ⓘ About Rob Reger
Rob Reger is an author and artist best known for creating the character of Emily the Strange. Reger’s friend Nathan Carrico designed the character of Emily in 1991 for a skateboard company in Santa Cruz. This is where Cosmic Debris was born. In his Santa Cruz garage and later an artist warehouse in San Francisco, Reger came up with these designs. With Matt Reed, Reger was able to bring the designs of Emily the Strange into the fashion world by creating t-shirt designs that were able to capture the essence of this mysterious young girl with four black cats. Ever since then, Cosmic Debris has grown into a multi-million dollar firm with dozens of employees. Cosmic Debris has moved its operations to Berkeley, California. They also plan to open an Emily retail store there.
