Abstract Denver
Screen-printed Colorado streetwear made by the shop behind Indy Ink
The retail face of Indy Ink, a Denver screen-printing operation running since 2002, now with several stores around the metro and this one on the Blake Street side of Dairy Block. Everything is designed here and most of it is printed here: tees, hoodies, caps, and collaborations with local artists on Colorado subjects that are not the same six mountain silhouettes everyone else sells. It is the correct answer to wanting a Denver shirt that a Denver person would wear.
Why go. Local-artist graphics you cannot buy at the airport.
Ask what dropped that week; the artist collaborations are short runs and do not come back.
