Hello again! Remind us who you are and what business you started.

Hey everyone, I’m TJ Mapes, founder of RIPT Apparel. We partner with independent artists all over the world and sell their artwork on t-shirts, hoodies, posters, and more in our marketplace. A portion of every sale goes back to them and we’ve worked with 10,000’s of artists over the years.

Our bread and butter really are our daily deals. Everyday at midnight CST, three new designs by three new artists go live at a deep discount. T-Shirts start at just $14 for instance.

When I think about all we’ve done over the years, I am most proud that we’ve paid our artist community multiple millions of dollars. Many of our artists do this full time, while many do it on the side, and we want to help them no matter their situation.
