I met Steffan Williams over instagram and we ended up talking a bit on the phone about living here, being dads and being outside. I was excited to work on some graphics for his brand @literallyoutside. Did a long sleeve 100% organic cotton grown, sewn, and printed in the USA T shirt as well as a short sleeve, hat and tote bag.
Founded in 2021 by cousins Steffan Williams and Taylor Williams, Literally Outside is one of the very few Black-owned outdoor lifestyle companies in the US. They want to promote diversity and inclusion by challenging outdated stereotypes of outdoor activities and outdoor apparel.
Nike Air Council Campus Trip
Recently had the opportunity to visit the Nike world HQ in Beaverton, OR with the crew from the Nike Chicago Air Council program (Gracis Koh, Oluwaseyi Adeleke, James Langford, Benjamin Edgar Gott, Steven “Tuck” Tucker, D’Wayne Edwards, Diana Almanza and Azeeza Khan). Got to spend some time behind the scenes in some of the design labs, met some designers and thinkers behind the brand and even ran around a track a few times (my hip still hurts). Big thanks to Nike Chicago for inviting me to be a part of this project.

Tryed out the new ROKO typeface from NuForm Type on this one.

New Louis Buhl prints...
Louis Buhl & Co. is pleased to present a new diptych edition titled Nonverbal Thoughts & Beliefs (Magic Humanities Redux) with artist Cody Hudson. Hudson’s use of graphic lines and striking color inspire a story of longing and hope, while also finding context within contemporary abstract painting. The artist is interested in the elemental use of shape as a signifier, but goes further by allowing the forms to be direct extensions of the painting’s poetic content.
Cody Hudson — Nonverbal Thoughts & Beliefs (Magic Humanities Redux)
4-color Hand-Pulled Screen Print on Coventry Rag Smooth 335gsm.
Deckled, numbered, and signed by the artist.
