Brandon Rike

Brandon Rike was born January 6, 1983 in Dayton, OH. Ever since he was a little kid he constantly said he was going to grow up to be an artist. When he was 13 he started his own band and said his first band logo was drawn on graph paper in math class. From then on he was designing fliers for the band by hand and he was also using the paint program on his PC. From then on he was constantly taking as many art classes as he possible could. After graduating high school, him and his band went on tour for a couple of years. His band got a record deal in Seattle and from then on went on tour again. At this point he was only designing shirts for his own band, but going on tour allowed him to make shirts for other bands as well. He said he first got paid to design tshirts sometime in 2002 and his band finished their tour in 2006. At this time he took on the graphic design career full swing. As of right now he designs shirt graphics for bands, he does occasional logos, and once in a while he does album art. Brandon loves letters, he loves tweaking them in every which way. He wants his end result to make him just as excited when he comes back to it after a while. Some bands he has made shirts for are Nirvana, Incubus, Underoath,And Kiss.
