Best Place to Find Merch by Local Artists
Everything Ellum
by The Dallas Observer | September 17, 2024
In the age of AI-generated art and the gig economy, there’s never been a more crucial time to support local artists. Deep Ellum retailer Everything Ellum has been making space for such artists since 2021. The “wearable art” they have for sale (shirts, stickers, accessories and more) is emblazoned with the work of established and up-and-coming Dallas artists and is handmade locally, providing an ideal and ethical alternative to mass-produced graphic tees.

Everything Ellum has made itself at home in the heart of Deep Ellum since arriving in 2021. The all-black store is adorned with several vibrant graphic posters, merchandise pieces and mini murals. Their unique store front features various forms of “wearable artwork” that’s been created and handmade by local artists. T-shirts, hats and stickers are just a few of the items you can thumb-through in the store.
Since February of 2023, Everything Ellum has been hosting In-Store Artist Pop Ups. This practice of hosting artists and their work is an extension of their goal to become a “one-stop-shop” for established and emerging apparel-based artists. …read more.
Chris Lewellyn Won’t Give Up on Deep Ellum. His Latest Venture Proves It.
Store owner is bullish on the neighborhood’s future for his retail shop.
By Tyler Hicks | April 18, 2024
There was a time, a few months ago, when Chris Lewellyn thought he might lose his store. Everything Ellum, an apparel store for local artists and brands, had found success after opening on Deep Ellum’s Main Street in late 2021, but roughly two years later, it was at a breaking point. The revenue from Lewellyn’s Print Shop on Elm Street is currently being used to pay for everything on sale in Everything Ellum, which means when one of the businesses struggles, so does the other.
“I was in a really heavy spot where I had these loans that were kind of just eating me alive,” he says. “It was probably three weeks before I ran out of money.”…read more.
Graphic Content: The Artists Designing Dallas’ Rock Aesthetic
These Dallas graphic artists make music for your eyes.

At the Hawn Gallery in the Hamon Arts Library at Southern Methodist University, iconic objects fill floor-to-ceiling glass vitrines to the brim. But it’s not rare books or illustrious manuscripts that are on display.
Instead, cases are overstuffed with glossy posters, collectible buttons and faded flyers from concerts held decades ago, all the ephemera of a life spent loving — and watching — an era of influential music. Torn Apart: New Wave Graphics, Fashion & Culture 1976–1986 is a glimpse into how music is translated visually throughout time.
