Big Bang Customs was started in 1998 by Husband and Wife Alan & Kenitha Proctor. After spending several years in the industry they decided it was time to give the textile community what it sorely lacked, a screen printing & embroidery operation that schedules properly, offers exceptional quality, and meets deadlines every time. This business was built around the simple belief that hard work and treating customers right will lead to success.
Big Bang Customs' constant strive to be at the forefront of the industry has lead them to purchase the best equipment the industry has to offer. All of the equipment used in our screen printing facility is manufactured by Brown. They are the industry leader in textile printing equipment and that’s what our customers deserve.
Our shop includes one 8 head Brown Manual press which delivers very detailed, consistent, high quality prints. With this machine we can easily print over 1,000 garments a day.
What good is a print if it comes off in the wash? Our 20ft Brown Radicure Dryer ensures all ink is cured to stay on the garment for years to come.
We’ve handpicked our favorite inks from industry leading manufacturers One Stroke & Textile.
Not only do we use the best equipment, we only employee industry professionals. Our staff has the experience and the desire to give you a product that you can be proud of.
We’ve made it our mission to provide our customers with a great product at a fair price and delivered on time. We’re truly passionate about what we do. Trust us with your business and you won’t be disappointed!

Blake Snyder Eames is a professional artist who has exhibited her work in multiple venues for more than 20 years. Her paintings, design, murals and furniture pieces can be found in homes, businesses and collections across the country. Her style is pop art infused and art deco inspired resulting in vibrant patterns that inspire the senses and soothe the mind’s desire for structure. Well known for her bold, geometric paintings, Eames is also the owner of Blake Eames Design, an independent enterprise specializing in commercial and residential interior design and furniture redesign. Her art and design studio are housed in a refurbished gas station on Old Vine Street in downtown Lexington.
In her art, Eames strives for a graphic perfection, by lining textural dots of paint interwoven with bursts of color that create angles for the eye to follow, generating movement that integrates all levels of the composition. Inter- visible objects, or those that share a direct line of sight with one another, propel the viewer in new directions and draw him/her in more deeply, where the visceral appeal to the eye becomes a mental investigation of process. Eames’s pristine hand fabrication conveys the artistic energy of the pieces, sometimes amplified and sometimes subdued, but always evolving and progressing into it’s final form. Color as subject is also a product of mood and further inspires the viewer to see what can be, to evaluate the environment in a new way, and to delight in the unexpected. Eames is a lifelong resident of Lexington, Kentucky, where she lives with her musician husband, Willie Eames and their two children in a century-old restored house downtown.
