GAMA-GO was started in 2000 by Greg Long & Chris Edmundson in Greg’s San Francisco garage where they began silkscreening teeshirts with artwork from their friends. They wanted to help promote the San Francisco art scene and get their minds off the drudgery of their day jobs. Shortly after starting, one of Greg’s friends, up and coming artist Tim Biskup joined forces with them, and printed shirts with one of Tim’s characters, the Gama-Goon. It was after the 3 of them got together that took a basement hobby, and turned it into present day GAMA-GO.
With such characters as The Yeti, DeathBot, Tigerlily, Sqiddles, Dirty Bird, and Bling, the designs they create fall right into place with the low brow and pop art movements. GAMA-GO specializes in unique apparel, gifts and art from artists including Tim Biskup, Joe Ledbetter, Jackson Pritt and Grace Fontaine to name a few.
