In a fever dream of (REALLY COOL AND ANXIETY INDUCING) NDA work, I’m super pumped to be able to show off some work I can talk about.

VERY proud and excited for my brother from another starting a brand new venture and carving his own path to success.

Go follow @cowanmobileautorepair and give him a holler if you’re local and need some work done. Blake has been my body-work and inspections go-to for decades now. Always quality.

Good luck my friend!

Here’s the cover for the new concept menu now available at @revival1869! They have put together an amazing love letter to their patrons as a thank you for the incredible support that was shown to them over the pas couple of extremely difficult years.

Nobody does cocktails like these folks!

Did you know @hellcats.usa are the biggest inspiration for our retail operation?

Their talk at @aigaraleigh’s Thrive 2020 definitely sparked up so much creativity to make stuff that we like, but ultimately they planted the seeds for so much more.

Smash cut to less than a month later, quarantine started and the co-working/shared space business that was Canopy hung in the balance. At the time, a co-working space seemed so obsolete. Lots of stuff started changing for our then business (like so many others) and most of it had the potential to end badly. During the turmoil and chaos that was owning a business in 2020, Miranda and I decided to completely start a whole new business in 2021. And Barbour Shop Creative Services was created.

Once again inspired by Brittany & Clark and the new (at the time) Hellcats storefront, Miranda and I converted our existing space into a full retail experience. What was previously used for design meetings and hangs, is now filled with fun stuff that’s either made by us or our friends. And it’s been awesome so far!!

With all of that being said, we’re super pumped to say that we now have a Hellcats section in-store that’s filled with some of our favorite HC merch. NOW AVAILABLE!

Also, from now until Valentine’s Day, every in-store purchase gets a free Hellcats ink pen or postcard.

A little late, but super proud of how these guys turned out. West Main: A West Coast Style IPA. Another great collabo with the homies down at @deepriverbrewco.

Lots of cool new stuff (and returning favorites) on their schedule for 2022, so lookout!

ALWAYS a blast working with @strayvoltagesigns on stuff and I couldn’t be happier with how these business cards came out. Here’s to many more fun projects in the future!

If you need signage (or you just want something cool painted on your living room wall) hit Mark up a get on the schedule!! You can’t beat the hand painted authenticity, especially on glass.

Also, this is our yearly reminder, WE PRINT BUSINESS CARDS AND PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING ELSE. Best price in town. 😉

Last Day: Comfort Food

The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs

I spent a LOT of time in different horror sections of video stores as a kid (and pretty much until video stores went away). IMO @shudder is as close to that same feeling as it gets. And I’ll tell you now, I’ll take the @joebobbriggsofficial version of a movie over any other version ANY DAY.

Joe Bob is my zen, and the drive-in will never die.

TWOFER TWOSDAY!!!

Day 5: MVP

Day 6: Wholly Wholesome

Both days go to Tom Scharpling.

@scharpling’s book was a really great and hilarious read. I’ve been a fan for a really long time and had no clue about what Tom went through to get where he is.

One thing that will stay with me for a really long time came from Tom’s old boss, Jim.

“Ideas are cheap, and if you just talk about what you’re gonna do, you’ll never do it. The only things that matter are the things you finish. So just pick one thing and finish it!”

The Best Show: IMO there is nothing more wholesome out there that’s not aimed at children. There’s no agenda or fake advertising pitches. Just people being funny. I’ve found so many of my favorite bands and comedians from listening to this show.

Day 4: Song on Repeat
@haimtheband - “Gasoline”

Hands down, the most played song of 2021 in the Barbour household. Really stoked to see them next summer in Wilmington!

Day 3: Album of the Year
@thewarondrugs: “I Don’t Live Here Anymore”

This came out right at a time when a whirlwind of personal turmoil started for me and this record has really helped, and continues to help, me cope with the anxiety of inevitable loss and impending grief that is sure to follow. Change is hard most of the time. Especially when you see it coming.

Here’s a fun fact so we don’t end on such a bummer: I once shared an elevator with Adam Granduciel. I’m ALWAYS a socially awkward mess when I’m around people I admire, so I just grinned and nodded like a star struck crazy person. He smiled and nodded back. Super cool. Like an hour later he shared a stage with @bradleywcook, @philcookmusic & @joewesterlund as the mighty Megafaun in what I still consider one of the best @hopscotchfest performances ever. 2012 I think?

Anyways. Merry Christmas!! This record rules. Go listen to it when you get a chance.

Day 2: Drama
Yellowjackets

We are OBSESSED. I can’t remember a show that I was this interested in (like reading fan theory level interested) since Lost. The casting is perfect (it doesn’t get more 90’s than Juliette Lewis and Christina Ricci) The constant, dreadful, underlying tension is anxiety inducing (in a good way). The soundtrack is pure FIRE.

Speaking of Lost… We rewatched it during quarantine and it’s not that bad, y’all. Absolutely nothing could stand up to the hype and expectations we were all looking for. Are there some loose ends? Sure. But that’s life. Also, our rewatch is where our bulldog Hurley got his name from, so there’s that.

Everybody go watch @shoyellowjackets now and rewatch Lost when you get a second!!

✅Podcasts

✅Weird comedic pairing that works

✅Great visual design

Holiday mission is to get her to watch it.

I loved everything about this and am super stoked for season 2!

Always a pleasure when I get to work with friends. It’s been really exciting watching Josh and his family bring one of North Carolina’s oldest family farms back to life. Can’t wait to see what come next! Follow along Davis Family Farms and getcha some collards in time for Thanksgiving!!

For this project, I wanted to do something with simple shapes and thick lines so I cooked up this little number. I’ve been itching to put Aaron Draplin’s font DDC Hardware to work, and finally got the chance to do so here.

Super happy with how this turned out and can’t wait to start seeing it in the wild out in Wayne County, North Carolina.

Hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

TRICK OR TREAT!!

New spooky limited menu design for @revival1869’s Halloween weekend! Lots of fun getting to use the gouache brush pack from @retrosupply for this Mary Blair mid-century Disneyland inspired work.

Super pumped to start working on the Revival holiday menu that launches at Thanksgiving! Keep your eyes peeled…

Happy Halloween, everybody! Let us know what scary movies you’re watching tonight.
