I WAS HERE BEFORE THE HASTAGS (TM)

Ideas and sayings pop in my head constantly.  Some make sense.  Some I write down, some I toss, some I think about.  

This saying came to my mind earlier this year.  And since I’m now screen printing, I was like - cool, this will make a great campaign.  So I started with a t-shirt!  I even hand sewed in the ME & Blue label... oooh.  

As a Generation Xer, technology has changed my life.  I can talk about my old school rotary phone and trying do graphic design in the 80’s without a computer.  But I can also talk about how I’ve worked to keep up with technology.  Technology and hashtags aren’t going away, but how we live with them can be managed by us.  I chat with Millennials to GenXers to Boomers and they all seem to chuckle at this trademarked saying. 

I screen print these myself in a group studio in East London.  It's a fun environment for me as I learn something new every time I go there.  The process of screen printing is manual, but I use lots of technology to get to prepare the image before I get to work.
