These new shirts are hand-printed by J-Bird, using the lino block printing process. Traditionally, BirdSwell has screen printed J-Bird’s artwork onto apparel. Recently, she have fallen in love with the lino block printing process and the aesthetic it creates.
“I love carving into the lino block and seeing the image appear. In a weird way, carving into the block is very therapeutic. I also love the texture, aesthetic and imperfections lino block printing creates.”
Click on the following designs to see the other color options. All of these shirts are made on demand, 100% made in the USA, and each one is unique.

I am taking a little break from playing but you should still go and cheer my teams on! I designed the poster for this month so I had to post this ridiculousness. Yep, Fevah and I are on a golf cart and there was a Fez hat involved that I had to Photoshop out unfort. I thought about putting some nachos (feminachos of course) in the background, but that would have just made it completely out of control… but it is my screen saver right now.

The Massacre will be meeting Steel City’s all-star teams for the first time in WFTDA history in March. Steel is coming off a strong showing at the Eastern Regional tournament, where they defeated Carolina to finish 5th behind Boston. Keep your eyes on Hurricane Heather and Snot Rocket Science, two jammers who shocked fans with their top-scoring jams. Hurricane Heather broke the WFTDA record for most points scored in a single jam when she put up 36 points against Dutchland (the record was later broken at the Western Regional Tournament).

Surf Movie Night is back… for those of you that have been with us since the old days, you know we used to show surf movies in our old art studio in Rockport. These nights were amazing community gatherings where we all got to enjoy a couple beers in each others company and take in great films on the 10ft movie screen. Once we moved our studio/gallery (the Hive) to Main St. in Gloucester we lost the space for hosting these nights.…
Now that we have the gym space and the movie screen, we can fire up the projector. So next Friday December 10th we will be having the first CFCA/HIVE surf movie night. Here’s the deal… we open the doors at 8pm. It’s kind of potluck style (snacks) and bring what you want to drink. We have the fridge so no need to bring ice. Usually we have social hour and then end up playing the movie around 9:30pm. I think will end up showing 180 Degrees South. Come join us and bring friends… it’s a great time and a great way to get to know each other in another setting.
Friday December 10th @ 8pm. @ CrossFit Cape Ann 7 Parker St. Gloucester Ma
Part dreamworld, part memories, part wishes, part love letters. These pieces are inspired by real events: sunshine, ocean waves, a sunny perch, a long road traveled, backyard discoveries, stoked folk and the flatspells in between.
All works are a combination of acrylic pigment transfer, acrylic paint and watercolor mixed with original digital and analog images.
