  • Colby’s 30th Birthday Art Book

    I (Colby) recently turned 30 and a bunch of my amazing friends and family got together and made me something that I will cherish until the end of time. Commissioned by Josh, 40 of my friends, family, and incredibly talented creators that I look up to, each made an art piece for me to celebrate my name day. They were then printed and our designer, Lea Loo, assembled all of them into a beautiful, hand-made book. I can’t thank everyone enough for this incredible gift and I wanted to share all of the awesomeness in side with you!

    Click through to see the art! (I kept the really personal ones out of this post).

    Friends and long-time inspiration of ours, MiresBall commissioned us to create an illustration for their annual holiday card. The theme for this year was “hope” and the quote featured inside the card from Buddha read, “Better than a thousand hollow words is one word that brings peace.” These letterpressed cards were given to clients, friends, and family alike. Check out MiresBall!
