ABOUT me

Hi. My name is Krusty (ok, it's really Kristy). That's what I got dubbed in high school cuz of my punk rock hair dids. That's where I printed my 1st tshirt in my Graphic Arts class with Mr. Beaver. Got hooked. Went to art school where I learned more screen printing techniques. Expensive cut n' paste techniques (which I still value), but more so helped me develop conceptually. Instead of forging on with a career in NY (tried briefly), I decided to go to Alaska and work in the fishing industry. Cuz really, why not. Pretty much changed my trajectory. Then I started to snowboard, which totally ruined me ;)

Currently, I live in NW Montana, where I enjoy mountain life with my bestie dog, PNut. Most days you'll find us in the studio (garage), where the Krusty magic happens. I have a crappy couch where I sit and draw. Also, there's a 4 color print press for my tees. It's all pretty modest and DIY, which I prefer. Inspiration comes from the 80's, specifically the punk/skate/ music/ art scene, IFS therapy (good shit), humor (when I'm not being serious), getting outdoors, authenticity, transparency, and more recently...cutting myself a break. I really do strive to create quality, relatable art and apparel for y'all. 

Oh yeh, one more thing, I had not much support as a weirdo, horribly self conscious, artsy teen. Just want you to know...ICU.

STAY RAD,
