Forest Passage Printing

Black metal-themed coffee? IN OHIO? You bet your ass. This roaster is also behind @presscoffeebar in Dayton and if you’re a Cincy local you’ll be sure to find his beans at @allez.cafe @1215winecoffee and @dovetale_bakery . And guess what? He’s about the biggest @valdrin_ausadjur fan you’ll find. Total support for this small business, and hoping for WAY more of this in the future. Printed on COMFORT COLORS so get after it! #woodburlcoffee #presscoffeedayton #cincy #forestpassage #cincinnati

Yeah. You damn well know what that photograph is. And if you don’t, may I direct you to Bomani Armah’s classic where he would direct you to READ A BOOK, READ A BOOK, READ A MOTHERFUCKING BOOK. These are some of the most legit “not fucking around, you know exactly what I stand for” tees I’ve ever printed, and I’m proud to do so. These are for @made.flesh lovingly known in the personal sphere as @killeragnew and they’ll be available at the forthcoming performance at the @fargonoisefest . Unfiltered, pure Minneapolis death industrial / harsh noise. Let’s fucking go. Swipe for detail. madeflesh.bandcamp.com #madeflesh #forestpassage #antifascist #deathindustrial #antifascistart

Had a wild couple of days printing these full-color wizard tees for @redscroll Records while listening to entirely too much Emperor, Weedeater, Black Sabbath, and dungeon synth. I feel like I need to drop a playlist. This is my first full-color job since lighting the fires again in the shop, and by gods, I’ve still got it. Old-school hand-screened. No garbage DTF, no inconsistent DTG. High quality, hard work. Printed on Bella+Canvas. This is the best shirt you’ll buy this year, and I’m very proud of how these came out. Stop in next time you’re in CT and grab one or head over to their Big Cartel where these will presumably be available for purchase in the coming week or two. Swipe for detail! redscrollrecords.bigcartel.com I’m expanding heavily right now—get at me with your merch questions! [email protected] #redscrollrecords #forestpassage #cincy #cincinnati

Modelo Monday? Sure! A decade of @vaelastrasz ‘s dungeon synth antics comin’ atcha via a repress of these 4-color beauties! If you haven’t seen already, they’re also adorning the cover of @peterbeste ‘s recent photo book on DS, three full years in the making, so pick up one of these and get cozy in it for that particular adventure. Shirts will be directly available from Min out of the trunk of their car at various festivals and Buc-ee’s (and likely BandCamp), and you can pick up the mentioned book from @hatandbeardpress !

This one is incredibly important to me, and many thanks to Ryan aka @primeval.well for trusting my vision for his recent tour merch. I’m behind the full layout of these, the distressing, and the full design of the newspaper (left) sleeve and the back, but this is also the first time that one of my original photographs has been used for a piece of merch—something I’m wanting to push more in the coming year with those whose aesthetic aligns with my own. I’m usually focused on rural entropy and decay, but the photograph used for the back print on these was taken during the darkest period of my life in 2024, during a visit with Alex Ford of @deathbedtapes who along with Bariann of @fiadhproductions was responsible for seeing me through months of impossibly difficult evenings directly after the cataclysm. I’m alive today because of those two, and I want that in writing here. The photo in question was taken at a cemetery near Alex’s home in Piqua, itself an isolated place by today’s standards. Anyone who knows Alex knows his obsessive love for the Hellraiser franchise, and I suppose he figured this was as good a time as any to tell me about the incredible mausoleum hidden away there simply marked with the rare family name “Flesh.” Wild story, to be sure, but absolutely true. As horrific as this period was, standing outside of that mausoleum on a frigid winter day, slackjawed at what I was witnessing, is and will remain among the most vibrant memories that I possess. I hadn’t worked with Ryan in a while and with a new tour coming up, I approached him about the possibility of designing the merch for what was to come for Primeval Well. Thankfully he was open to it, and it didn’t take long for the idea to come into focus. Rather than recount it, I’ll just repost what I sent him in the DM that sold the design for him: “Tennessee’s worst disaster was the Fraterville Mining Disaster in the early 20th century. I’m a big fan of tying lore into real events and blending reality with fiction, and this was a great opportunity to work that magic. I spent a bunch of time tracking down original newspaper clippings from the time and repurposing them for this.(Continued in comments)

Arguably the most important print of my career so far. These were done for EHG’s recent US tour with Crowbar. Shout out to the homie @disposableherox for the insane hookup. Swipe for detail and back print, and get at me for your merch needs! We’re burning the candle at every end right now. 🫡 www.eyehategod.ee #eyehategod #forestpassage #cincinnati #cincy #cincymetal

Lexington has itself one banger of a noise rock / synth punk band in @winners.band and they were kind enough to task me with pulling together another brilliant design by @jpfdesignco in time for their show this Friday with the homies @legalizecrop and @whoresband . Get yer asses down to @als_bar and show them some love! Black Next Level ringspun cotton tees with Pantones 393 and 7465 🫡 #winnersband #forestpassage #cincypunk #synthpunk #noiserock

2 colors, high detail, hand-screened koozies with UV-reactive fluorescent green ink. This is another classic piece of Sage print magic, with a big shoutout to @disposableherox for his excellent design work. Come see @jolie_poison do her thing this Sunday at the Cincy @asianfoodfest Lantern stage at 3:30 and maybe you’ll be able to snag one. Swipe for stills and non-UV views. #forestpassage #joliepoison #asianfoodfest #cincy #Cincinnati

We’re getting back to the grind in a big way here, and what better way to jump back into the fray than with an update to this now-classic dungeon synth design from our homie in @malfetds !

Swipe for detail, back print, and flier by old friend @indole_noise . These will be available for purchase online from the artist after the event Saturday. malfet.bandcamp.com #malfet #malfetds #dungeonsynth #forestpassage #northeastdungeonsiege
