Start Famous is a locally focused, socially conscious screen printing shop based in Hamilton, Ontario. We are a manual-press operation, focused on high-quality prints on premium garments. We are musicians and graphic designers, and we value good merchandise.

 MEET THE TEAM

Wade Morrison is the owner, operator, and head printer at Start Famous. He likes clean lines, halftones, and pastels.

Wade plays and sings in MATH CLUB, a local emo-rock band, and always has new creative projects on the go.

You’ll find him sprawled out on the couch watching the Leafs, in his home studio making noise, or working his way through another re-watch of Lost.

Chrisy Hurn-Morrison is co-owner, in-house graphic designer, and secondary printer. She likes bold imagery, good font choice, and proper aesthetic balance.

She plays and sings in BASEMENT REVOLVER, a Hamilton dream-pop/shoegaze band, and is the creative force behind REAL FRUIT JUICE, a queer-focused, body-positive clothing label.

You can find Chrisy walking in nature, around the campfire with friends, or screaming obscenities at the latest episode of The Bachelor(ette).

Seth Hunter is our shop manager, dark room denizen, and king of distribution. They like tactile textiles, dangly earrings, and tasteful nudity.

You can often find Seth relaxing on the porch, at the table playing Dungeons & Dragons, or curled up with their partner and their cat.

Max (full name EconoMax II) is our ink-curing, hand-warming old faithful. He never fails to crack a joke at exactly the wrong time, and keeps us on our toes.

You can find Max in exactly the same place at all times, as he’s connected to both the floor and the ceiling.
