The Laundromat

Small Order Merch for the Growing Artists - Small Shop for Big Dreamers

Growing up my mother would take us with her to the laundromat to wash our cloths. I have a lot of memories from that time. The smells, the noise of the T.V. as the patrons watched Sally Jessy or the ilk. Sometimes they'd have food, but it was never very good and it was always overpriced. Still, I'd sit and draw or just watch as the dryers tumbled over and over. There was a gentle peace in it.

That's why I called the Laundromat just that. I spent years trying to find a way to make merchandise for the art I was creating, but it was always so far out of my price range, the idea of becoming a full time artist seemed really helpless. Eventually I came to the conclusion my only option might be to make my own. I've always wanted to be the kind of artist that uplifted and supported other artists. One of my most cherished tenements is that everyone should have art, it should be accessible. It should be just as accessible for artists. That is to say that artists, illustrators, photographers, musicians and everyone else should have access to quality, reasonably priced merchandise that allows them to showcase their talent and diversity. In short, I wanted the Laundromat to be a place of gentle peace that artists could make what they wanted or needed quickly, easily, and without the worry of overspending, leaving more money for cinnamon bears.

Our Products

It's true. I grew up in a time you had to order everything you wanted; it didn't matter if it was a shirt, a sticker, or an elephant in a dress. The problem was you had to order 50 or 100 of one item. That's understandable from a business stand point, but it's also bonkers as heck. That's why I started collecting equipment to make my own stuff. Once by no small amount of urging by friends and my own ideas I decided to open it up to other artists. Why shouldn't you be able to order 5 shirts and not spend $40 on each of those shirts, or ordering 50 stickers of one design, what if no one likes that design?! Where was I? Oh yes, if you like the idea of a no minimum, multiple design, super handsome shop and shop owner, Jeff lives down the street, but I can definitely do the first two!
