The Eric & Christopher Story

In 1988, Chris Kline watched a friend screen print his own T-shirts and was instantly captivated. A skateboarder and artist at heart — into drawing and airbrushing — Chris was fascinated by the idea that one image could be reproduced again and again through screen printing.

He knew nothing about the process. So he went to the high school library, checked out a book on how to screen print, and taught himself by studying the photos and figuring it out step by step. (He wasn’t much of a bookworm — but he was determined.)

That moment sparked a lifelong passion for mastering the art of screen printing. What began as printing shirts for friends evolved into a full-time screen printing business that he ran successfully for more than 20 years.

When the economy shifted in 2008–2009 and Chris lost more than half of his business, he adapted — taking on side jobs and continuing to create. In 2009-2010, he had an idea to host a local art show in Bucks County centered around screen printing. He called it Push, Pull, Print.

The concept was simple:
Push creative boundaries.
Pull ideas from one another through collaboration.
Print.

Chris invited 20 local artists — many of whom had never screen printed before — to experiment with him. One artist asked if they could screen print a photograph of a farm animal onto fabric and turn it into a pillow.

From Chris screen printing in his basement, to Eric sewing pillows at his kitchen table, the first few pillows were made.

Soon after in 2012, the “Eric & Christopher” brand was born.

Today, “Eric & Christopher” is a small but mighty team of talented artists, sewists, screen printers, and creative minds. Together, we design and produce thousands of pillows, totes, and tea towels each week — all thoughtfully created, art-driven, and proudly made by our team and curated artists!

*Fun fact – this company is in a 100-year-old sewing factory! These old brick walls once housed the hustle and bustle of men and women making military fatigues, serving the needs of the U.S. military.
