A lot has happened for us at This Paper Ship since our last update ages ago! We feel like we’ve been in a frenzy for the last few months, and when we look back at everything we’ve been up to, it’s no wonder. Here’s a brief recap with photos to match:
1. Studio expansion.
To match the...

Now that Spring to Spring is officially over, this is an official announcement that I (Joel) have started my new yearlong solo project A Year of F! I’ll be drawing/designing/building a letter F every day for a whole year, in tribute to my favorite letter as a kid and to my love of typography. Here’s...
We're Indie NC Guest Bloggers!
We were really bummed last December when we got snowed in and couldn’t participate in Raleigh’s Rock & Shop Market, but all was not lost, because we made the acquaintance of Michelle of IndieNC, a cool Raleigh-based online boutique focusing on emerging artists from all across North Carolina.
We were super excited, then, when she asked...
International Civil Rights Museum + The Green Bean
This month we had the pleasure of designing a promotional poster for The Green Bean in downtown Greensboro, where Joel has been working part-time on weekends. Elm Street is going to be wicked busy this Monday for the Feb. 1st opening of the International Civil Rights Museum, located in the former Woolworth’s building where the...
Baked with Love
Since Christmas and our exciting travels to Germany, Scotland, and the coast of NC, we’ve been back in the studio plugging away. November and December 2009 were probably the toughest couple of months for our studio. We suffered the same way every other business did, only it was our first time. Thankfully spending time overseas...
This Just In…
We recently had the pleasure of our first interview and photoshoot, and it was a blast! The Greensboro News and Record was more than gracious enough to cover our studio in their Arts & Entertainment insert this month and plaster our faces all over the paper. (We even made the front page masthead!) It was...
December First Friday Indie Market!
The First Friday Indie Market in Greensboro yesterday was, as usual, wonderful! This was the third in a row that we had a booth at, and it’s been getting better every month. We gave out a ton of business cards and sold a good handful of prints. We also had a great time chatting it...
First Friday Indie Market
We had the privilege of designing and illustrating the poster for the First Friday Indie Market again! We’ve been getting into the Christmas spirit a little early design-wise (don’t worry, no tree up yet… not until the big bird hits the table) so we had a blast drawing Santa, snow, and Christmas lights. (Not to...
Under Construction!
Just like that favorite stretch of highway you love to hate because those orange roadsigns make traffic screech to a halt when you’re in a hurry, we’re at it again! The recent look of our site (joelandashley.com v3.0, by our estimation) just wasn’t keeping up with the levels we’ve taken our work to, so it...
From Manhattan to Mississippi!
Yesterday we mailed off one of our latest client projects, moving postcards! These were a really fun break from weddings. We’ve been getting really into maps recently (especially Joel). Expect a wicked-amazing-awesome-radtastic-superdedooper-fun screen printed item to appear up here and in the shop soon! It may involve maps… tee hee. We can’t tell you yet...
