First Thursday Beard Art

Beards Are Great. Period. George Mitchell knows this all too well.

Julia McNamara is a Seattle designer who loves to add that extra little texture to her illustrations. What’s better than a textured beard? The Bunyan-esque and Santa Beard notecards are awesome, for sure. But the Love in a Trash Can limited print is priceless. Especially if you saw HUMP!

Keep up with McNamara’s latest, texture-y work on her blog. Texture.

Stellar salt and pepper shakers—by Jim and Jenny of Paperdoll Woodshop—only come around once in a blue moon. Thus, they are already sold out. Hopefully the shop will produce a few hundred more soon!

Weekly Desktop #45 illustrated by Made in England’s Simon Cook is one of the better moustache charts you’ll find.

Also, Cookie’s own moustache is kinda brilliant.

BEARD by 2Wheel Studio (Bill Ferenc and Lindsey Lesh) in the twin cities of Los Angeles and Minneapolis. This piece hasn’t been produced yet—it still lives on a computer somewhere. Go to 2Wheel Studio and urge Bill and Lindsey to make posters or T-shirts already!

“Keep _____ Beard” is a sentiment any town could adopt. Aptly, Portland and Austin have done so with gusto. This Austin variation is by the supertalented Renee Fernandez of The Decoder Ring Design Concern.
