New Packaging for Yolo Coffee

In 2020, we were excited to tag team with IWDFF on Yolo Coffee’s new coffee bags. We used vintage travel posters and gulf coast sunrises as the main inspiration. Then, we focused on a classic Toyota Landcruiser decked out in Yoloboards surrounded by palm trees specific to the 30a area of the northern Florida Gulf coast.

Instead of different bags for each of the different roasts we decided on a label system to delineate the alternate roasts so that they each bag would feature the same artwork. Jake came up with the label while we focused on making the sweet land cruiser and adding other fun 30a details and a painterly touch. The three roasts they’re making right now are the SUP blend, the Sonder Blend and a Tanzanian Roast.

On the back of the bags I thought it would be fun to feature the owner of Yoloboard who has a huge passion for coffee. He’s seen below padding with his favorite pup Flea.

In addition to the illustration we were able to create a fun lockup of Yolo’s tagline “You only live once” in our signature hand drawn style with their yolo coffee man. We added it on the sides of the bags and they also used it on their website yolocoffee.com.

Serenity for Yoloboard

The Serenity is a pattern rich yoga & sealife-lotus-loving hand-drawn board. One of the coolest features is the subtle patterned stain look we've been wanting to do with them since about 2014... finally got the manufacturing there. Enjoy.

The Polynesian for Yoloboard

The Polynesian board is this year's tattoo-inspired offering. Again, we were finally able to get the transparent stain/ink look we've been wanting to do for the last few years.

Turtle Bay for Yoloboard

The Turtle Bay design is a water colored take on the yearly turtles we've been doing for Yolo. Always love a chance to do some drippy and trippy art. These design files were so large that nearly broke all the studio's computers to get it right. The end result was definitely worth the headaches. The board also features our hand-drawn logos and taglines.

SHIRTS THAT HELP

We recently created Going Coastal, a fun beach-themed tee for New York-based clothing company YOU&WHO. You & Who sells designer tees to help worthy causes in cities across the country. Every time they sell a shirt, they help clothe someone in need. Sales of our tees go to help a cause in our city, the Orlando Covenant House.

If you dig the tee, get your own for a cool $30 and help someone at Covenant house as a bonus.

BRANDON MCLEAN SHOW

We've been swamped here in the studio, but wanted to show you some images to recap our friend Brandon McLean's solo show, Between You & Me, that opened at the Neon Forest Gallery on Sept 25. It was a great show featuring some cool installation work like a fishing tent that led across the space to a photo that inspired it all. Brandon also added old wood paneling and a wooden entrance to the gallery tie the physical gallery space into his works.

We enjoyed the show and hope these images give you a good sampling.
