Emily Eisenhart | October 9th, 2019
Emily Eisenhart is a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Austin, Texas. The daughter of an artist and anthropologist, she grew up with a paintbrush in one hand and a field book in the other. She is constantly exploring, and her work is heavily inspired by the textures, patterns, shapes, and natural colors around her. With a background in Anthropology, she is ever curious, weaving research into her inspiration for motif and color palette development. She approaches many of her projects as an ethnographer, diving deep into the culture of a place to create dynamic, story-driven artwork.

Katie Johnson | November 20, 2019
Katie Johnson is a lettering artist living in Austin, Texas. After working for several years as an art director, she left to open her own studio, Katie Made That, through which she focuses on freelance, art licensing, teaching, and selling her own line of hand-lettered paper goods.
She also manages an art education initiative she founded in 2010 called The Monster Project. The project asks professional illustrators to reimagine children’s drawings of monsters in an effort to teach kids about the power of their imaginations and get them excited about art at a young age. Over the years, the project has traveled to places like San Francisco, New York, Indianapolis, and even Berlin, and has reached thousands of kids and artists.
Katie also enjoys consuming questionable amounts of pasta, hanging with her husband and two cats, and resting her brain after a long day’s work with some bad reality TV.

Robin Finlay and Adam Voorhes | February 26, 2020
Adam met Robin. He complimented her shoes, she wasn’t buying it. That was the beginning.
They were married in a dog park by a fellow photographer who had been ordained online. The only camera at the wedding was a Polaroid SX 70.
It has worked out. Adam’s talent for pointing lights and pressing shutters pairs well with Robin’s ability to build stuff and things out of stuff (& thing).
As The Voorhes, they have brainstormed, sketched, built stuff and photographed things for editorial and commercial clients such as Wired, Fortune, Details, O Magazine, GQ, Ceasars Casinos, and AT&T.
When not in their gospel church converted into a studio, they can usually be found on a patio with a margarita in one hand, a sketch pad in the other and two ill behaved bulldogs at their feet.
So much FIRE on their Instagram! @finlayrobin @adamvoorhes
