St. Thomas day, St. Thomas gray,
The longest night and shortest day.
The Feast Day of Saint Thomas the Apostle was traditionally celebrated on December 21, the Winter Solstice. In Central America, the Fiesta de Santo Tomás is celebrated much as they do in Europe, with the ringing of hand bells, fireworks and parades.¹ Additionally an adaptation of the ancient Mayan flying pole dance, Danza de los Voladores, is also performed.

You want to work with us. You reach out. Then we speak for the first time. In this call you’ll share with me your desire for building a brand and reasons for wanting a new website designed. My interest is piqued. I’m taking copious notes. And respond with the questions: “How do you want to feel?” and “How do you want to work?”

I am not really sure what inspired me to do so, but last week I set up a business Pinterest page. I created a few boards by categorizing examples from our portfolio. Easy stuff. You can check it out here. But first, stick with me a bit longer because this post isn’t about that.

Contrary to what you might think, being in art school doesn’t mean you are immune from pulling all-nighters. This right-of-passage isn’t only for the Bunsen Burner set. Eighteen-year-olds are eighteen-year-olds, regardless of major. I know this firsthand. Freshman Foundation was intense at the Bauhaus-inspired program I attended. Creating objects based on functionalism and simplicity is rigorous stuff. Yes, for real.

Who? Shannon Lowrey — Producer
Why are we in Shannon’s bag? I’ve been archiving this month, looking back at our portfolio of work recently, and revisited one of our most favorite websites designed. It is no wonder we created it with/for one of our most favorite people. I already waxed poetic on Shannon here, and invite you to learn more about a gal who mixes exceptional taste with an approachable ease.
Join us for Show & Tell!

It’s plain ‘ol foolish to claim ‘print is dead’ especially with the interest in letterpress so pervasive—and coveted. (And who doesn’t love a great book cover?) There is no better way to elicit an audible gasp, than passing a business card, on heavy weight stock, sculpted with an imprint. Add painted edges and they’re smitten.
Green with envy kinda lust.

Camille and I were recently introduced by our mutual friend and collaborator, the most adorable Chelsea Fullerton.

The studio is in major creation mode these days, not only for our clients but for ourselves. Final products, the design-stuffs that fills our portfolio and blog posts, is not where we are at. But things are a brewing, including the creation of a mini-documentary about Viewers Like You.
