ABOUT

The print shop started as SQUAD19, creating gig posters in the basement. After years of screen printing for bands like Melvins, Queens of the Stone Age, Cheap Trick, The Black Crowes, and more, experimentation with a skull design for HELMET in 2007 sparked something. That skull became one of the best-selling images, appearing on stickers, skateboards, and various prints over the years.

The experiment evolved into deeper exploration, with the skull as the centerpiece. Chaotic assortments of ink layered through the screen-printing process yielded a series of unique prints—each one different from the last. The basement print shop kept rolling.

Web3 opened new doors. Starting on Tezos in late 2021, learning blockchain and minting processes led to DeathWish 365—one skull drawn every day throughout 2022. Digital exploration met print shop experience, expanding the work into new territory while pushing creative boundaries.

Now, DeathWish enters a new phase. Prints, skulls, and occasional digital work appear as they’re created—still pulled by hand, still printed on the same banquet table that’s been in the basement since 2000. No fixed schedule, no agenda—just the work, honoring print shop roots while continuing to explore.

The journey continues: creating art, pulling prints, letting each piece arrive when it must. Same basement. New tools. No rules.
