The Local Howlie
Rod Warren, our founder & chief illustrator, actually began his drawing career
imitating Ed "Big Daddy" Roth’s style in high school and has been drawing
cartoons and cars
ever since then. Growing up in California, he immersed him-
self in the
surfing scene, bought all the Beach Boy records, and dreamed of going
to
Hawaii some day to see the big surf. A few years later, he lived his dream when
he went in the Army and was stationed on Oahu, where he was known by the
Hawaiian natives as "da local howlie" on the volleyball courts. The name kind
of stuck, so he decided to
use it for a business name, hence Local Howlie.
Studying graphic arts in college, he designed t-shirts on a freelance basis for
over 25 years and
taught classes in Cartooning for the past several years.
A highlight of his drawing career was when he became an editorial cartoonist for
a daily
newspaper in California for several years and had cartoons published in
“Best
Editorial Cartoons of the Year” from 1991-1994.
Starting his own t-shirt company has been a long time dream that finally came to
fruition in 2004 when he trademarked the name and got the ball rolling.



What's Now and What's Down the Road
In addition to the screen printed designs we offer, we can also print Your Car on a T-shirt
as well with direct to garment printing. It's perfect for someone who wants their own car
printed on a shirt and not something that looks kind of like it. We can print a photo of your
car, an illustration (see the samples on our website at www.yourcaronatshirt.com) or even
do a cartoony "monsterized" version with you driving it. We can also do car posters, and
car cards-with a photo of your car on one side and description on the back. It's business
card sized, uv coated, with rounded corners. A great hand out at the car shows for those
who want to know more about your pride and joy, or pass it out to other car enthusiasts as
a trading card. Find out more information about these great products by clicking the Your
Car On A T-shirt link above.


Da Beach is Coming
We have developed a marketing plan with two phases.
Our first phase is to present designs for car buffs nationwide and our second phase
is to present designs that are beach related.
Phase 1 has been in existence for the past five years, but more on a local level.
Now we're planning on taking our products nationwide. The second phase is planned
to kick off in 2013, so if you're in to surfing, volleyball, tikis, creatures of the deep blue sea,
and more...keep your eye on our site. We have some fun designs planned for you beach
buffs as well.




Links to Car Club Websites
We're always soliciting links to car club websites, so if you would like us to

add a link to your website, email: links@localhowlie.com and include your
web address and club logo. In return, we ask that you add a link on your web
site to ours in exchange.
Also keep in mind, if you need a design for your club or if you're sponsoring
a car show, let us do the design and get the shirts and screen printing at cost.
