"Opening Guerrilla Graphix Taos was one of the best decisions we've made" says owner Travis Parkin.
Guerrilla Graphix is a privately owned, employee-profit-sharing business based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We design and sell products that address, reflect and reference a wide range of topics including politics, history, art and culture. Among our products are designs that use the Zia sun symbol and other Native American imagery.
The Zia sun symbol and name are synonymous with New Mexico. The symbol appears on the state flag, on NM license plates and many businesses and clubs use the word "Zia" in their names. It is also a sacred symbol for the people of Zia Pueblo.
A customer recently brought to our attention a 2015 report prepared by the NM Department of Cultural Affairs regarding who has a right to use the Zia sun symbol (click here). The report states that anyone can use the symbol and there is no legal requirement to give notice or make payment to Zia Pueblo. The report points out, however, that the absence of a legal requirement does not preclude the showing of respect. After contemplation of this report, Guerrilla Graphix owner Travis Parkin has decided to start making voluntary donations to the Zia Pueblo Scholarship Fund with profits arising from sales of products with the Zia sun symbol.
So far this year Guerrilla Graphix has also paid more than $1000 in charitable donations to the Oo-oo-nah children’s art program at Taos Pueblo (based on a percentage of the sale of our Disobey T-shirts) and to the Standing Rock Legal Defense Fund (based on the sale of Standing Rock shirts designed by staff artist April Yazza).

Guerrilla Graphix is an equal-opportunity employer with a generous employee profit sharing program. Starting pay during training is $12 per hour and moves to $13, plus profit share after completion of training (two or three weeks). Our designers receive a monthly profit share which is calculated by computing 5% of their monthly billings for graphic design, print and screen print jobs. Depending on the time of year and volume of business, our designers average between $300 and $700 per month in profit sharing compensation. Our Albuquerque designers also receive free lunch from Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s every day, as well as free snacks and beverages.
Our graphic designers typically spend about 40-50% of their time on design projects, including logos, screen printing graphics, advertising pieces, business cards and brochures. Other duties include project intake, credit card processing, invoice preparation, pre-press file construction for full-color printing and custom screen printing, daily cash reconciliation, design project management and customer communications via phone, e-mail and text.
