A Legacy in Screen Printing

From Graffiti to Collectable Fashion: The Evolution DOS

In his younger days, Dave was known as a prolific graffiti tag artist (all city). The DOS tag was known and seen throughout the whole of Birmingham. This passion for the repetitive aesthetic and the drive to always be No1 reflects in his work as a Screenprinter.

When iconic Japanese brand Goodenough needed t-shirts, Dave was the chosen hand to print them. Add to that Massive Attack, Gimme Five, Tenderloin and Very Ape (AAPE).

Dave's list of culturally diverse clients is truly epic!
