We had the great pleasure of working once again with Starflyer 59 on their thirteenth full-length album, IAMACEO. As always, working with Jason Martin was an extremely creative and enjoyable experience... and needless to say, the album itself is stellar, so do yourself a favor and pre-order a copy (vinyl & digital download) NOW!

The Holidays! Drawing! Toys! Cars! Dogs! Flying goats! Some of our very favorite things are all wrapped up in our latest Gift Card for Target, Bullseye's Draw & Go. Unfold the map, flip the switch and watch Bullseye cruise along! Or better yet, turn the map over and draw your own track (using the complimentary marker) - Bullseye follows along the path you've created! Pretty cool, right? To see him in action, check out our latest Unboxing episode, embedded above. Extra special thanks to Ted Halbur, Brian Holt, Brian Bennett and Kelly Gray at inHouse for the amazingly fun project. Grab one (or ten) here.
Our friend, photographer John Keatley recently commissioned us to create a poster for his upcoming (and aptly titled) Un-Workshop. John is known for thinking outside the box with his high-concept and innovative portraits - so we thought it'd be fun to envision just what is going on inside his head on any given day. Unfortunately you'll need to wait until Feb. 2nd and 3rd to actually find out (sign up here!), but in the meantime we can all just imagine it looks a little something like this. Limited edition, signed and numbered 5 color silk-screened posters printed on French Muscletone available at the workshop. Go!
Congrats to Kendrick Lamar on the success of his epic new LP 'good kid, m.A.A.d city', out now. We worked closely with Kendrick to bring to life his vision for the album art. In stores and on iTunes now.
This past summer, our good friends at Vulcan Real Estate commissioned us to create one of the biggest jobs we've worked on to date - literally: A 100' x 30' mural that faces one of their new Amazon.com buildings in the ever-growing 'city-within-a-city', South Lake Union. Home to Amazon HQ, fine dining, upscale living & shopping, South Lake Union is full of life, culture and color. Our job was to reflect that with a vibrant and whimsical take on what 'building a city' could look like.
This project presented a fun challenge: Taking digital art, scaling it way up and painting it traditionally without compromising quality and its original style/intent. Finding the perfect partner to bridge the gap was important to us. To do that, we teamed up with artist (and mural pro) Don Rockwell and Foley Sign Company, which has served the Pacific Northwest sign industry for over 85 years. A huge thanks to Don, Mark Metcalf and the team at Foley for bringing our creation to life.
The process between IC and Foley was so fascinating to us, we had to document it. 'Keys To The City: The Making Of A Mural' is embedded above for your viewing pleasure. Special thanks to Alex Goose and Jake Troth for supplying the instrumental version of their amazing song 'Alexandra'.
But c'mon ... this is just the internet. See it in person on Thomas street between Boren and Terry. More specifically, here.
And of course, none of this would have happened without Josh Lackey and Vulcan. Thank you. We can't wait for the next one.
We recently had the opportunity to work with some friends to create a brand for their newest endeavor, Animal Media Group. One of their first projects is an incredibly moving documentary called Blood Brother, which they were gracious enough to share with us, and had me choking back tears for nearly 90 minutes straight. Watch the newest trailer (below) and look for the film in theaters soon. Bring some tissue.
Look up! We had the pleasure of working with Jon Erickson and the 
Last year we had the pleasure of helping our friends at Chipotle launch their first-annual Cultivate Festival. Bringing together food, farmers, chefs, artisans, thought leaders and musicians from around the globe, the festival was a resounding success. So, naturally we were thrilled when they asked us to come back this year. Our mission? To create a fresh and fitting sequel that continued the Cultivate brand we established in 2011.
This year it's twice the fun with Cultivate happening in Chicago on September 15th and Denver on October 6th. See you there!
What is Cultivate?
Here's the cover we created for the new Anchor & Braille album, The Quiet Life. A&B is the side-project of Anberlin's Stephen Christian. Always nice to work with good people. Check out the video for "Find Me" here.
Josh Lackey and our friends at Vulcan commissioned us to create a poster for their 2012 South Lake Union Block Party happening on August 10th. Printed on uncoated stock and available in the shop now. See you there!
Here's our cover for Lecrae's much-anticipated new album Gravity. We've been fans of what Reach Records has been doing for years - so we're pretty excited to be part of this record. And Church Clothes has been on repeat in the studio since it dropped.
Here's the cover we recently completed for the upcoming Abandoned Pools record, Sublime Currency. The record itself is truly phenomenal and it was a great pleasure to work with such nice people. You HAVE to pick this record up on August 28th.
We look back to tradition, to an artifact that people have used to rally around triumphs and victories: the felt pennant. Crafted by folks who've helped shape the tradition since the early 1900s, our pennants are hand-printed and hand-sewn in the U.S.A. Collect the pennants, and show some team spirit for the small things in life. - The People's Pennant
These guys are doing some pretty cool things. Not only are they resurrecting the art and craft of the felt pennant (and aiming at a new audience), they are also causing us to fondly remember those days of hitting the ballpark with dad and picking out that perfect pennant to hang alongside our poster of this guy.
Inspired by Grandpa and his life at NASA, our goal with Blast Off! was to capture that fun and youthful spirit for all ages. Thanks to Tim, Jessica and Eric for asking us. And needless to say, we're honored to be featured alongside some pretty talented peeps.
Pre-Order and read about the inspiration for Blast Off! Use the code "Creature" and receive 25% off during the first week! And yes, we definitely had a few of these.

We're excited to announce 'Unboxing', a new video series where we open, unpack and showcase the latest products we've worked on. First up: Our Hexapillar Gift Card for Target, another fun project from the creative folks at inHouse. We had loads 'o fun creating Hexapillar and as you can tell, the metamorphosis was successful.
Stay tuned for Episode 2!
We had a blast illustrating the cover and interior spread for Parade Magazine's Road Food issue last Sunday. Big thanks to our A.D. Richard Baker for the fun project.

If you have a son between the ages of 4 and 10, you probably know all about Hexbug. We've had the Nano habitat fired up at our place for awhile, so when our friends at Target asked if we'd like to design our own, my son (and his dad) gave an ecstatic and audible thumbs up. The Hexapillar Gift Card goes from caterpillar to butterfly in seconds flat and comes alive with one flip of the switch. In stores now. See it a tad larger here.
As always, extra big high-fives to our A.D.'s Ted Halbur and David Ledsinger for making this all happen.
