build and play with.
The print we call Allemansrätten on the wall. Yes we´re open!
Aeroteket brought a lot of nice airplants and ceramic bowls that are a perfect match with our Concrete Bowl #1 :-).
Scandinaviaform‘s vases look great even without flowers in them!
Slightly imperfect cork cubes from our Urban Cube Calendar are recycled as toys.
Premiere for our natural dyed textile on wall.
A rack full of Unique fellows!
Action in the playground in front of the house.
After work – play!
Unique Fellows
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.
Jolly Good Lördag – Premier!
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”.
What is a screenprint?
Most of our products are screenprinted by hand, but maybe you wonder how it works…..
A screen print (or silk-screen) is a print where the ink is forced through a mesh (screen) using a rubber squeegee. Jollygoodfellow usually start with one or more photographs which is adjusted and rasterized in the computer. Sometimes with some added hand-drawing. The image is transferred to a transparent film and exposed on a screen which is prepared with photo emulsion. And when the screen is rinsed and dry it’s time to start printing in the jollygoodfellow garage printshop!

Birds Formation
A formation of birds. A lot of birds fly over our home,
it’s something that we are very happy about and we managed to capture a few of them.
Birds and the big print, The hills are alive with the sound of skateboards, on the wall.
Batterie
We have thought about printing drums for a long time. In the beginning the idea was to make a print of a drum kit set up ready to play. And we were looking for a drummer with the right attitude and the perfect drums. But after a while we just took our own drums and started to try out. For us the best way was to put them in a pile and we were really exited!
After some calls we got access to a rehearsal hall with a huge collection of vintage drums. We looked and picked drums from the shelves like kids in a toy store. But then we fell in love with this little kit standing by the entrance.
A tower of vintage drums in a variety of brands (which you can see on the drum lugs if you are a drum nerd like us).
