Local Ink... it's "Art on Cotton!"

I had the opportunity recently to reconnect with my old acquaintance Mark Ohlson, who started up a local business in Portland called "Local Ink." They partner up with talented local artists to actually put the art onto high quality garments... shirts, hats, etc, and they sell the products through their website www.local-ink.com.

Mark called me because Local Ink was going to be participating in the 2009 WMPG Fashion Show, and they wanted to capture their presence there on video. We interviewed the models, Mark himself, members of the audience, and captured a whole bunch of fun, colorful footage which captured the fast-paced, trendy, and FUN vibe of the event, which took place at SPACE Gallery on Congress Street.

The final piece is a :60 promotional piece designed for the web, with the goal of creating some additional buzz for these guys! They've gotten some great press lately, and being able to show their company in action-- in their element-- was a really special thing.

Click here to check out the video on their website, and then drop Mark a note at mohlson@local-ink.com to learn more about their company. Oh yeah, and check out their products too... Cool stuff! I can't wait to work with Mark and Local Ink again.
