Financial advisors
Advisors who want to connect without sounding like everyone else. Sometimes that means saying less, just better.
Finance, music, and original art
Why we built this
The story behind Risk and Roll Art—and why finance deserves something more interesting than another logo polo.
A message from founder Dan Solin
Where it started
The idea
Financial advisors think differently. You live in a world of long-term discipline, behavioral finance, and the quiet math of compounding. That world rarely shows up on a t-shirt or products you use or gift. Risk and Roll Art changes that.
The name is a nod to rock and roll. Finance and music share more than most people realize: a respect for pattern, a sense of timing, a feel for the long game.
So we partnered with award-winning illustrators from the gig poster and rock art scene to turn the ideas that matter most in investing into bold, wearable designs. We created apparel and products financial advisors would be proud to use, wear, and gift to friends, prospect and clients.
The reason
Why it exists
Too much of the finance industry feels generic, conservative, and indistinguishable. We believe advisors can be professional without being predictable.
We’re not trying to be louder. Just more interesting.
Made for real conversations
Who it’s for
02 / Organizations
Firms and teams
Client gifts, conference giveaways, and team kits done your way. Small runs, custom branding, or fully bespoke designs for firms that want to stand out.
Risk and Roll Art is owned by Evidence Based Advisor Marketing, LLC (EBAM), a firm I built to help financial advisors communicate better and connect more meaningfully with their clients.
Over the years, working alongside hundreds of advisors, I kept noticing the same thing. A lot of them were musicians. Most of the rest were serious music fans. It wasn’t a coincidence. The qualities that pull people toward music (an ear for pattern, discipline, timing, and emotion) tend to show up in people who think carefully about money and markets.
That observation planted a seed. If finance and music share so much common ground, why do they look so different on the surface? Why was financial marketing still stuck in a world of stock photos, boilerplate language, and forgettable branded merchandise?
Risk and Roll Art is my answer to that question. It lives at the intersection of two worlds that have more in common than most people realize. The goal isn’t novelty for its own sake. I wanted to give advisors something that reflects who they actually are, sparks real conversations, and makes the ideas they care about visible in a way no brochure ever could.
A well-designed shirt doesn’t just look good. It says something. And sometimes, saying something is all it takes to start the right conversation.
That’s what Risk and Roll Art is for.
Original art for the long game.
