Emily The Strange is a counterculture icon and lifestyle brand created by Rob Reger and Cosmic Debris. At the time, Cosmic was a t-shirt screenprint company based out of a warehouse in what would later be branded South Of Market. The small company’s main crew had met in Santa Cruz and all moved up to San Francisco.
I met Rob at the San Francisco Art Institute. A few years later I would become the first artist hired by Cosmic Debris to be dedicated to the Emily The Strange character and brand. I worked there as the lead illustrator and designer and later art director.
In 2006 I left the company which had become too much work as I was also working on Oopsy Daisy brand. I needed what turned out to be a 13 year break.
In 2019 Rob approached me about helping him get the Instagram account going and I began curating the feed with classic designs and then slowly began creating new Emily designs for t-shirts and creating new collections and later developed the stop-motion animations for Emily Reels.
