Houston, TX — Est. 2022

Marco Ochoa

An independent design studio working in alternative and streetwear graphics — apparel art, brand identity, and merch built for labels that aren't afraid of the dark.

The Studio

Built in the dark,
one print at a time.

Pillars of Doom started in 2022 as a freelance art project and grew into a full graphic design studio and clothing brand by 2024 — still run as a one-person operation.

Every piece runs through the same hands: concept, illustration, print-ready files, and production coordination. That means client work arrives cohesive, on-brand, and ready for press — with a direct line to the person who made it.
