Back in 2022, I collaborated on a t-shirt with Surge Screenprinting and Embroidery, which was featured in the Richmond Register newspaper (you can read more about that here.) In the two years since, Surge has asked me to design a few more shirts for their Small Batch collection, so I wanted to share those here as well. This has been such a fun series, and I love highlighting small businesses in my local community.
My custom illustration highlighting all the goodness at Purdy's Coffee was used on both a t-shirt and a tote bag.
Dreaming Creek Brewery is named for an old Daniel Boone legend, so I combined hops with the black bear that brought Boone to the creek to create "Hoppy the Bear."
