The Artists

Most branded apparel is forgettable. A logo on a blank shirt, worn once, then forgotten. We wanted something different.

Risk and Roll Art starts with the artists. Every design is original work, created by illustrators and poster artists with reputations in editorial and music. When you wear one of our shirts, you’re wearing their art.

Alice Mollon

French-born, Oxford-educated illustrator who splits her time between France and the UK. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, Vogue, The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, and TED, among many others. She has been in the business for more than nine years, and her editorial work has been long listed for the World Illustration Awards.

Her work
Bright, bold, and conceptual. Alice has a gift for taking a complicated idea and turning it into a single image that makes sense the moment you see it. Things like loss aversion, efficient frontiers, and market volatility are not easy to draw. Alice makes them look obvious. Her style is refined without being fussy. It has the sophistication of editorial illustration with a playful edge that keeps it from ever feeling corporate.

Dan Stiles

Portland-based designer and illustrator best known for his rock concert posters. Over the last two decades he has created artwork for bands including Arctic Monkeys, Sonic Youth, Wilco, Death Cab for Cutie, Vampire Weekend, Arcade Fire, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Sigur Rós, along with commercial work for Nike, IBM, AT&T, and the X Games. PowerHouse Books published a monograph of his posters called One Thing Leads to Another.

His work

Bold, graphic, and unmistakably rock and roll. Dan came up through the DIY punk scene and taught himself to silkscreen posters before moving to digital illustration. His work uses colorful geometric shapes, strong typography, and the kind of visual punch that was built to grab your attention on a telephone pole covered in other posters. Writers have described his style as “punk rock modern” and “pop folk.” We call it the energy we wanted on our shirts.
