6.25.10 - Athfest 2010
Well it's our 4th year working with Athens' biggest music festival, Athfest. Once again, with the help of Philip Goodwin over at VIII EAST, we've successfully organized, designed and printed a whole line of beautiful original merchandise for the whole festival. And to keep things looking consistent, Satisfactory was also charged with designing and printing all garments worn by the Athfest Staff. Below you'll see most of what was printed for the festival. If you're out this weekend, you can stop by the Athest merch booth and check it out first hand, as well as the women's sleeveless V-necks and children's clothing...cute stuff. As always, we used specialty printing techniques like discharge printing and plasticharge printing whenever possible. More soon Nick Canada

6.11.10 - MGMT Special Edition T-shirt
It's been a little while since our last update but we've been real busy. From expanding our facility to accomodate new equipment, to printing for new clients like MGMT and even designing our own clothing line. We've been moving and shaking and making everyone look good in the process. We've just taken on printing specialty deisngs for MGMT who are touring all summer long. As you can see below, Satisfactory was tasked with printing a limited run of shirts for the band's show at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. A mix of waterbased inks and standard plastisol was used to achieve a high quality super soft print. We've also been trying our hand at printing with solar reactive inks. The White Tiger Gourmet is a great little gem of restaurant here in Athens GA, with an emphasis on great food and eccentric style. A real favorite with locals, The White Tiger was the perfect client for our first test run of solar reactive ink printing. These stylish V-necks have been flying out the door ever since we printed up a batch a few weeks ago. If you're in town, stop by, get a bite to eat and grab a fresh V on your way out.

3.10.10 - Drive-by Truckers Pre-Sale T
The new Drive-by Truckers album "The Big To-Do" will be released on March 16th. As a treat to fans they have been pre-selling a special on-line only T-shirt as part of a deluxe package with the album. We just finished printing a whole a mountain of these as you can see below. If you are so inclined you should go buy one here. These shirts were printed with a super soft plasticharge technique, giving the print almost no feel at all on this beautiful Amercian Apparel garment. Look for the Truckers on the road for most of this year, where you'll find a whole lot more merch created and printed by Satisfactory, using the art of Wes Freed and printed using either plasticharge or discharge printing techniques. More soon, Nick Canada

2.19.10 - Vic Chesnutt Shows
We are very honored to have been asked to design a poster for the Vic Chesnutt memorial shows happening at the 40 Watt Club this weekend. The background illustration was done by Sam Seawright and beautiful RUSH screen printing was done by the wonderful people over at Bearded Lady in Austin Texas. Vic was one of those poeple you only needed to meet once to remember him forever. I'll cherish the handfull of great conversations we had for the rest of my life. If you're in Athens this weekend come to the 40 Watt Club (Friday February 19th & Saturday February 20th) for a celebration of Vic's life and music. Jack Logan, Patterson Hood, Elf Power, Ham1 and many many others will be giving what are sure to be beautiful performances. Both the show poster and T-shirts created by Satisfactory will be available for purchase. Bewildered, Nick Canada

11.05.09 - Beauty Everyday!
Well it's been a little while between updates and it's mainly because we've been working so many great things. From a complete merchandise tour package for That One Guy, to a new line of merch for The GA music Hall of Fame, and even some new stuff for REM. We also printed a new shirt for the amazing people at Mailchimp.com, it may be the best thing we've ever printed. Check out our DESIGN section to see what i'm taking about. All I'm saying is it involves a wolf, a chimp, and some full moon howling. We also have some new stuff in there for the ladies of UGA Alpha Chi, Iron and Wine, UGA BCM, and the hilarious Ronnie Jordan. Oh and peace to Kristen Bach of the blog Beautyeveryday.com, fo spreadin' the love. Nick Canada

6.29.09 - Summertime Fashions
Athfest, Athens GA's annual music and arts festival, has come and gone. This was the third year we designed and printed all the merchandise for the festival. And I have to say it was some of the best looking merch we've made for the festival to date. Pictures coming soon to our design section. In other news, we recently designed and printed some great stuff for PT's Coffee, the National 2009 coffee roaster of the year. We are also excited to be taking over merch duties for That One Guy. We're working on a whole new merch line for his upcoming end of summer/fall tour. Peace to all the robots our there. Nick Canada

5.08.09 - Spring is here...it's mother's day!
We've been working hard and hopefully it shows. New clients have been filing through our doors. From the girls at Alpha Chi Omega, to Kaldi's coffee, to the SCAA EVENT in Atlanta. We've been Designing and Printing beautiful merchandise for all of them. The SCAA Event was a blast. We went down to Atlanta to stock up the merch store and met people from all over the world, and of course drank way to much coffee. Check out our DESIGN section to see what we've been printing for our clients including the SCAA. Oh...and in classic Athens Ga fashion, we also found time to do some Gardening at Night down here at the SatisFACTORY...thanks mom! Happy mother's day XXX Nick Canada

3.13.09 - IRON&WINE and other good news
So we've been getting into a lot of great stuff as of late. First off we just printed some new limited edition shirts for Iron and Wine. You can purchase them HERE. The design came courtesy of the fine designers over at Methane Studios in ATL. We made this print happen using a technique called Discharge Printing, which basically takes the dye color out of the garment and replaces it with whatever dye color you choose. The result is a high quality super soft print. In fact it doens't feel like it's printed at all. Check these out, they're bound to sell out quick. In other news, we're happy to be supplying merch to our new faves Blitzen Trapper. Their show at the 40Watt ruled! I think they're gonna be rockin' over at SXSW next week. Go see them if you can. We've put up some new images in our design section. Hope you like what you see. Thanks, Nick Canada

2.28.09 - SATISFACTORY New Website Up!
