Pross attended Roman Catholic High School and developed a love and passion for art and fashion while riding the El to and from school.

Pross enrolled in the Art Institute of Philadelphia and was immediately recruited by Miskeen Clothing to help with its upcoming brand. Shortly after, he completed designs that were showcased in music videos for Method Man, Beyonce and The Game.

In 2007, Pross launched his own brand, and his designs could be found on magazine covers and on famous musicians and artists, including Soulja Boy.

In 2010, Pross opened the Art History 101 storefront, and celebrated the 10th anniversary of the opening by releasing a new T-shirt design, “Straight Outta Northeast Philly.”

Pross’ designs are shipped worldwide. ••
