Our Story

Tom’s visuals. Nikki’s words. Prince is the cutest.
Together, they’re RoartyArts.

roartyarts founders

The Roartys’ creative, psychedelic and dark-humor visions rise, phoenix-like, from decades of toiling in the darkest corners and, sometimes, the highest hills of the advertising, journalism and publishing worlds.

As longtime supporters of others' creative endeavors, we launched RoartyArts to channel our creativity (and sarcastic natures) into something by us, for you. To make you giggle as we do, to poke fun at the absurdity of it all — and to remind us all that life’s too short to take everything so seriously.

Our products are figments of our imaginations and interests — and while we’re as cuddly and kind as our sweet Prince IRL, a river of mischief and macabre runs through our veins.

That’s why you’ll find mugs showing the world imploding, quirky cards, vibrant and unique clothing, a plague doctor’s notebook and … you’ve had enough spoilers. Go see what’s waiting for you to discover.

Welcome to our world. Welcome to RoartyArts
