Elite Gudz was founded in 2008 under the vision of graffiti artist Phetus. Working under his Phat Phace logo since 1988, Phetus' presence on the Long Island graffiti scene was solidified in 2003 with the opening o Concrete Vibes, the first graffiti boutique on Long Island. Phetus closed Concrete Vibes to concentrate on the Phetus Exclusives clothing line, and combine efforts with Elite Gudz. At Elite Gudz he produced fine art for shows, apparel under the Phetus Exclusives label, and work for various clients including ICONIC Motors. In Fall 2010, Phetus presented Hank Steinbrenner with a Phetus Exclusive on the field of Yankee Stadium. The Hanks Yank's jersey featured a Yankees logo, freshly spray-painted with stylized drip markings.
By 2010, Elite Gudz grew to include sculptor Mr Den, lead illustrator Rolo Ledesma, artistic director Narek Gevorgian and creative director Brian Ferrara. With talent from the worlds of graffiti, illustration, graphic design and technology, Elite Gudz issued its first entertainment application, Graffiti Spray Can. The success of Graffiti Spray Can lead the company to focus on game and app design. To date Elite Gudz has released 15 iOS applications, with over 5 million total downloads. Their first game, Techno Kitten Adventure, was released on June 7, 2011. After posting a Techno Kitten Adventure promotional video on their blog, G4TV tweeted that "Techno Kitten Adventure will be the next runaway hit. Mark our words.".
