THE HISTORY OF REBEL8

REBEL8, the name, was first created by Joshy D. in 2000. Mike Giant came up with the look: skulls, roses, and every thing in between. The clothing wasn't born until March 24, 2003 when only a few dozen t-shirts were screenprinted.

Since the beginning, REBEL8 has matured and grown significantly, but continues to run off the same punk D.I.Y. philosophy it once started with. Our diversity in products continually expands making the REBEL8 brand more solid and complete.

Mike Giant illustrates all the graphics by hand: a process that can take upwards of five hours per piece drawing time. For t-shirts, each graphic is printed using film shot directly from the original artwork. This process allows the graphics to be printed on a shirt without the use of computers. Printing the "old school" way. In our opinion, this process results in a higher quality print, and helps maintain the integrity of the original artwork.
