Hugo Pineda

Is widely considered the premier tie-dye artist on the scene today. With each wring and fold, he continues to develop the infinite possibilities of the art of tie-dye. Whether it’s a tapestry or a t-shirt, each Hugo is a unique creation, a work of art.

Hugo began creating tie-dyes as a teenager in the late ‘60s.  He started out like anyone else, with a bucket and a box of RIT dye. An early and enthusiastic Deadhead, by the ‘80s he was supporting his show habit by selling tie-dyes on Grateful Dead tours. When people began to seek him out for his t-shirts and tapestries, he decided to create tie-dyes full-time.
