Screen printing

Riptide Graphics was created in 1990 while I was in high school. In the beginning, I produced silk screened cedar box lids for canned seafood products. From there, I went on to silk screening t-shirts and other garments. After high school, I took a two year graphic design course at Malaspina College. Once college was complete, I started working at Coast Glass where I was first introduced to sandblasting. I eventually purchased the equipment and continued sandblasting for my own company. From 2002 to early 2005, I worked as an artist for a video game company. I still kept Riptide Graphics operating and have now made it my sole occupation. I take great pride in working with my customers ideas from concept through to reality. It is very rewarding seeing the finished product and having a happy customer in the end. I feel very fortunate being able to create art for a living in one of the greatest areas to live in the world.

We strive to create quality product on schedule and at a fair price.  Whether it is a dozen shirts for your staff or 1000 shirts for an event, our goal is to be on time every time and a happy customer at the end.
