Fresh Air Shirts was founded by airbrush artist Stephen Bray, whose career spans decades of hand-painted apparel, custom airbrush artwork, and creative entrepreneurship. What began as a passion for airbrush art evolved into a full-time business creating one-of-a-kind, personalized apparel for fans, teams, celebrations, and milestones worldwide.

From Airbrush Art to a Global Creative Brand

Stephen Bray’s creative journey includes years of professional airbrush work, retail shop management, and custom commission art. Over time, his distinctive airbrush style — bold color, expressive lettering, and fine-art detail — became the foundation of Fresh Air Shirts.

Today, every piece is hand-painted in Los Angeles, combining technical airbrush skill with personal storytelling. No templates. No mass production. Just real art made to be worn.
