Dropped by @blackstampstudios last week and caught up with Erik while he was pulling the last prints on our new Tommy Tsunami hoodies.
We talked story for a while — how Black Stamp got started, what pulls him to the coast as a creative, and why Princeton-by-the-Sea is quietly becoming one of the more interesting little pockets on the Peninsula right now. New businesses moving in, the harbor evolving, good energy.
Working with Erik is easy. You bring a vision, he tells you what’ll actually work on fabric, and you end up with something better than what you came in with. Small-batch, local, done right.
If you’ve got a project — apparel, merch, anything — go find Erik.

Hosted a workshop on Valentines Day ❤️ We have more to come, if your interested in joining please DM us your email and we will get you on the saddle! 🙏
Thank you @blackstampstudios ! I couldn’t be more stoked about the look and feel of my new business card. It’s like a little piece of art.
The following are a few examples of the handmade quality prints you can expect from this institution on the coast.
They also do soft goods (as in wearables)! Say something, treat yourself, spread your message to the world, and be open to letting your ideas be challenged, respectfully. Grazie!
The First workshop of 2026 at Black Stamp Studios was a doozy! Michelle, Kelda & Joni all new to Screen Printing made some very impressive prints! They hand drew all their seperations & hand pulled their posters! All powered via a bit of caffeine and cookies! I will be hosting more workshops in Feb & March. If you want to join please DM me your email info and I’ll add you to my group email. I hope you can join us in the future & thanks for watching!

⚡️GOING ELECTRIC⚡️
Black Stamp Studios [ @blackstampstudios ]
“Going Electric”
Screenprint on paper
18” x 23” // 2025
Inspired by Caltrain’s transition to electric trains in 2024, this piece is a reflection of change, progress, and personal connection. For artist and printer Eric Kneeland, who has been riding Caltrain since he was young, “Going Electric” represents both a nostalgic journey and a nod to evolution—of the trains themselves and his own path through screen printing.
You can purchase this piece professionally framed or grab the print by itself. The choice is yours; Make it now on timelessthrills.com.
We are in the last three days of our current group exhibition, “Print Is Not Dead.”
HOURS:
Today: Open ’til 6pm
Tomorrow (Fri 10/10) - 12-6pm
LAST DAY (Sat 10/11) - 12-6pm
