New Store! It's been years!

Here's the most overdue post of all! A new store (Plymouth Meeting, PA), a new co-artist (Kelly Franklin) and so much new art! Enjoy!

Coffee anyone? This board is hanging in the new Whole Foods Market in Annapolis, which opened this past May. The size alone was pretty intimidating, then to add all of that text, then to add an immediate deadline, Aaaaaahhhh!

Congrats Monica

Monica Kelly, formerly of the North Wales, PA store, just got the Store Artist position at the Jenkintown, PA store! Gooo Monica!!

I will miss her immensely, but she definitely deserves the jump up. (And she's also just down the road ;)


Here's one of the last boards we did together:

Biggest Chalk Board ever.

Passover Poster

I am so intimated posting anything here, everyone is so talented. Really great work guys. I don’t do a lot of chalkboards at Old Town, I mostly do posters. Here’s the Passover endcap I created for the grocery department. I used the WFM woodcuts for the flowers and illustrated the rest. This was done in Illustrator and Photoshop.

And here‘s one of my old chalkboards:

Mike in Meat

Presenting Mike Richards in our meat department. Don't let the cleaver fool ya, he's really a lamb!

Pirate Ray, Matey!

Another one from the amazing Monica:
This is our Grocery ATL, Ray, as a pirate. For a good reason, of course.
Aye aye, Cap'n!
