Katelyn came to ASO in 2015 and still can’t get over how amazing and fun screen printing is. If anything in her life rivals her love of art, it can only be her love of animals.

cholloway@asoapparel.com Cozmo spent many years floating the lazy river through and around the University of Tennessee’s fine campus full of architectural marvels; 7 years to be exact. It was a long time indeed, however he did not leave empty handed. Cunningly, he convinced the university to award him two Master’s Degrees (Business and Marketing with a Teaching Concentration, Theory of Education) and a Bachelor’s Degree (Human Resources and Development) which are still rolled up in the orange and white cardboard tubes to this day (13 years later) While in college, Cozmo discovered the electric guitar and honed his ability to administer rippers in a public forum. Eventually that led to 8 years of full time touring with rock n roll band, The Dirty Guv’nahs. Before making the leap to that rock and roll life, Cozmo served as the production manager/screenprinter for a nonprofit social enterprise called Tribe One. In addition, he served as the head printer for Nothing Too Fancy Print Shop during the Guvs two year touring hiatus. In the second phase of his life/week, Cozmo enjoys playing guitar rippers with his two bands (The Dirty Guv’nahs, Electric Darling), listening to guitar rippers, and eating medium rare ribeyes. |
