Hi! I’m Josh.
Screen-printing has long been my favorite way to create. In 2008, I began my first screen-printing business as a student at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design while pursuing a license in Art Education with an emphasis in Painting. Since then, I have continued to create while also dedicating my time to teaching Art to the next generation.
My wife Jenna and I have been married for 11 years and are grateful to be raising our two kids in the beautiful city of Colorado Springs.
I am fully driven to create. In any and every moment there is inspiration; there are parallels and unique harmonies to be found and turned into work. I have entered a season of creativity in my life and I’m finding that I must address and embrace the world around me.
As I encounter new experiences each day, the way that I’ve found truest to myself to process these things is by creating.
I was first introduced to Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop as a’90s kid who loved to draw. I began experimenting and learning this software in a way that only an 11 year old would. I haven’t stopped. My brother, our neighbors and I created countless home movies on my family’s video camera, but wouldn’t begin learning time-based editing until I was in College. After graduation, I had the opportunity to work as a Video Production Manager at a boutique guitar dealer in Boulder County where I got to meet and mingle with many guitar-nerd heroes. It was fun, but not where I knew I would end up.
All the while, my wife and I were running a Wedding Photography business, I continued screen printing, videography, animation and graphic design on the side. I began teaching Graphics, Animation, Photography, Videography and fine arts in Littleton CO at Columbine High School where I was for 7 years until we moved down to Colorado Springs in the summer of 2023. It was incredibly rewarding; but not the finish line.
Screen Printing has it’s grip on me as I could have always predicted. It has been my constant creative passion that I’ve always known I would return to. It has been my dream and now I find myself here. I’m leaving teaching after this school year (I’ve been in another High School down here this year) to pursue screen printing full time.
