Afterschool Spectral

Retro pins, patches, and accessories

With a focus on late-70's/early-80's culture and obsolete objects from that era (including things we grew up with), we magnify those strange yet meaningful memories of youth and turn them into rad designs you can wear.

Afterschool Spectral is our way of looking backwards and tuning out the constant noise of the Information Age. What we're really trying to say is: tape heads, horror junkies, pinball wizards, rink rats, and new wave weirdos, we're here for you.

A retro-inspired merch brand created by me and partner, Tavis. We collaborated on all aspects of Afterschool Spectral. Tavis’ focus’ was more on the original illustrations, product concepts, copywriting, product photography, and running the Instagram. My focus was more on color, art direction, product development, branding, CAD, and promotional graphics. We’re not actively managing the brand at this time, but many products are still available if you see anything you like.
