Slow Loris Shirts was started in Oakland California in 1997, in a hot windowless storage room, located in the back of a parking garage basement of an old cannery building. Surrounded by train tracks, large expanses of cement, and the Bart train buzzing above, the very first shirts were printed. After graduating from CCA(C) in 1998, Slow Loris (Jessica Lynch) left Oakland and returned home to Washington state, re-locating to Guemes island, where Slow Loris has resided for the past 8 years. Ten years of screen printing drawings onto shirts, paper and clothing for people around the world, and for bands like “Tv on the Radio” and ” my Brightest Diamond”, Slow Loris has teamed up with good friend Arlo Rumpff, taught him how to screen print, and together crank out even more limited edition art shirts and prints than before.

Photos shown here are from one of the many barn studio’s Slow Loris has resided in over the past 10 years. To see the current SLow Loris set- up, check out our FLICKR page. We moved to a new HUGE studio, and we love it!

Shirts are sold in editions of 100 or less through here, slowshirts.com, as well as in a handful of small boutique stores around the world. You’ll never find a Slow Loris shirt in a chain store. Think of Slow Shirts as a limited edition art print; when you buy one, only 99 other people in the world could be walking around with the same shirt on their back.

This web-site would not be alive if it were not for my wonderful friend Stephen the Brit. I met him here on the world wide web a couple years ago at threadless.com, where we both had won a t shirt design contest. Mine was a yellow microscope, Stephen’s was a red rooster.

A BIG thank you to all past and present customers for supporting Slow Loris Shirts.
