FEATURED MARCH VENDOR
Name: Tracy Shiraishi
Company Name: Roketo
How long have you been doing this? Since 2004
What made you start your business? I learned how to screen print when I was in art school in San Francisco. I was studying painting, but I'd make shirts for myself in the screen printing lab for fun. The next year, when I was back in Hawaii, I did some shirts for a Indonesian Tsunami fundraiser. People really liked the shirts. I enjoyed the immediacy and the accessibility of t-shirts as a medium. I did more, loved it, and I've been doing it since.
What inspires your designs? The designs are mainly derived from things that interest me - so usually they usually relate to science, philosophy, music, absurdist humor or a combination thereof. I figure other people who share a similar sensibility will dig them as well. In short, I make nerd shirts.
If you had advice for any new up-and-coming artists out there what would it be? Work towards perfection. It's a completely unattainable goal, but don't concern yourself with that. It doesn't matter. Commit entirely to perfecting what you do and work hard. Your newest piece should be better than your last one. Your next piece should be better than that. Success, respect -- all that other stuff comes as a byproduct of your progression towards mastery. Be focused and the peripheral nonsense will fall away.
