Arsenal Handicraft Pond Hockey Print

Arsenal Handicraft just released a new pond hockey themed screen print. Christina (who has won our Fantasy Football League 3 years straight) and Dennis (who both run AH) both play hockey and they’ve wanted to do a hockey themed print for a while. Growing up near a pond meant playing hours of shinny hockey with your buddies. Back then, they spent more time in skates than shoes, and didn't have a care in the world.

Check out the video of making the print.

Arsenal Handicraft Grandpa's Lures & Grandpa's Bobbers Prints

Spring is trying real hard to break us free from the grips of another crazy winter and in no time people will out there fishing. Arsenal Handicraft figured this was a good time to release two prints called "Grandpa's Lures" and "Grandpa's Bobbers".  Perfect to add a little something special to that cabin.

Dennis of Arsenal Handicraft was inspired by the contents of his Grandfather's tackle box, who sadly passed away before Dennis was born. He sorted, photographed, and then illustrated each lure for these prints. Dennis fell in love with how some of them were hand made by him and how they show wear from years of use.

Each print measures 11" x 14", is a four color hand pulled screen print, and is available for $25.00 each or $45.00 for the set.

Arsenal Handicraft The Last Days of Summer Print for Artcrank Detroit

This past weekend Artcrank came to Detroit for the first time at the Shinola headquarters and Arsenal Handicraft created a stunning print for the show. The print is called "The Last Days of Summer"  It is a three color screen print on French Banana Split Paper.  It measures 16" x 20", has an edition of 30, and is priced at $50.

The back story to the print is:

When we were younger, a bike symbolized freedom. Especially in Michigan, bike time meant summertime, no school, and late nights. By its very nature, riding a bike is something you must do alone and it’s part of finding your independence.

This boy’s feet took him once again to a familiar window. But the days were getting shorter now. I think she was waiting for him this time, leaning a little further out of her window. School would be starting soon.

The print is available in the Arsenal Handicraft shop here: http://arsenalhandicraft.com/products
