THE MAN BEHIND THE INSPIRATION OF THE PECOS PRINT

Ryan Feerer is a designer and illustrator from Abilene, TX who runs a studio called The Good Things. His style usually has a fun sense of humor and you can spot his work as it often merges typography and illustration. He creates logos and designs for to-go cups for local coffee shops, cans of locally brewed beer and creative signs asking visitors not to smoke or skateboard near Abilene Christian University, where he teaches design.

Cheryl found him through the stamp collection he created with the USPS and she fell in love with his fun take on Western workwear. Inspired by the gear used by working ranchers and reimagined in fun and fanciful ways, the stamps celebrate what we think is the best of American fashion. His motifs include rattlesnakes, prairie roses and plenty of cacti too, so of course it was just the inspiration we were looking for when it came to creating the Pecos collection print.

The sisters saw on Ryan's website that he prefers projects doing 'fun things for fun people', so they just knew we wanted to work with him. Together we expanded on the Western style he had already created and brought in some classic rodeo elements to make it feel truly Pecos.
