Several of our paddleboard designs by Jeremy Kennedy are on display in this years lineup of inflatable and hardboards for Yoloboard. This year features some throwback designs that were made with pen and ink, watercolor and vector based graphics. It’s always fun to see your work on such a big canvas.

Some of my paddleboard designs and packaging designs for Yoloboard/YoloCoffee were featured in Beach Happy Magazine’s Spring 2021 issue in an article on our friend Jake Meyer of IWDFF. Jake’s been Yoloboard’s Creative Director for 13 years and he designs a lot of work for restaurants and businesses all along 30A/gulf coast area. I’ve known Jake probably around 20 years, but first worked together back in 2013 when he brought me in for hand drawn logos and the first of many board designs. In the years since, we’ve designed many best-selling boards for Yoloboard brand. So cool to see Jake’s other hard work featured along side some of my own. -Jeremy Kennedy

Onenation Coffee at Nascar

Limited Edition Tribute Packaging for OneNation Coffee

As first responders and Veterans the crew at OneNation Coffee wanted 9-12 blended roast as a tribute to first responders and patriotic Americans who all came together after 9-11-01. The special blend boasts a smooth full body taste of a medium-dark blend, but mixed from multiple roasts to make one united tribute blend.

AIGA #SPOT Showcase / TAD CARPENTER

Had a great Night out at the student SPOT Showcase event / Tad Carpenter talk at the Orange Studio. There was some great student work and really thought out displays that left everyone a little envious of the student's access to sweet stuff like laser cutters and CNC machines... Tad was good too, but we all knew that was going to be the case.

FULL SAIL UNIVERSITY DESIGN LECTURE

On June 8, 2011, I had the honor of speaking at Full Sail University as part of their DLXS (Design Lecture Experience Series).

To help promote the talk I created a 2-color silkscreen poster on chipboard which bore my likeness and eluded to the theme of the talk which was Make The Jump. In crafting the talk, I wanted to speak to two groups, art students who are stepping out for the first time and to more established artists and designers who want to be successful in their business.

It was a lot of fun sharing some helpful tips with the students as well as some of my work and experiences creating work for great clients all over the country. I got a lot of great emails and messages that my talk was one of the best DLXS yet. Students asked lots of questions during the Q&A portion of the talk which is a pretty good indicator that they were connecting with me or to the work I create. Several students also came down afterwards to have me review their portfolios and give them some advice.

Thanks to Peter, the Full Sail staff, and students for having me and to Mama’s Sauce for printing the posters.

CARE PACKAGE VZ STYLE

This week we received a small package from VZ that included some of their sweet new shades (the retro-style Fulton) and a wallet and the Scratchy tee we designed for them that are coming out very soon.
