barn jam, wed. oct.20

once again, every week, eddie white and the boys at awendaw green bring out the tunes. come this weds and enjoy.

my main man

here at gsgd i have been fortunate to have amazing employees throughout the years. my main man, senior designer (his title) mark lawrence, has been vectorizing, conceptualizing, drawing, hanging and havin fun over here for many years. recently mark came across a call for entries for the the knology/musc hollings cancer center 3rd annual 5k pajama run/walk. he decided to enter. being the smartest designer here, he came up with the brilliant idea of making posters out of pajama material with a tyvek sheet(just like runners attach to their shirts) pinned to the poster. mark screened the tyvek sheets and made 5 posters to enter. his intention was to produce 50 or so, all by hand. the costs was a minimal and probably equal to what it would cost to print posters. 5 to 8 different pajama pattern flannel material glued to a piece of chipboard. needless to say, he blew the mind of the folks responsible for judging the poster contest. they loved it but did not understand the process at all or how cool this promotion would be. needless to say, he didn't win. i think this idea is amazing and really cool, so i took some pics of the 5 he created and posted them here. enjoy.

equality baby equality

going up this week is the first of 3 billboards we created for affa. the alliance for full acceptance.
these guys are working hard to help people realize that even though we may all be different, we are all human and deserve to be treated that way. a great organization and i was truly proud to be asked to create this series. each billboard has a specific web link to inform and add some humor to this serious subject. our amazing friend and seriously talented writer, jenny badman, was a huge part of this. thanks jenny, for everything. anyway, the 3 boards will not be going up all at once, so stay tuned...

great weekend

glad to be back at it. here are 3 logos we just finished for the great folks at stevens towing company. we also created a tradeshow booth and some cool printed materials that go with it to help these guys keep transport big things. bos smith has been awesome to work with and you know how much i enjoy working on big heavy metal machinery jobs. these guys deal with giant --i mean giant (500-1000 ton stuff) things. the stevens transprot is for their ship, the coastal venture. so, real soon you will see that logo on the bow of this unique shipping vessel. keep moving the big stuff boys.
