I love it when UGP employees do cool things outside of Underground Printing (and inside Underground Printing). I found out today that one of our graphic designers, Ryan W. who is a very talented artist, won the “How Sweet the Sound” Community Art competition and had his art selected to represent the city of Detroit!

Earlier this year we posted a story about Jason. He had the inspired notion in 2009 to sell himself for money [hey, it's a recession!] His site www.iwearyourshirt.com started with the idea that he would sell “ad space” on himself, in the form of advertisers’ t-shirts. He would wear a new shirt every day in [...]

Posted by Underground Ryland in Random
People love t-shirts. This is a tenet upon which Underground Printing was built. People also love free t-shirts. This a tenet upon which many a marketing scheme was built. People love being shot at. This is…well, not true. Still, somewhere along the line, from the primordial potato-gun ooze emerged the t-shirt gun. And it was [...]
The UGP Blog changes names…again
Published in July 2nd, 2009
Every so often Underground Ryland and I get antsy ants-ni about the name of the Blog. With so many good names out there, when we think of one we don’t want to just let it go. While brainstorming stupid twitter names, Rylo came up with “House of Tee’s” and I added “UGP”. Hence: UGP’S HOUSE [...]

Underground Printing’s Ann Arbor location (located at 1103 South University) joined up with Ulrich’s Bookstore (also our neighbor) and Domino’s Pizza (also an Ann Arbor original) for some good, clean, t-shirt fun during Welcome Week at the University of Michigan.

The state capitals. As children, we memorize them to some peculiar tune in order to pass our U.S. Geography quiz. As adults, we praise and lament them as the source of all that is great and woeful in our state governments. For the body politic of Michigan, it’s also one more place to R-O-C-K. ( [...]
