Grafickle, as the name cleverly denotes, is a clothing company based on the capricious nature of the company’s graphic designs – that of illusions and tricks of the eye. Owners, Nick Gilbert and Jason B. Steele focus the designs on things such as ambigrams, negative space and illusion. An ambigram by definition is “A design that may be read as the same word or phrase (or sometimes two different words or phrases) when oriented in two different ways.” A negative space image is simply an image in which the positive and negative space offers different depictions. These forms of art, despite the convoluted definitions, are a perfect platform for the graphic designs of a city as diversified as Austin, Texas.
Jason B. Steele and Nick Gilbert are artists and entrepreneurs who want to make a difference in the Austin creative scene. Grafickle offers many creative Austin, Texas t-shirts, which can be purchased online at Grafickle.com or at your favorite local clothing or souvenir shop. Grafickle is not like other clothing companies, in that the art, for Grafickle, takes center stage. With art exhibitions and gallery showcases as plans for the future, Grafickle is looking to take a stand for traditional creativity found in an unusually modern realm of retail.
“The idea is to make a products that Texans will love, and those people that are visiting Texas will want to share with their friends and family - wherever they might live.”, says Jason B Steele, Grafickle co-owner and entrepreneur. With eye-catching designs and a Texas themed twist, Grafickle is doing just that.
An example of one of the products offered for sale by Grafickle is the “Austin Fold” tee, which depicts the words “Austin Texas” with the word “fold” in between - herein lies the trick. Fold the shirt on the dotted line and the Austin, Texas becomes the Austin slogan “weird”. “The Austin Fold tee is a design that really expresses what Austin is all about – Texas pride and a lot of creativity in between.”, says Nick Gilbert, co-owner and artist of Grafickle.
