The Story. So far...
(Scroll down for FAQ)
There's a brand for everything. Sports, Thugs, Money Lovers, Music Fanatics, Artists. I feel like I've never aligned with any of them. Scud Rat was born through a combined love of modern design and craft mastery, the idea that nothing is fast, that it takes years of constant progress in the pursuit of perfection. It doesn't matter who you are of where you come from, the only thing that matters is the quality of what you produce.
I started a screen printing shop at the end of 2019 out of my Grandmas garage in West Auckland, I was living in the garage, my life dedicated to the craft, the only thing in that garage that wasn't related to screen printing was my bed and Grandmas washer and dryer. I've since moved out and have a new space, more equipment and most importantly a deeper understanding of what makes a print good.
What this brand aims to achieve is connecting with others dedicated to what they do, from tombstone makers to wood whittlers, from graphic designers to street artists, through clothing and events!
To anyone out there who purchases a print from me I thank you, and want you to know that the last few years of my life have gone into it.
