Who are we?
Each artist we work with comes up with a unique design for a Punk – see the list at the side for the original “line-up” of artists. Then the legendary and most handsome Wade Krause does the silk screening. Assembly is generally done by whatever motley crew of retired circus freaks and over the hill punk rockers we can find that day…Wade and I (Paul Fresno) have worked in various areas of Fresno, CA’s “art/music scene” (mostly music) for the last 20 years… Wade is a kick ass drummer in a band called Sparkle Jet who will be recording soon with another legend, Albini!…Aside from music, Wade’s real passion is arcade games – specifically vintage pinball machines…The dude restores them like it’s nobody’s business – check out his Website - www.pinballplayfield.com…Me? I’m more of a corporate lackey now, but for about 8 years I was heavily involved in punk rock show promotions, and owned a few independent record stores in Fresno with none other then Mr. Timothy Jackson Biskup. I still live in Fresno (we aint leaving) with my beautiful wife Lesli and our wonderful daughter Corin.
Well today's the day as they say...Mr. Stephan Richard has agreed to become a partner in the Circus Punk dynasty. Steve brings some financial savvy to the table (he can add and I can't), a truck for the long hauls to the post office and plenty of free time to help build 'em up for us...Steve owns his own inspection company and works his ass off there during the day, and then at Into The Sun (the silk screening shop) at night....Steve has been a good friend of mine for probably 15 years, and we finally get the chance to work on something together. He is also well known in Fresno as the "dude with the afro" doing back-side airs at the Mogul Bowl  back in '79...Which makes him just shy of 79 years old! Welcome mang!

Artists?
Well you can find most of ‘em on our site now (see list)…Some have been good friends for years, some we’ve met recently and are quickly becoming our good friends…We approach artists whom we enjoy and admire for the work they produce, and who in turn are excited about Circus Punks…In most cases they are also people that we have looked to and at for some incredible inspiration…It needs to be said right now that the artists that have responded to our pleas – EVERY SINGLE ONE – has been kind, considerate and very open to working with us on the Punks…And honestly from the bottom of our hearts we want to say thank you to each and every one of them….
If you’re an artist and you wanna chat about doing a Circus Punk don’t hesitate to hit us up…Just shoot us an e-mail but be sure to include “CIRCUS PUNK” in the subject line…

THANKS! – Paul

"What does "SOLD OUT" mean? To Circus Punks that means that we have shipped 98% of the production run to our various retail partners as listed on the retail links page. So some of them may have any of the various "SOLD OUT" Circus Punks still available. Now what does "SOLE DOUBT" mean? We dunno."
