About Atomic Madhouse

Atomic Madhouse is a t-shirt and apparel design company formed by artist Frank Forte and writer Elizabeth J. Musgrave that is dedicated to developing “hip t-shirts your mother wouldn’t let you wear.”  Located in Los Angeles, CA, the hub of the fashion industry, Atomic Madhouse is poised to make their mark on the couture battleground.

“We are excited about our new designs and think they appeal to a select audience.  My inspiration comes from 1950s design, Silver age comic books, animation, and punk rock posters.  I am incorporating all of my artistic background into t-shirts that I would want to wear,” says Frank.  “Elizabeth is coming up with some great slogans and catchphrases that capture the ‘now’ moments.  I take that and use a cool font, break it up, and make it look faded with a retro feel. At that point, the design part is over.  Then Elizabeth and I decide on color.  What comes out is a true collaboration."
