EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) — At Proper Printshop in El Paso, you’ll find Alan Hudson and Tupac. <\/p>\n
“Tupac grew up\u00a0in a cage in front of somebody’s house for seven years.\u00a0His name was Paco. It’s a second chance now. So that’s how we got the name Tupac. So, yeah, he’s, he’s saved my life so far,” Alan Hudson told ABC-7 during an interview. “I mean, look at the guy…he commands everything.”<\/p>\n
While Alan Hudson is the boss, as far as anyone is concerned, this business is run by Tupac, referred to as the CEO of the company. <\/p>\n
Located on 1120 Yandell Drive in Downtown El Paso, Proper Printshop blends hands-on craftsmanship with modern technology.<\/p>\n
“I always liked making silly shirts for myself and, my friends, but, and then I sold a bunch at a convention, and then it turned into, ‘Hey, can you make me some shirts?’ And now, 15 years later, i’m going back to making my own shirts again.”<\/p>\n
This print shop provides prints and embroidery for t-shirts and clothing, along with prints for posters. <\/p>\n
AsI took a tour of Proper Printshop, the business demonstrated the process of printing on shirts. First,\u00a0ink is applied to the shirts using\u00a0stencils, then the shirts run through a\u00a0heat-press at 350\u00a0degrees so the design sticks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With Tupac\u2019s as CEO, he continues to drive the printshop’s commitment to helping dogs at the local nonprofit, Rescue Runners.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We do their\u00a0shirts and their order fulfillment, and then, um, any kind of photos and stickers and stuff like that. We try to discount that highly, and\/or, just do it for free.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) — At Proper Printshop in El Paso, you’ll find Alan Hudson and Tupac. “Tupac…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":215466,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[138,140,139],"class_list":["post-215465","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-el-paso","tag-el-paso","tag-el-paso-headlines","tag-el-paso-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215465","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215465"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215465\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/215466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215465"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215465"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
