Kyle started printing when he was 15 years old, hand cutting stencils and using acrylic paint in his bedroom. Many years and alot of trial and error led to working at a local screen printing shop. After 2 years of running production, Kyle decided to try and make it on his own.

Kyle started Machine Gun Graphics, now Cotton Street Apparel in 2002 in Florida, running out of his bedroom with a 4 color press. He moved to Winston Salem in 2004. Purchased the first automatic in 2007, and moved into their current location. Kyle always stays up to date with new technologies and processes, and is always trying to grow as a printer.
