Tom Sawyer Camps
Ellens celebrates over 20 years of partnership with Tom Sawyer Camps
Mad Men
It started with an order and has led to an addiction! The order was for 250 deep burgundy terry-cloth robes. A robe so soft it begs cuddling. Since we placed the order for the cast and crew of Mad Men, I have become addicted to the series!
Bukowski Exhibit Opening
Charles Bukowski: Poet on the Edge opening October 9th at the Huntington Library. Charles Bukowski (1920-94), was one of the most original voices in 20th-century American literature. In his poetry and prose, Bukowski captured life at its most raw.
Maverick!
Much of the first work week after Labor Day was cool & gray here in L.A. -- as if we needed a reminder that summer is officially over! And I found myself feeling blue...that is, until I got to work and saw these newly minted samples roll off our press. Whoa! We're doing shirts for the very cool surf line Mavericks.
Westridge School Tigers
Westridge School, right down the street from Ellens, does an amazing job of welcoming kids back with an extensive line of school apparel, as well as non-wearable items. What better way to do-away with the end-of-summer blues than with a little retail therapy!
Loter Entertainment Studio
It has been our great pleasure to work with Shelley and John Loter for a number of years. Together they are the talented dynamic duo behind Loter Entertainment Studios, which develops art and merchandise for some of the most-beloved animated characters in the industry.
Fresh, Green Ideas
A lot of promo bang for your buck.
Mina Nakajima
Today Mina is the creative force behind the Rimo line, which includes (among other things) the Hawaiian-inspired collection, Muse.
Inland Koi Society
How about printing a hand-painted watercolor onto a T-shirt. The Inland Koi Society is a group of enthusiasts who meet to share their appreciation of koi.
