Thriving Ink is an indie t-shirt label where art is the focus and everything is printed and sewn in-house in the Bay Area, California. The owner, Matt is 20 years old and does everything for Thriving Ink from printing & shipping, to sewing, to marketing & blogging.

This is a grassroots-grown indie label that has just released a fresh new line for the summer time including new tees and tanks starting at $19.95. Thriving Ink also produces new tees and tanks every week in order to keep the line fresh.

We feature our artists via the Independent Artist Movement. Thriving Ink’s Independent Artist Movement is a platform where artists are placed at the forefront, are heavily promoted, and praised for their work. All other Thriving Ink t-shirts are known as TI originals, including logo works and branded t-shirts, tanks and sweatshirts.

Thriving Ink also sells $15 grab bags that come with 3 t-shirts in your size from last season’s line.

Here are some pics from the Thriving Ink & Co. grand opening:

“After the election, in which we the people elected Barack Obama as President of the United States, we thought that no one would want to wear an Obama tee anymore. Well, we were wrong. Dead wrong.”

We are so proud that our friends who weren’t able to get their hands on an Obama tee the first and second time, will now have the chance to.

-Thriving Ink

Due to popular demand, Thriving Ink is re-releasing “Captain Obama” from AJ Dimarucot’s “Hope is Dope” line for Thriving Ink. The t-shirts will be printed on a white American Apparel tee as well as an American Apparel Athletic Grey Tri-blend option (the softest tee ever!). As in the past, part of the proceeds will go to a charity dear to AJ’s heart.

Thriving Ink is also proud to announce that their very own Matt Dronkers has also designed an Obama tee that you will like. This new tee draws inspiration from Obama’s speech when he said, “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” So, if you share this sentiment, this is the tee for you. It will be printed on both a white and black American Apparel tee.

The “Hope is Dope” collection is in true spirit to Thriving Inks’ credo, “Be a Human Canvas, Wear What You Feel.” Through global artist alliances, Thriving Ink transforms the canvas into wearable art as a platform for their 10+ artists to connect with their audience, and build more exposure for their work.

All styles are available in Men’s and Womens, and some in multiple colorways. Visit thrivingink.com for the full collection. Here are some samples:

Row 1 (Left): Chris Tamburello is from “The Real World: Paris” and the last six seasons of “The Real World/Road Rules Challenges”. He is shown here wearing “Heraldic Eagle” by Andhika Rasyid, to the MTV Real World Awards Bash.

Row 1 (Right): Colby O’Donis is a R&B singer known for his recent hit “What you Got” featuring Akon. He wore “Penguin” by Herman Lee, and “Harbinger” by Newel Anderson, to a photo shoot for his album cover art.

Row 2 (Left): Black Thomas is an actor/dancer famous for his role in “Step Up” as well as many music videos of major artists such as T-Pain, Beyonce, Mario, and the Pussycat Dolls.

Row 2 (Right): Vincent Martella is a star mainly on the Disney Channel. He stars in a show called “Everybody Hates Chris” with Ashley Tisdale. He is also a singer, and this photo shows him wearing “Mix Tape” by AJ Dimarucot, while performing at The Grove in Los Angeles.

Currently, “TI” works with 10 artists at once, rotating new artists in every couple months, and retiring artists accordingly. Each designer is different in style, technique, and medium usage, and therefore Thriving Ink is able to provide a vast variety of styles for people to choose from. Because of this, their apparel is able to cater to a very wide audience.

Artists that work with Thriving Ink are given full reign in the work they do. They are not given any limits, and are free to express themselves through what they truly love. In fact, many of the line’s artists have already contracted additional work as a result of their involvement with the brand.
