If you’ve never checked out Skreened.com, then you’re blowing it. It’s a site where you can make one-off, high-quality custom T-shirts that are pretty much only limited by your creative capacity.

The Columbus, Ohio-based company uses a new technology to print soft, durable, full color prints directly onto garments. “It’s an efficient CMYK printing process that allows us to print as few as 1 item cost effectively. In addition to our technology, we only print onto garments that have been manufactured in verified work conditions that do not exploit workers. Our ethical and stylish lineup of apparel comes from our friends at American Apparel  in Los Angeles,” according to the site.

So whether you’re like me and needed to make an extremely inappropriate tee for 80s Heat this Thursday night, or you just need a little creative outlet—skreened.com will get you into a custom design of your own on a dope American Apparel blank for under $25 (including shipping!).

So go check it out, send us photos of your creations, and we’ll post them on the site.

Check out this one. That’s my hound dog, Virgil.

Remember when getting a Slurpee from 7-11 was fun?

…Classic.

A friend will go surfing without you, tell you about it, and exaggerate how good it was. A good friend will invite you to go along, or at least shoot you straight if you couldn’t make it. A great friend—Like my great friend Zack, who just so happens to work for a major airline—will call you on a Thursday afternoon to see if you want to fly to Kauai on Friday with a “buddy pass” because there’s a huge swell on the way!
