Clean Hands clothing store, located in the heart of Tulsa’s Pearl District, offers customers original print designs on a variety of apparel and posters.

TU student Natalie Crise paid $.50
and got an original Clean Hands pin
from the gum-ball machine.

Tulsa natives and co-founders, Aaron Wisner and Justin Baney, originally opened their Pearl District site solely as an art studio to create designs.  Since 2008, their company has been setting up temporary print locations to showcase Clean Hand’s work.

Screen printing became an online adventure when they launched www.cleanhandsarmy.com to take online art orders.  Customers could stop apparel and design their own print from a selection of original artwork.  

In 2013, the pair built a store at the front of the studio to house their full line of apparel and posters.  The storefront has since grown to include spray pain, markers, printing items, fine art records, and books.

All of the Clean Hand’s prints are hand pulled and uniquely produced by a team of artists.

You can find additional Clean Hand’s artwork throughout the streets of Tulsa on murals.  The “This Land it Our Land Mural” was one of several murals designed with a purpose of was to developing the public artist movement in Tulsa.  Their goal was to enhance and bring life to areas with paint.

In the future, Clean Hand’s hopes to widen Tulsa’s creative culture by influencing the next generation of kids to become interested in printing and graffiti.
