JEDIDIAH FALL FAVORITES

kelli — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 17:43:21 +0000

Here are some new tee shirt designs now for sale at JEDIDIAH! (one of my favorite girls graphic collections to date!) I designed “Bows” and “Lost at Sea”. ”Woven” designed by Wesley Bird . Can you tell I like designing in just one color!?! Haha….with tees, sometimes simple is better. These are my top three favorites of the moment. LOST AT SEA was a fun one to create. I’m usually not a skull kind of girl, but I thought incorporating the leaf pattern helped to feminize it a bit, and I really love the way it turned out. I thought it would make for a pretty cool halloween stamp too! Maybe next year. Visit the STORE for more!

Proceeds from each tee will be benefitting an organization we are partnered with for the season called StandUp for Kids - a national non-profit whose mission is to improve the lives of homeless teenagers and at risk youth. This money specifically will be used to help fund a brand new StandUp For Kids homeless center in New York City. Join us in helping make a difference!

THE WHY WE LOVE

kelli — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 00:43:11 +0000

A few months ago I got the opportunity two work with an incredible husband/wife photography team on the re-branding of their growing photography business – THE WHY WE LOVE. I created the logo above as well as a cute little illustration of the couple holding their favorite cameras! Like me, they like the oldies (but goodies).

Can you say, TALENT!? Yes, these two are quite the rockstars. Their work is incredible and creative and full of life. Their photos really have a way of making you “feel”, if you know what I mean. Emotion is not always the easiest thing to capture, but they seem to do it effortlessly. Take a look for yourself!

Today, their work is featured on GREEN WEDDING SHOES – See their sweet elopement shoot, A Magical Elopement in the Woods. I can’t wait to see what these two come up with next!

HELP HEAL JAPAN

kelli — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 18:43:24 +0000

I know we were all pretty rocked by the recent disaster in Japan. It makes me think about the fragility of life, and how something like this could happen to any one of us, at any time. My heart goes out to all of the people affected by this catastrophe. It’s hard to watch what’s happening and hear the stories without wanting to help. Here is one way you can.

Jedidiah, in collaboration with Bulldog Drummond, has created a limited edition t-shirt collection to help heal Japan. I designed the women’s graphic “Heart”, shown above, as well as the graphic below, “Headband”. Both can be purchased on Jedidiah’s online store, along with a handful of other charitable tee options to choose from for both guys and girls. $15.00 from every shirt purchase will be donated to the World Vision/Japan Disaster Relief fund. Together, we can make a difference!

And here are a few other ways people are making a difference in Japan through their art.

STANLEY & SONS

kelli — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 19:02:45 +0000

While digging through the archives of FFFOUND in search of some logo inspiration, I stumbled upon this amazing company based out of New York: STANLEY & SONS. I am a sucker for good branding and utilitarian design, so their website lured me in right away. I love this simplicity and creativity of this logo. It actually makes me want to brand MYSELF better. Something that has been on my “to-do” list for far too long now. I can’t remember the last time I updated my website with my latest work. I find it so much easier to brand other people than to brand myself. But anyway… I digress. The original Apron and Bag Supply Company was a manufacturer of factory aprons and bags operated by Stanley Grodzki. Chris Grodzki followed in his grandfather’s footsteps and opened Stanley & Sons Apron and Bag Co. in 2008. Each piece is handmade one at a time and all aprons and bags are made to order. I love that there are businesses out there that still run like this. Sam (my husband) and I have talked about starting a small business like this together one day. Creating one of a kind jewelry designs and selling them to local shops and boutiques. It never hurts to dream.

……………………………………………………………………………………

And speaking of utilitarian design, forthcoming brand PUBLISH is one to keep an eye on (boys…if any of you are reading). They continue to re-innovate militarian wear with classic jazz inspirations for Fall 2011 titled “Classic Improvisation.” They have been a source of inspiration while I’ve been busy designing new silhouettes for JEDIDIAH.
