Scarlet Onagers Guild Design

The Scarlet Onager Guild of Oregon is raising funds for next year by selling their logo on Threadless. As the designer of the logo, RedPress has added it to their store to help spread the word.

The Scarlet Onagers are a Volunteer Guild for Canterbury Renaissance Faire in Salem, Oregon. Funds from their Vending Booth at Canterbury helps pay for expenses related to the Faire. These expenses include buying inventory for the next year, buying camping and vending equipment, and feeding Scarlet Onagers and other Faire Volunteers.

This past year a much needed French Press, Tea Kettle, and a camp stove were added to the equipment inventory. This coming year, the Scarlet Onager Board hope to expand vending inventory, buy fabric to create  a couple new spare uniforms, and perhaps buy a camping shower and curtain.

Help the Scarlet Onagers out! Buy a shirt, sticker, or a variety of other products with the Scarlet Onager Logo. There are also other ways to help, as well. Check out their Blog here, or like and share their Facebook page here!

There is No "Marriage" in Board Games!

Game Night

My family is incredibly into Game Night. Even as most of us are adults, we routinely schedule weekly game nights. Bringing new friends, and even a couple spouses into the routine, we've had to explain many a house rule. The main of such rules routinely yelled across the table is "There is no marriage in board games!" or, similarly, "There is no marriage in card games!"

Whether we're playing our vicious version of full-blood Settlers of Catan or fighting across a lively game of Skip-bo. Casual game play is everything but casual to our family: there's excitement, loud debates that end in giggles and shoulder slaps, and always an abundance of snacks. One thing is not present though: the link of marriage that may get you to side with a spouse or plead the fifth for a spouse on a rule debate or similar argument.

And it is true, isn't it? In a game, all wits are about, and friends & family become either adversaries or partners. During the game, it is all about the game: employ strategies, make and break pacts, and do your best to win. Just remember, even in marriage: No one wants your flock of sheep!

Marriage Goals

Do you need a shirt to remind your spouse that all is fair in love and games? You can purchase one now from RedPress.threadless.com if needed. Another possibility would be to purchase a throw pillow in order to gently beat some sense into them betwixt rounds.

Believe in Nessie

Do You Believe?

There is a new design in Red Press Artist shop on Threadless. Believe in Nessie!

This graphic was a bit of an accident. In working on another graphic still in progress, a mis-step in editing vector points led to the start of it. Even in my frustration of learning a new vector editing software, I couldn't help but laugh upon seeing the silhouette of the Lochness Monster upon my graphic.

Prior to correcting the graphics, I copied Nessie here into a new file. As I wrapped up the other project, I came back to Nessie and added a few simple flourishes. Once complete, Nessie was posted to the Red Press Threadless Artist Shop, and is now released to roam about on shirts, hoodies, phones, and notebooks!

New Opening!

Our Artist shop is just starting out. Feel free to comment or message with suggestions on what products you'd like to see with this print, what you think of this print, or anything really. I'm always game for a good conversation starter!

Opener

Here I plan to post Photos and Graphics for Print, as well as discuss a wide variety of graphic, design, and typography related topics. I’ll discuss the inspiration for graphics, the wont to add too many details, and how things are going in general. I’m trying to keep this outlet simple, clean... well as far as designs go!

If all goes as planned, this will be a blogged portfolio of sorts aimed at simplicity.

Graphics ready for print will be posted for sale at RedPress.threadless.com

 Happy viewing. :)
