We started in a small garage on April 20th, 1982 in Redondo Beach, CA. The first shop location opened in Hermosa Beach, CA in November that same year. We quickly outgrew the location and moved back to Redondo Beach in 1986 where it has been since.<\/p>\n
Phil Brown, the owner and founder, knew he was going to start his own business at a young age & that it had to be in the art field. After school, he was hired by a small graphics company, REP Graphics, as an artist\u2019s apprentice. He learned all types of custom printing on just about every service. He later worked for Hughes Aircraft in their art department and later in their drafting department. After Hughes, he was hired as an artist in a resort wear company printing customized shirts, California Lifestyles. From this point he knew what kind of business he wanted to start. It took over two years working in his spare time to build a 4 color custom tees printing press and shirt dryer in his garage.<\/p>\n
