Mug With Attitude

The message was reasonable, the delivery was dramatic, and now everyone is looking at you. Bold black lettering on white reads THE WORDS WERE FINE THE VOLUME WAS THE PROBLEM, and it speaks for anyone who feels things loudly and would like to blame the decibels, not the content. The big black type is easy to read from across a room, which is somewhat ironic. The lettering wraps around the entire ceramic, so the defense is visible from every angle. Raise it during a heated discussion and let the mug make your case. The words were calm, the point was valid and the people in the next office heard every syllable. The mug has no regrets, and neither do you.

Poster/Canvas Care

Care Instructions: Poster

Keep it out of direct sunlight, which fades ink over time. Hang it in a dry room, away from steam and damp. Dust it gently with a soft, dry cloth, and don’t spray or wipe it with liquid. For the longest life, put it under glass in a frame. Handle it by the edges, and store it flat or rolled loosely, never creased.

Care Instructions: Canvas

Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat vents and damp rooms. Dust the surface with a soft, dry cloth or a dry brush. Don’t use water, sprays or cleaners on the print. Hang it on a secure wall mount, and avoid pressing on the front of the canvas. If it’s stored, keep it upright and wrapped in a clean cloth, away from anything that could dent the front.
