Marc Murphy

Owner, Bombardment Co.

Philadelphia, PA

“Bombardment is a mental acid trip.  It’s for the good, the bad and the different.”

The notorious logo of lightning striking through a brain has caught our eye all across the city.  So, what is it?

 Frankly, it’s called a brain f*ck.  And Marc Murphy, the mind behind Bombardment Co., harnesses this concept in each design he creates.

“Think of it as mini lighting bolts that jolt you when you have chaos, or a world of imagination.  Bombardment is a mental acid trip.  It’s for the good, the bad and the different.”

10 years ago, Marc started screen printing his own shirts, simply because he was tired of seeing the same brands everywhere, and wanted to stand out.  In the past few years, Bombardment has gained popularity all over Philadelphia, and is now hitting new cities and even a few new countries. 

So, we have a brain f*ck…but where did the name Bombardment came from?   Marc says it's directly inspired by Coach Krupt of The Simpsons, the new gym teacher who is obsessed with the game Bombardment, and plays it relentlessly, which makes us wonder...what inspires the designs themselves?

 “A lot of things inspire me; clothing, the art I make, the art I see, music, movies, comedians, food, colors, people’s acid trips to people’s war stories. 

 Bombardment Co. has really become less about me and more about the people who forever have a need to push boundaries.”
