Choonimal Clothing Co.’s unique designs first appeared as silly sketches in high school notebooks. A few years later, the deranged animals migrated to T-shirts, and in 2007 the company officially launched in Columbus, Ohio. Now based in Brooklyn, New York, the brand is growing exponentially, swapping small pop-up stands at local festivals for cross-country tours and a large social media presence. This summer, they’re taking an even bigger leap: As the official art sponsor of the 2015 Vans Warped Tour, Choonimals designs will cover stages from coast to coast – as well as the storefronts of Journeys clothing stores. In their next act, Choonimals hopes to become a household name.
