Thanks to everyone who’s ordered from us so far this month, although they most likely haven’t been aware, we’re donating 5% of the revenue from all print commissions ordered and printed in November, and all sales in the shop and online, to testicular and prostate cancer charities. That includes the costs of the garments we buy in for each commission so I’ll most definitely be regretting this impulse decision next month.
Thanks to our intern Fabe, we finally have some artwork to go with the offer. The man draws an excellent set of testicles.

Today I had my phone stolen from the shop/studio…
… but then had an idea.
This month, thanks to the combination of seeing the co-founder of the movement on the breakfast news this morning, and the open invitation by STAG barbers in the Custard Factory, and the diagnosis last month of someone very close to home, I will be shaving my beard, which I’ve had for 8 years, and then growing a tash for Movember.
But that probably won’t help anyone or anything, as I’m notoriously bad at fundraising myself, so this month we will also be donating a percentage of every print job we are commissioned to do and a percentage of everything we sell online and in the shop to the cause.
I’ve also sent Fabe, our intern and founder of Dubbz Apparel, away to design a new Movember tee for the shop with all profits being donated to the cause.
Details in a much more aesthetically pleasing format will follow!
NB: I no longer have a phone so if you need to call GAG use the Eco Merch number 0121 773 3354

Our favourite shop No Guts No Glory down in Exeter is turning 3 this weekend!
We’ve been printing for NGNG from the start and its been particularly pleasing to see NGNG and GAG grow together over the years.
Nath, founder of NGNG, went for organic shirts and sweats from us a few years back. It was a tough decision to make for a small shop, low on cash and high on overheads. With only our assurances that the finished articles are way nicer and some people do give a shit, he went for it, and hasn’t looked back.
So because it was NGNG, we cut out the mesh of the black layer of the ever popular Jack Teagle’s ‘Snakeman’ prints so this Saturday you can win our screen, Jack’s awesome Snakeman Toy and one of the NGNG tees printed with that very screen. We reclaim the screens after every print, except for this one. A bit of screenprinting history up for grabs for the price of a raffle ticket!
Head down to the No Guts No Glory Birthday Party at McCoys Arcade in Exeter this Saturday from 10-5pm and take part in NGNG’s super prize draw!
