Today we’re featuring the amazing work of Luke Eshleman Photography who shared clients Amber and John with us, a couple we designed wedding invitations and programs for last Fall. As we’re sure Luke experienced, they were an incredible couple to work with! It made us feel like a million bucks when Amber told us about...

Tonya + Michael Map
To follow up with another photographer that had a client in common with us, here’s Melanie Mansfield’s photo of Tonya and Michael’s wedding map. Normally we get regional maps and city maps, but this one was unique because it was the first request for an entire U.S. map.
Their colors were black and white so...
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...
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...
Getting more web savvy…
Lately we’ve been opening the door to more web design, blog design, and other little odds and ends that end up being created for web only. It’s a sigh of relief being able to step away from the maddening printer (and all of the things that can go wrong when translating from screen to paper)...
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...
Make and Mingle
We have recently had the pleasure of working with Alexcia and Karen, owners of the new fabric store/creative boutique Make and Mingle (opening this November 17th in Fairfield, Connecticut)! They’ve commissioned us to build a website and draw all sorts of fun illustration and design projects for them. (Some of them, such as the matryoshka...
Children Ask… About Beards
A little while ago I picked up Questions Children Ask, a lavishly illustrated children’s book from the 1960’s answering, you guessed it, commonly-asked questions. The answers themselves are funny and sometimes quaint in how outdated they are (one answer reports that the U.S. Government pours drums of oil into swamps to destroy mosquitos), but the...
Blog Love
We’ve had a couple of web banner commissions come our way in the last few months and we’ve had a lot of fun doing them! The first is for More Peas Please, a blog devoted to children’s books teaching about different cultures and social justice. (We’re definitely going to have to follow it now). The...
Client Logos! Whimsy and Fun!
We’ve been working with Alexcia Patterson of the This Old Shirt and Pudge shops on Etsy for a little while now, and she’s been a great client! We’ve finished the logos (and web banners) for her shops, and we’re in the middle of talks for a potential new project.
Here are the final logos:
