Texas-native Chris Brown built his narrative from the ground up. Creating countless homemade zines both inspired by and rebelling against the glossy magazines of his childhood, Brown was enamored by the freewheeling ethos of the 1960s and 70s. Paving his own way as a self-taught graphic designer, his journey as a designer, curator, and artist reflected elements of a proud, singularly American tradition - and one that deserved documentation. In 2008, he created Refueled Magazine, a testament to the legacy of American craftsmanship, ingenuity, and bravado.
