About Phantom Chicken
Phantom Chicken is a small, manual screen printing studio run by Gregg and Gail Weiss in Portland, Oregon.
What's up with The Chicken anyway?In 1997 these two low-key eccentrics met in the most unlikely, yet typical way — shooting pool in a local dive bar. Gregg brought to the table his BFA in screen printing and seven years of print brokering in New York City, plus three fresh years of solo screenprinting in his basement studio here in Portland.
Gail possessed a latent, hidden artistic talent that Gregg could sniff out and brought to the surface. Exposed to a new world of digitally generated design, Gail flourished creatively and was able to quit her last 'real' job in 2000, while on her way to becoming Gregg's prepress guru (and wife).
From 1995 to the present, Gregg has honed his craft of manual screen printing to razor sharpness, all the while building his forearms, and in tandem with Gail they stand poised and ready for heavy exploitation.
