Proving Ground
Hello world, my name Jarrell Smith. I also go by the moniker "MrLopire", and I am the creator of Lopire Clothing Co /LopireCanvas. Created in Peoria, IL during the summer of 2006, Lopire initially consisted of solely hand-painted artwork onto shirt, but now, is set to become an established brand. From selling hand-painted tees from out of my car, to having them in a local store, to now re-launching new website, it's been such an experience in which I've gained much experience in honing my craft. But, even still, I feel the need to return back to proving ground and rededicate myself to my art. My purpose with this blog is to give a perspective on my journey with creating the Lopire brand, in addition to providing updates, news, and all content pertaining to Lopire. So please, subscribe to stay up-to-date with Lopire, and take a ride with me on this journey. -Jarrell "MrLopire" Smith Founder/ Artist Lopire Clothing Co.
