Tripp is a self-taught screen printer from North Carolina. He has been designing art since 1995, and began printing shirts in 1998, and on paper in 2002. Aside from individual prints, he also prints and designs clothing with original art designs printed on them through his company Graphics TabooT, which intends to help new artists get their work seen through limited edition runs of designs on t-shirts and other items.> Tripp has also been printing commission work for bands in an increasing number with good success. Currently residing in Denver and touring nationally with the music festival circuit and rock/jam shows alike, Tripp has been involved in the music related art scene heavily since spring of 2002, and has been touring since 1997 seeing bands such as Phish, Widespread Panic, STS9, and the Grateful Dead, as well as related events and festivals. Nearly all designs are hand drawn. Most prints are acrylics on watercolor paper and are archival and acid free. All prints are created through silk-screening using a manual press, where the printer lays on each color separately, and are hand signed and numbered.
