Screens

As I work on the next post check out this photo of all our new screens.

I Am The Trend TV

A few days ago we were mentioned on I Am The Trend TV. It's great to see people express their love and excitement for our product rather than just reading a blog post about it. See their excitement in the video below. They mention us around 00:09:00.

La Carmina Post

Also over at La Carmina's blog there was a great little feature about our new collaboration. In the next few weeks I will be adding photos of her in the shirts and describing the reasons we came up with what we came up with. More to come.

I Am The Trend Review

Thanks to I Am The Trend for this great post. They've been big supporters of our brand since we came on the scene 2 years ago. If you're interested in knowing what's happening in the current tshirt community check out their website. They have interesting video updates and interviews with the hottest indie tshirt brands out right now.

New Collection Up

So the NEW 2010 collection went live at 10am (eastern time?). So far the response has been great! You guys really make all this worth it.

So far we have two great blogs that mentioned the new line. Which I'll post about soon.

Bare with me as there's still a few things I need to tweak, some pages might be missing pictures or headers, but all that will be fixed soon. If you see something let me know and I'll fix it right up. I was up till 4am last night photoshopping and preparing just under 60 individual items to either be released or updated. It was a huge undertaking for our small company.

We've also added a 'Hoodie' section to make the main page less confusing.

Also all the new items can be found in our 'packages' so spoil yourself and save some money at the same time ;)

Ok more posts describing the individual designs, and more photos will fill up the blog in the upcoming week. So have fun browsing and buying the new stuff, if you have any questions you can find me here.

Thought it was Thursday

I thought we were Thursday today so I was preparing to release everything tomorrow...then I realized today is Wednesday...lame... We all have to wait! It's going to be totally worth it though I promise you that. And all items will be available to purchase in our 'Package' deals so get all the new stuff you want and save too! I hope to hear all your reactions on our Facebook page or here ok? Let me know what you think of our new stuff as your opinions are much appreciated. Ok, I gotta go back to work for now and print some shirts.

Btw, someone broke into my car again :( Didn't smash the window this time thankfully, but everything was removed from the glove compartment like they were looking for something. Probably a GPS, that I don't own :( Oh well when you live in a sketchy part of town I guess that's what you get, hopefully if this year is good to us we can move out of here and somewhere nicer where we don't get robbed twice in a month!

2010 Akumu Ink Logo

In case you haven't noticed there will also be a NEW Akumu Ink logo that will be launched alongside the 6 new designs starting this Friday. This white logo will replace the previous one that was printed at the bottom of our tshirts and vnecks. The hoodies will continue to have the silver razorblade. We wanted to have something bolder and more original, so we came up with this. Hope you like it!

Homemade Mocha Frappe

As most of us start off the day with a delicious coffee (reminds me of the Mindless Self Indulgence lyrics "I like my coffee black just like my metal"). Sometimes I feel like experimenting with flavours. I had some Cool Whip in the fridge and some Hot Chocolate powder so I decided to treat myself to a Cafe Mocha Frappe? I don't regret it :P

Tracklist Revealed

As many of you have been excited to see where we are taking the brand in this new year. I've compiled our current finalized tracklist (in random order) for our newest collection releasing January 15, 2010. Featuring 2 guest spots by fellow Canadian and lover of all things Japanese as well, La Carmina. Hopefully these shirt titles will inspire you and make you look forward to their release:

1- Death Before Dishonor
2- The Investigation
3- Lost Soul
4- Devil Within
5- (Currently Untitled) feat. La Carmina
6- (Currently Untitled 2) feat. La Carmina

Colourful Closeups

Just thought I'd post a bunch of pics I took of some of our newer colors. All these images and more can be found on each item's product page.

Snow Removal

Thought those of you who don't have much snow where you're from would be interested in seeing this. A day or three after a huge snow storm the city sends trucks to clean one side of the street because there's literally too much snow that we can't park on the streets anymore. Also as it gets colder the snow hardens making it more difficult to park where there is snow. So first they send a sidewalk plough to push whatever's on the sidewalk into the street, then this plough passes scooping everything into the middle of the street. After this I got bored and couldn't be bothered to stay and photograph the industrial snowblower that picks up everything and blows it into a dumptruck. Oh and the orange sign on the street sign is put up 24 hours prior to snow removal to let us know that between such and such times not to park there or they will tow your car to another street and fine you. Yay, winter....
