A few weeks ago we pulled the sheet off of what has been absorbing my wife, Julia and I for the last few months- Craft Services, or from here on out just Craft Svcs. As stated in the about section of our site:

Born out of the need to be crafty in the 2nd or 3rd coolest town in Oregon, CSDC is a collaboration formed by husband and wife Truen and Julia Pence. Inspired by antiques, the sea/trees/sasquatch of the Northwest, repetition, and Charles and Ray Eames (but who isn’t, really?) the duo introduced Craft Services as a way to showcase some work, use up those sketchbook gems that have been itching to get out, and create more with handmade influences.

Not only do they peddle lots of graphic goods in their online store, but also offer design services, occasional custom prints, and collaborate surprisingly well!

So not only will I be posting more posts regarding pieces from our collaboration, I hope to be updating you on how this venture evolves. Our first big opportunity is Crafty Wonderland on May 1st and 2nd in Portland. There will be more news following that show and hopefully these will lead to some new types of opportunities, but more than anything we just want it to continue to be fun and exciting to create new types of work. Thanks for supporting us and stay tuned for more. Here are some images below:
