Hello fellow t shirt makers, or whoever you are. I am Matthew Grant Hoeksema, professional t shirt maker. I began working at Sparrow Graphics early in 05, primarly doing printing for Cessna, American Aviator, Flying Magazine, Oshkosh Flying Show, and a few other clients. Sporty's Magazine has some of our unique designs, and the rest are more common, and can be found at the main Sparrow site(Cessna t Shirts). We have 2-8 color presses, a 20ft dryer unit, and the other basic things found at a print shop.
Ever since high school I've had a passion for making t shirts. The old crew used to be Andy Johnson, Troy Ryan Longton aka Impunity, Kevin Cook aka Mithrandir, and I, Matt Hoeksema aka ManaKill. The crew broke up after high school due to the usual 9 to 5 crap. Troy passed away from an OD which was very unexpected. Now as far as the 'shirt crew', it is just me.. well, I guess I can count my biz partners and my lovely wife, who supports me 100%.
You can expect to hear me rant about things in the printing industry that piss me off. Including some golden tips that you may be able to use in your printshop. Granted you may not be making Cessna t shirts, but you start small and one day, who knows!
