OUR STORY
Growing up, I was heavily into horror movies, Goosebumps books, metal music, skateboarding, and all things Halloween. I slowly became more and more intrigued and obsessed with the mind bending artwork that accompanied all of it. After years of doodling little monsters and copying Pushead skulls in my notebook, I decided to post a few sketches on Myspace (lol) - And soon after, I was contacted by a local band who were in need of T-shirt designs. So I buckled down, stayed up until sunrise, and taught myself some basic Photoshop skills and created my first ever clothing designs. From there, what was once a hobby, snowballed into a full-time job designing bold and colorful art for t-shirts, cd packaging, posters, and other merchandise for local and internationally recognized metal bands. In May of 2012, after years of designing freelance, I decided to change paths and with the help of my wife, and Co-Founder Ricki Crawford, take my art and release it as t-shirts and prints under the name CAVITYCOLORS. (A name coined from the idea of vibrant colors drawing you in to view something that may be horrific or unsettling in subject matter) Since 2012, Cavitycolors has become an internationally recognized brand, with collaborations with some of the leading artists and designers working today, while also acquiring licensing rights to produce official merchandise for a wide range of horror, sci-fi, and cult classic films. We're always on a quest down a path lined with glowing pumpkins, seeking that exact same nostalgic feeling we all felt as a kid discovering our favorite scary movies for the very first time. This inspiration spills over into the items we create for our brand. We're here to bring you the same feeling you get while watching a favorite monster movie after midnight, or throwing on your favorite Halloween costume to go trick 'r treating! We're incredibly humbled to have customers and supporters from around the world who share the same passion for all things spooky and weird, and we can't thank you enough for the ongoing support. Without you, our brand wouldn't exist.
