Enjoyed teaming up with Louie’s Kids again, this time on the poster for their 2010 Yoga Marathon…

Want to join hundreds of other devoted yogi’s for an afternoon of down dogs, headstands or mountain poses in one of Charleston, South Carolina’s most historic parks all the while raising money for a children’s charity? The Yoga Marathon benefiting Louie’s Kids is readying for their 7^th year as the region’s most popular yoga event.

The finished prints are 2 colors, screenprinted on 100 lb. natural stock, trimmed to 18″ x 24″. For more information on the upcoming flexibile festivities, click here.

Just finished a batch of limited edition silkscreened posters and t-shirts for this year’s Charleston Peace One Day Festival. The prints are all signed & numbered, 18″ x 24″ with blue, brown, and metallic copper inks on 100 lb. natural stock. As usual, a big thanks to The Half and Half for a spot-on printing job. The shirts are 2-color on American Apparel t’s. All will be for sale tomorrow night (Wednesday, September 1st) from 7-10 pm at Mellow Mushroom in downtown Charleston as part of CP1D’s inaugural PeaceMob rally, along with 15% of Mellow Mushroom’s sales also being donated to the cause. So stop by, drop some coin, and feel good about yourself.

Just finished this illustration for a project the College of Charleston’s putting together to welcome incoming students. The final image being sent to press actually has a lot more goin’ on (a city skyline, trees, road signs, etc), but there’s something soothing about looking back, removing all those elements, and leaving only the open road.

Did I just unknowingly drop some sort of poignant, metaphorical commentary on life? Maybe, maybe not.

Was excited to get word today that several J Fletcher Design projects will be featured in Ooogo’s latest volume of Brand! alongside international industry heavyweights such as Duffy & Partners and Landor…

This weekend J Fletcher Design moves into its new location – across town to greener pastures with central air and client seating that doesn’t involve the words “tall,” “grande,” or “venti.” Stay tuned for bigger and better things…

I’ve got a buddy up in New York who refuses to let this one die.

One of the first design awards (and clearly I’m using that term loosely) I ever received was a South Carolina Press Association award for this beast, assembled seven years ago during my time at The Post and Courier. What do you get when you masterfully Photoshop a delicious sandwich into a photo of a submarine preparing to dive, and then top the whole thing off with brilliant typography? A heaping help of sarcasm, for one thing, but you also get a plaque to hang on your wall and an inside joke that’ll follow you to the grave. No matter what career milestone I hit or what honor I manage to take home, in the eyes of my pals I can’t ever top “Subs To Sink Your Hunger.”

This one’s for you, Kyle.

Just got word from design book publishing giant Rockport that the United Infrastructure Group logo is to be included in the next edition of their Master Library series, “Shapes and Symbols,” due out next year. Thanks to Rockport and thanks & congratulations to UIG.

The Half and Half were bumpin’ around Charleston yesterday and stopped by for a visit, some prints and a sweet little gift in hand – a Pecha Kucha 4 poster converted into a box of notecards. Totally rad. Hit them up for all your screen printing needs.

Was excited to receive word that I had a logo selected for inclusion in the 2010 Communication Arts Design Annual.

“The most prestigious competition for creativity in graphic design. Since 1959, Communication Arts has published the best in visual communications from around the world. To find the best work, CA sponsors creative competitions that recognize the finest talent in the industry. Winners are selected by juries of their peers and published in our must-have annuals.”

The GreenlitScripts logo will be showcased in CA’s 51st book, out this November.

The Digitel came knockin’ last week and we talked shop for a while – how I work, where I work, and what the future might hold. Big thanks to them for the fun interview and great write-up. Give it a look here. I’m proud to be one of Charleston’s creative neighbors. The Digitel is also hosting a J Fletcher Design “type tee” giveaway, so click here for your chance at a freebie.
