Hey everyone. Some of my mustaches posters are now for sale on Etsy.

Kraft Distribution

High-Five Friday! Earlier in the week I designed this poster for an internal Kraft Foods meeting. The idea was to make a design for the meeting that had a retro approach. They passed on this concept, but choose another design that was inspired by a beer label. I will post it later once the meeting has happened.

Carter’s 2nd Birthday

Dusty Pierce — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 19:44:59 +0000

Well, as many of you know, my oldest boy is turning two next month. So here is the design for the invitation. Just like any other designer I know, we somehow feel the need to always design our own invitations and announcements; however, once we are committed and have denied our spouses to buy them anywhere else (namely Tiny Prints, even though I have heard great things), it seems these projects always take longer than estimated to complete. Anytime you take on a project for your wife, it appears that your #11 blades are all dull, the printer is out of ink, you can’t find that specific paper you are wanting, and CS needs to be updated. So worth it though.

I wanted to let you guys know that a couple of my posters I have shown here on the blog are being featured in the alumni gallery on The University of Oklahoma School of Art and Art History’s website: art.ou.edu

You might also recognize the logo for the School of Art and Art History. The new web revamp is rockin’ my logo :{)

Here is a poster I designed to promote this blog. I was playing around with some print making, press style textures. Check it out.

Mustache “Party” Posters

Dusty Pierce — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 14:34:09 +0000

Earlier this month, I was emailed by a nice woman named Emily. She had come across my site and really wanted to use some of the mustache posters for her son’s third birthday party. Since I am not currently set up for people to buy my posters, I sent her some print quality files in return for some pictures of the posters up at the party. She kept her end of the bargain and I have to mention she took some good shots. Check it out. Enjoy the staches :{)

Planters Flavor Grove

Dusty Pierce — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 16:15:01 +0000

At the end of last year, I designed several in-store pieces, such as a poster, shelf dangler, door cling, counter card, and shipper display. The typography treatment was inspired from the look of those old hand painted soda crates. The “farmer’s market” approach just made sense with the slow roasted characteristics of the Planters Flavor Grove product.

The Beard

Above is an icon I have designed to visually represent what is going on with my face. At 8 weeks of growth (from clean shaven), the picture was taken and edited by my good friend, Will Riggs. See the picture below :{)

Lone Star Jeep Logo

Dusty Pierce — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 15:13:06 +0000

Here is a logo that I have been working on for the Lone Star Jeep Club. As you probably know, I am a Jeep enthusiast. I haven’t joined this club yet, but I am hoping I can trade this new logo for a free membership. Let me know if you think this needs something else to be finished. I want to add texture to it eventually, but right now I am focusing on the form and color.
