"John's talents in concert with our large-format digital fabric printing give our clients a much wider range of visual opportunity." Duckett says that clients can now consult with the Sew What? graphics department to make certain that their electronic art files are fully optimized for production based on the clients' intended visual effects. the new department can also generate original graphic art content as-needed to meet show and staging requirements. John Rios and Sew What? began collaborating several years ago on staging for a Ted Nugent tour. Since that time, the relationship has grown, culminating in Mr. Rios' selection as the head of the manufacturers' new graphics department.
