Drive By Press

Drive by Press is a New York – based company that has been redefining promotional apparel and connecting brands with their customers for 6 years. From indie rock concerts, to corporate events, music festivals, international art fairs, and hundreds of universities, we’ve been there and made our mark! Drive By Press’ approach is truly innovative. Each design is hand cut into a piece of wood then custom printed on site. Participants are invited to collaborate with the artists in the selection and placement of the design, creating a one of a kind garment printed especially for them! Drive By Press is the only operation in the country using this printing method and are truly “one of a kind” apparel printers. Drive by Press was created in 2005 when two artist and print-makers, Gregory Nanney and Joseph Velasquez, met in graduate school and made it their mission to share their enthusiasm for printmaking with audiences everywhere. Before they could start, the two artists sold their art, pawned their guitars, amps, and all else but their souls in order to buy their printing press. They loaded the 600 pound 14th century style machine in the back of their vehicle and took off across the country and have been on the road ever since. Dubbed kings of DIY printmaking, the duo have now worked over 500 events and traveled over miles spreading ink and their style of guerilla art-making at events across America.
