Step right up to Hellzapoppin Trading Co., where circus artists and screen printing collide!
Wait, Hellza-what?!! Don't let our name scare you; we're not summoning demons, just designs! Born from the legacy of the world-famous Hellzapoppin Circus SideShow, as detailed on hellzapoppin.com, this family operation infuses screen printing with the daring and unconventional spirit of the circus. Hellzapoppin was Broadway's biggest hit in the 1930s-40s and later became a classic movie featuring Ole Oleson, Chick Johnson, and Shemp Howard from the Three Stooges. Jerry Lewis revived it in the '70s, but it's Old Town, Florida residents Bryce "the Govna" Graves and Brittany 'Willow Lauren' Shaara who now holds the Registered Trademark and have taken this show global, selling countless merchandise and captivating audiences in over 16 countries with more than 3,000 performances. They've even made it into the Ripley's Believe It Or Not book, 'Level Up'.
Bryce Graves, known as "The Govna," is the visionary and producer behind both Hellzapoppin Circus Sideshow and Hellzapoppin Trading Co. His journey from managing rock bands to creating a global circus spectacle is well-documented. Bryce has a profound understanding of business management and social media advertising, having managed the circus's digital presence with significant success. His broad experience from years of touring and business management is pivotal in crafting HTC's infrastructure, marketing strategy and ensuring the brand's story captivates its clients as effectively as his circus shows.
Brittany "Willow Lauren" Shaara, is not just Bryce's life partner but a dynamic entrepreneur at Hellzapoppin Trading Co., where she serves as Co-Creator, CFO, and Sales Director. A former pageant queen, motorcycle stunt rider, and circus performer, Brittany brings a daring, innovative approach to HTC. Her profile on hellzapoppin.com showcases her diverse talents as co-producer, stunt performer, and illusionist, while also managing the show's merchandise, demonstrating her business savvy. Certified as a fitness trainer and one of about 40 female sword swallowers globally, Brittany transitioned into business management. HTC capitalizes on her charismatic stage presence to enhance sales and develop financial strategies. As a local icon crowned Miss Trenton and Miss Bell, she collaborates with Bryce "the Govna" Graves to turn Dixie County's newest screen printing shop into a canvas for the extraordinary.
Mathew Ortiz, known in the industry as "The Serigrapher," has honed his craft over 13 years, establishing himself as a seasoned screen-printing artist. Mathew is an expert in HTC's M&R equipment. His reputation is built on an acute eye for detail, ensuring that every piece he works on meets high standards of quality and artistry.

His expertise enables him to handle complex designs with precision, from setup to the final print, making him a valuable asset in creating custom apparel, fine art prints, or any screen-printed product where quality and innovation are paramount.
