View Finder: Broprints

Aaron Clark is the artist and creative force that keeps Broprints going strong. 

Aaron studied art and graduated from Humboldt State University in 1993. With an emphasis in studio art, printmaking and ceramics, ironically, he never took screen printing.

It all started in his garage in 1994. He and a friend tore apart an old Fisher record player, took out the Lazy Susan bearing and mounted the bearing and turntable to an old desk and fabricated a funky two-color press.

They've been printing for the skateboard, surfing and music industry ever since, starting the custom screenprinting business in 1997. They print anything from stickers and posters to shirts, surf lams and mesh hats.

“It's been really fun to print this kind of stuff," Clark said. "What makes it all worth it is that every Wednesday night, Broprints employees, friends and anyone who might wander in the front door stay late and print their own designs and art.”

Remember: Broprints is not just for printing. It's for art!
