What is Artin Design

To kick off the new blog I guess I'll give a brief history of the company. Artin Design started about 4 years ago as a production company. The local Elks Lodge was looking for a new way to raise money for their organization, and I was looking for something new to do on the weekends. I offered to organize local concerts in their banquet room and donate the profits to the Elks.

After about a year of donating our profits and building up a small following in the area, an acquaintance of mine asked if he would help bring in some bigger acts. Excited at the opportunity to book some of my favorite bands, I struck up a partnership to bring national tours to our local establishment. Booking at the lodge quickly grew from a weekend hobby to a lucrative side business.

With the help of several business partners we brought in many national tours for the next 2 years. Unfortunately as the shows got bigger, the lodge's demands got higher and the operation lost its appeal. As a graphic design major I had always played with the idea of starting a t-shirt company, but didn't know where to start. After a long talk with my girlfriend about being unhappy with our day jobs and needing to find a creative outlet we decided to start up separate clothing companies, Artin Design and Love Is More.

Artin Design officially launched in October of 2009. Struggling to survive in this economy, it has been a difficult start, but we're not giving up yet.
