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 explorations of variety, with the skull as centerpiece. Using chaotic assortments of ink layers through the screen-printing process, these ink experiments 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, the project evolved into DeathWish 365 - one new skull drawn every day throughout 2022. Digital exploration met print shop experience, building community while pushing creative boundaries.

Now, DeathWish enters a new phase. Monthly releases combine artistic exploration with traditional craft, all still printed on the same banquet table that's been in the basement since 2000. Each month brings new opportunities to collect both artwork and prints, maintaining the spirit of innovation while honoring print shop roots.




The journey continues: creating art, pulling prints, building community. Same basement, new tools, endless possibilities.
