Living by Design

My Trick Pony Custom Graphic Apparel

The art lover in you wouldn’t be caught dead in jeans and a plain white tee. Not with so many designs out there to showcase.

Which is why My Trick Pony is precisely what you need: a new shop where you can have super cool, one-of-a-kind graphics emblazoned safely on your clothes.

It goes something like this: Bring in a design or choose from the collection of in-house artwork. Pick out a perfect tee in the color of your choice (or heck, bring your own). Choose your mode of application: screen transfer, embroidery, spray paint, or sublimation (high-heat dye saturation). They’ll bring your design to life right there on the spot.

And the fun hardly stops there. The first Saturday of every month, My Trick Pony hosts a party for the local designer-of-the-month. To booze and peruse are free; for 30 bucks you get a specially designed tee. Movie night is every last Sunday: The cover charge gets you a signature cocktail, a movie-inspired tee, plus a quality flick.

Bringing art to the people and people to the art?

Now that’s a place you can love.

The more graphic the scene, the better.
