We have been lucky enough to have my former neighbor and friend, Agnete Oernsholt, be our graphic designer. I have used the old barter system with her and in exchange for me watching her daughter, who happens to be my son’s great friend, she designs our artwork.
I have loved popping over to her house through out the years to go over ideas. Agnete is strict about keeping things look a certain way. This is Agnete. She’s a former model and tall and beautiful. So I always feel extra short and stumpy around her but it’s worth it.
Agnete doesn’t always look this way. She did this for halloween. Gorgeous!
Agnete drew inspiration for that look from Dios de Los Muertos at Hollywood Forever in LA.
Her husband, Marcel Langenegger, also hand wrote our logo.
Marcel hand wrote this out of the kindness out of his heart. The dude is a working director. That’s the kind of homespun shop we are.
Here is a look at some of the artwork Agnete has created for us:
I love this design and tote. It has been met with some criticism, mainly the word fat. I never thought of it as we were saying moms were fat but rather sometimes (cough) a mom can feel fat. Like me right now.
And that is a glimpse into how we create our artwork! A big thanks to Agnete for helping us out all of these years.
