We sadly bid adieu to the beloved local bistro, @kitchenchapelhill. We had the pleasure of working with Dick and Sue for the last 9 years and toast them with a flashback to some of our favorite in a series of celebratory anniversary posters. Cheers! (See them all on instagram!)

Big Bad Breakfast just opened location #14 this week, their second in Louisville, KY. We created another "local celebrity" mural as a centerpiece of their interior design. We even got Jack Harlow in there "for the kids!" Congrats to chef JC and BBB team.

We made the Nice list! None other than @thepioneerwoman herself listed our Santa's Naturals candle as one of her holiday favorites. The Fraser Fir-scented Santa's Naturals candle is actually OUR favorite, but who argues with The Pioneer Woman?! @murphysnaturals

Preparing for the opening of a new Big Bad Breakfast location always entails us creating some crazy artwork for the interior. Spring Hill Tennessee is receiving the royal treatment with a wall of custom BBB-themed tattoo designs, including the requisite creepy clown.

It’s been an exceptionally busy last few months for Splinter and @MurphysNaturals In addition to working with them on packaging for some exciting new products and a big retail initiative, we also created their booth for Natural Products Expo West trade show. Go Murphy’s, go!

Jetplane Coffee is soaring! The self-proclaimed "restaurant disguised as a coffee shop" just rolled out a brand new menu! @Jetplanecoffee has been a dream project in which we got to touch everything from branding to interior design to website and more.

Cheers from Splinter! We (minus our beloved Phil) had a fabulous holiday feast at Tesoro last week. It was absolutely delicious and a treat to be together. Chef David Peretin's Tesoro was listed among the top restaurant openings of '21 by the N&O and we couldn't agree more!
