*CMRTYZ* is a free thinking, limitless, expectation-less operation. We are unassuming in our approach whether it be fashion or design, always with the mindset of having fun and making the whole experience rewarding and mutually beneficial for our clients/friends. We are always seeking retail accounts with those who are willing to have a strong personal relationships with us and be open to collaborative creative endeavours... and party with ;). We hope to lead a resurgence of DIY, lo-fi aesthetic through silk-screening and analog design and definitely want more friendly people surrounding us always.
CMR never went to art school. In fact, he openly admits that he never studied graphic design techniques, doesn't know a thing about computer design programs, and doesn't even own a computer. With a good eye for composition and a bit of intuition, he often times designs posters while riding the bus and completes layouts within an a few hours using sharpies, collaged images, and copy machines. His black & white and two-color posters are simple in the sense that they are bold and raw; pixelated and hand-drawn, they have an organic edge that is rarely seen in the work of contemporary designers. When he's not designing a poster or drawing in his sketchbook, you'll likely find him smoking, listening to garage-punk records, or drinking his coffee black.
TYZ has been a nomad for years, living in the deserts of Arizona, the bay area of California's coast, the forests of Northern Washington and settling for now in Seattle. Being interested in art, photography, and fashion, he has created a familiar niche in all his homes- that of local enthusiast and collaborator. With his rugged demeanor and ability to always land on his feet, he has never had a problem moving from one great undertaking to another. With a gift of gab and clear understanding of where we want our brand to go he is a driving force behind getting things done and booked. Head of our Public Relations and Sales.
CMRTYZ is based in Seattle, WA.
