Drew Brophey 'the paintshop' TV series
Great 6 set of video shows done by artist Drew Brophey. A lot of surfboard, motorcycle jobs, done oddly enough with paint pens. < worth a look.
Set in sunny california, with his business as the backdrop, makes for an inspirational story. Some insight into client work for promotional items.
From website: Dispelling the stereotype of what an artist really does, THE PAINT SHOP WITH DREW BROPHY TV series reveals the process of painting, designing and creating that is done behind the scenes of a surf lifestyle artist.
(start at bottom, thats Episode #1)

Greg- I've gotten thru the first 3- they are long! Sure like this guys art with the paint pens. I was so happy to see my home town of Santa Cruz CA in the videos!!!!! The Dream Inn is an old landmark and has been there as long as I have been around and that's a long time! and the streets and lighthouse and West Cliff Dr.- all were so good to see. Thanks for that. I will continue watching..........

I found the first vid really interesting. I had no idea about the process from start to finish, till now. I love Drew's last comment about how as a young boy he rode his bike to the beach to surf and he is now riding his bike to the beach to surf. Yep..... a lot of us just come full circle....

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
