“The South Illustrated” 2013 calendar was designed exclusively for Garden & Gun for our sister company Sideshow Press. Each calendar page is hand pressed on our pony-sized 1926 letterpress. We illustrated each month with a drawing of a southern staple and paired it with a quote by a southern author. The monthly cards are displayed on a wood veneer mounting plaque with a leather strap for hanging. Each calendar set comes packaged in a burlap bag sewn with a letterpress tag.

Home Team BBQ
September 20, 2012
We have been working with Home Team BBQ for many years now. Recently, we updated their brand that we originally designed for them back in 2006. We kept the core elements of their brand, infused some new elements and expanded their logo family. With two locations and a cult following, we designed a few more elements that they could use on everything from menus to sauce packaging to merchandise. You can see some of that new branding at work on the sauce packaging we just completed for them. Read the rest of this entry »

The first step was to invite a group of influential Charlestonians to become the founding members. Each of the newest members will receive a hand delivered invitation to the club, complete with a printed towel and map to the property all neatly packaged with a feathered shuttlecock.
