FAQ
WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT FROM OTHER T-SHIRT BRANDS?
We design and print our own unique indie art, along with licensed photographs from talented artists and photographers. You won’t find any bootlegs or stolen copyrighted material here. We only use soft, high-quality shirts—no cheap, stiff ones that shrink or cause the artwork to crack after just one wash.
DO YOU PRINT CUSTOM T-SHIRTS FOR OTHERS OR DO CONTRACT PRINTING?
We exclusively print for our own brand. When we discover artwork or photography we admire, we license it and print it under our brand, with the option to offer wholesale opportunities to the artist. We do not offer contract printing services.
HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH YOUR PRICING?
We believe our prices are just right. As mentioned earlier, we use premium garments and specialty inks, such as metallic luster and glow-in-the-dark, which come at a higher cost. We put extra time and effort into inspecting each item to guarantee durability and quality, all while keeping our prices affordable. We never overcharge our customers.
HOW LONG DO T-SHIRT PRINTS LAST?
Our T-shirts are built for longevity. Each shirt is heat-pressed to achieve a soft-hand feel and ensure the ink is properly cured. The lifespan of the shirt ultimately depends on how it’s cared for, but we have customers whose shirts are over 4 years old and still look as fresh as the day they bought them.
WHERE CAN I FIND / BUY YOUR T-SHIRTS?
Our garments are available for purchase on our website, at local conventions in Arizona, and at Evil Izzy’s Haunted Emporium in Phoenix, Arizona. We’re also seeking retail partners in other cities to carry our brand in their stores. Currently, we participate in conventions like Horror Fest, Mad Monster Party, Days of the Dead, and Oddities & Curiosities.

HOW DO THE GARMETS FIT? WHAT ARE THE CARE INSTRUCTIONS?
Our unisex T-shirts and women’s rocker tank tops have a comfortable, loose fit and are true to size, with minimal shrinkage after washing. The racerback tanks fit more snugly, so we recommend ordering a size up. Please refer to the sizing charts below for each garment. To extend the life of your shirt, avoid washing in hot water, using bleach or fabric softeners, or drying with high heat. We suggest washing the garments inside out and hang drying them to prevent damage from excessive heat, as heat is used to set the prints and too much can ruin them.
