As with much (all?) of humanity our plans were thrown out the door with all the COVID. We’re normally pretty involved with our local art scene but faced with weeks to months to… who knows how long of limbo on events, we decided to do what we could with what we had. How do we keep everyone safe and still do something to support the arts?

One thing we came up with was The Neighborhood Art Gallery Project. We’re trying to unite artists and window space in an effort to create a socially distant art gallery. We’re hoping to expand this in the future, possibly even past pandemic times.

Check out our online gallery of all the current participating artists and our instagram for the project. If you’d like to be involved, send Paul at Fireball an email!

We’re now offering Mohawk Renewal Recycled Paper! It’s made from 100% recycled t-shirt and denim waste. Get your info out to the world and keep some fabric out of a landfill!

This 120# stock is currently available for your business card and postcard orders! This paper is made at the Cheney Pulp and Paper Company in Franklin, Ohio. They’ve been making paper from clothing waste since 1924!

The cards pictured were designed by Wen Blankenship. See more of Wen’s work here!

These illustrated wedding invitations we helped create for @emiliefoz were such a creative solution – the ‘doors’ of the gate fold contain relevant info for guests, eliminating the need for all the extra cards you usually see in an invitation suite. We also love them because if you look closely you’ll spot the best fluffy cat. Printed on our 100lb Smooth Uncoated Cover on our HP Indigo press. Congrats Emilie & Clayton on your wedding!

We just wrapped up these Lettering Pocket Companion Guides for @marykatemcdevitt. Mary Kate will be providing these to attendees at her upcoming workshop. She chose our 70lb Smooth Text and saddle-stitch binding, and we think the uncoated matte stock is a perfect complement to the design and color palette. See more of Mary Kate’s work here!

Maki Naro is a freelance cartoonist and illustrator. His body of work spans from deeply personal stories about a young girl coming to grips with forces beyond her control to a prehistoric romance that is as heartwarming as it is educational. See more of his work and buy his comics here.

These saddle stitched books were printed using our 100lb Smooth Uncoated Text for the insides, with the covers on our 100lb Smooth Uncoated Cover.
