Buds & Suds

I had a project rolling around in my head for the better part of two years based on my love of putting succulents in alcohol cans. It’s a colorful and fun way to reuse materials, and what plant lover among us can argue with the benefit of a free planter? Enamel pins have been fun to collect over the past few years and I wanted to add to others collections too!

Producing these pins locally was a goal of mine from the start. I partnered with Austin, TX print and merch company Mindzai to bring these to life.

I think the most fun thing about this was re-creating a lot of the typography, or finding typography that would match what the original brands were going for. The Duff Beer can, of course, I had to really work from screencaps from that good ol’ cartoon that’s now owned by a really big corporation.
