what's the underdog ink scoop?
crafty gal + vintage love + frenchie + t-shirt desire = underdog ink!
Underdog Ink started it's life as Abby-Normal..... which was born out of two friend's desires to have stylish T-shirts to wear on a daily basis.
Now solely run and operated by Bay Area artist and crafter
Lisa Solomon, Underdog Ink is the store in which she sells her handmade goods.... from buttons and badges to hand silkscreened T's and totes. She gets whims to makes stuff of all kinds and can't possibly keep it all for herself!
Lisa finds inspiration in ephemera, old tools, and "stuff" in general {really! stuff!: ribbons, pinking shears, vintage fabric, art supplies, old books, typewriters, fake flowers, etc.} And of course she finds inspiration from her frenchie TONKA! {pictured above and the helpful model for the logo!}
She wholeheartedly believes in supporting artisans and small mom and pop shops as much as possible. Everything from Underdog Ink is made with care {either start to finish by Lisa herself, modified or altered by Lisa, or with the help of some carefully chosen folks}. All the produects available are limited edition {which Lisa feels is a good thing! do you want to have the same thing that everyone else has??}. Still have some questions? Try our
F.A.Q section.... or send us
an
email... we'd love to hear from you.... suggestions, requests, ideas.... all welcome!
please note: our press has thus far been for our old incarnation.... Abby-Normal....
