Yay and Ack!

Hey hey hey,

We have some good news and some not so good news.

We have a new Inaugural design. It's pretty cool. This is also our design of the week. I love it because it has stripes and I love stripes and its Red and White, somewhat patriotic and yet still punk baby.

Melanie loves this because its just adorable and she loves how the black skull pops on this particular print, and Thank goodness it was purchased by a lil doll face girl who LOVES our 44TH President Barack Obama.



O.K. and now for the not so good news. It has come to our attention that the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act(CPSIA) will shut down small business and local artisan who make clothing and toys for children under 12 years of age.

The CPSIA has new requirements of Manufacturers, importers and retailers. We are expected to comply with the new Congressionally-mandated laws. Beginning February 10, 2009, children’s products cannot be sold if they contain more than 600 parts per million (ppm) total lead. Certain children’s products manufactured on or after February 10, 2009 cannot be sold if they contain more than 0.1% of certain specific phthalates or if they fail to meet new mandatory standards for toys.


You can find more information at http://coolmompicks.com/savehandmade/

How you can help us and other small business: As much as we want our children to be safe and welcome such guidelines we feel the CPSIA has come down too hard which will force small companies and mom and pop shops and artist around the world to be put out of business. Even some larger chain and commercial companies said they might not be able to compete with the new requirements.

GET INVOLVED- WRITE - CALL

Your congress person and senators and write a letter like the sample here.
Particularly if they serve on the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection or the House Committee on Small Business.

-Send an email directly to the CPSC or contact chairperson Nancy Nord at 301-504-7923

NEW DAY , NEW BEGINNINGS

Hello , hello beautiful people!

Sorry we lapsed we are on the road to recovery and were just GLUED to our TELEVISION watching the 44th Presidential Inauguration. IT WAS AMAZING and breathtaking and just an overwhelming day! It has inspired us to get moving and get creative. We are not so sure about the RED, WHITE and BLUE but we just might have to make a shirt that is Presidential inspired.

We will be posting some new designs this week. Again, sorry for the lag we have been doing behind the scene stuff.

BUSY BUSY BUSY

Hello ...

Sorry, this blog is a little late. We are super busy putting together orders. Some lucky kids in Brazil will be super surprised when they get their SkullAsstic Ink Clothing.

We know not everyone is in to ROCK and ROLL Baby Clothes so we do have alternative designs that are still Super RAD ! We have a very cool Sparrow on a tree branch (pictures soon). We also have a very cool and Chic Peace and Love design.
This design is timeless and though the design is the same on all our items the way we paint and embellish it truly makes each shirt ONE OF A KIND.

If your a Rock and Roll type or a Peace and Love type we have have what you want, please also keep in mind that www.SkullAsstic.com can make custom designs. If you have something in mind or a color combination we will do our best to create something for you !

ROCK and ROLL Baby Clothes- Design of the week

We have our Water Back !!!!! Thank goodness we are back in production.

First we want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of our groupies from all of us at SkullAsstic Ink we would like to wish Jody a Smashing Birthday and many more !

O.K. So the moment you have all been waiting for our designs of the week. This weeks pick was tougher than usual, we think its due to our constant creative bug and striving to do better, do cooler, and make it ROCK!

Melanie loves this shirt because she is the original creator/designer of it but she also likes it because it's a fun design with bold stripes and rad colors.

Jay loves this design because it can suits a Rock and Roll Baby look or Pirate shirt look your child might want but yet it's a Polo and we love little boys in polos.

The Red Stripe Pirate Shirt is a Polo with Bold orange and brown stripes and features a white distressed vintage SkullAsstic Ink Skull and Cross bones.
This design is available in a 2T only as it is one of a kind.


So, if you are looking for some hot Rock and Roll Baby Clothes or know someone who is let them know SkullAsstic Ink is here you and them.

Have a SkullAsstic Day !

WE LOVE IT

So, we are so busy creating and designing. We pretty much are consumed by this all for our customers. While we were in our brain storm session we decided we want to hear from our groupies. We want to know what colors and things you dig so we can design away for you. After all its you who keeps us going.

So we are blasting Rock and Roll music in our studio and drawing, cramming and storming on what to do next. You certainly cant make Rock and Roll Baby Clothes listening to Barry Manilow... but we like him too !

So we are trying to channel old school tattoo designs and some awesome 80's punk baby clothes. Guess we should blast some Ramones!
