ARTIST BIO:

Krissy Teegerstrom is a self-taught artist who lives in Austin. In 2017, she returned to her native state of Texas after living in New York City and the Bay Area.

Drawing inspiration through her intuition, faith in the unseen, and a connection to the natural world, Krissy creates by hand with pencil, paper, paint, thread and fabric, sewing on her 1948 Singer Featherweight sewing machine. She is dedicated to sustainability, utilizing secondhand materials in the majority of her work. Her artwork includes murals, collage, drawings and sculpture. Her design work, under the name Featherweight Studio, focuses primarily on clothing. Clients and collaborators include Eddie Vedder, Phoebe Bridgers, X, Heritage Boot, Tellason Denim and Wrong Marfa.

I like the look of things touched by the human hand: imperfect & soulful. I design by hand with pencil, paper, ink, thread and fabric, using collage, painting, embroidery, and sewing with my 1948 Singer Featherweight sewing machine. I have a passion for upcycling & using secondhand materials; the constraints inspire me creatively and it's aligned with my love for this earth we live on. I’m inspired by early 20th century craft and quality, and the uniqueness of personal style.

FEATHERWEIGHT STUDIO

I started Featherweight Clothing Co. in the summer of 2012. My first T-shirt design & first two poster designs were sold by Urban Outfitters.  My snake T-shirt design was worn by Eddie Vedder on the cover of Billboard Magazine.

My designs have been sold at some fantastic boutiques like Cobra Rock Boot Company, Wrong Marfa, The End - Yucca Valley, Atomic Garden - Oakland, and events including West Coast Craft, Oakland First Fridays, Virgil Normal, Machina Arts Fest & others. My original sweatshirts are produced (cut, sewn & dyed) entirely in California from fabric made in LA.

I have designed for bands & brands including Phoebe Bridgers, X, The Flesh Eaters, John Doe, Heritage Boot, Tellason Denim, Cobra Rock Boot Company, Wrong Marfa.
