How did it start?

At the age of 13 keith lodge did his first art design for a company in northwood n.h. who was selling printed apparel for northwood lake. the design was a cartoon drawing of 2 men in a canoe with a lochness style monster attacking them that would be printed on hats. although it would be years before he did another design he never forgot how much fun it was to see his art printed on a hat.

Then in the fall of 2000 at the age of 29 keith began designing ideas for screen printed clothing on a computer built by his uncle in '99. At the time the only program he was using was ms word and powerpoint, so as you can imagine the designs were pretty basic. not long after a friend introduced him to Adobe Illustrator he began having some of his designs printed which he sold to friends and family.

In 2004 he bought a basic 4 color press which by research and trial and error learned to do his own screen printing. After doing this for about 1 year from home the opportunity became available to get a retail space and print full time. Now Illegal clothing is going on it's third year as a printing company and is expanding it's customer base every day. In the past year alone (2006-2007) we have increased business by 40%. now illegal clothing prints sports, casual and business. We've added more equipment and are now able to do athletic numering as well as vinyl graphics for vehicles, signs or whatever.

Oh and as far as the business name, like most of his ideas it just came to him one day when he first decided to make a business out of the t-shirt printing thing and it doesn't really mean anything, other than...

"if it's fun it's probably illegal!!!"
