My name is Michael Buckalew and I’m a graphic designer focused on screen printed merch, apparel, and artwork inspired by music, vintage graphics, and DIY culture. Most of my work pulls from old band tees, bootlegs, folk art, graffiti, and things that feel a little imperfect and lived in.
Through my freelance design work and print projects, I create graphics, apparel, and merchandise for brands, bands, businesses, and personal projects. I spend a lot of time around live music, printing shirts, traveling for shows, and making things that feel personal instead of mass produced.
This portfolio is a collection of design work, merchandise, and creative projects I’ve created over the years
