Hand-drawn paper goods from a small town in upstate New York.
Hello! Allow me to introduce myself: my name's Turner and, well, I'm a guy who's never bored! I've spent my whole life in the pursuit of all things creative, and I have a particular passion for making this world a more beautiful place than how I found it.
I grew up on a farm in West Texas, where the land is flat and the nearest...anything is a long, long drive away. By most measures, that would mean there wasn't much to do. But I never took notice. I was always busy: inventing games to play, building things out of whatever was lying around, and drawing whatever came to me in my imagination.
I took that sense of curiousity on with me and eventually found my way to New York City. (Now that was a place that you could never get bored of!) That chapter of my life opened me up to all new expereinces, helped me to expand my horizons, and allowed my imagination to grow even further than it had before.
No matter where I've been, or what stage of life, I was never bored. That has turned out to be the most useful skills I've ever developed.
Never Bored is what happens when that constantly curious kid grows up, learns digital drawing, and channels over forty years of life experience into creating hand-crafted prints, unique digital artwork... and a little bit of magic.
Every design starts as a hand-drawn illustration. The look is warm and a little retro: the color palettes of old matchbooks and roadside motel signs, the kind of image that feels like you've seen it before even when you haven't.
That artwork becomes:
Greeting cards — 5x7, blank inside, with envelopes
Boxed notecard sets — ten cards, one design or a themed mix
Postcards — 4x6, printed on both sides, actually worth mailing
Art prints — 8x10, ready to frame
Canvas totes and stickers — the same illustrations, off the page
Everything is printed in small batches, packed in recyclable or compostable materials, and made close to home.
If you're looking for a unique, one-of-a-kind gift, I'd love to see if I'm the right guy to help you out. Recent commissions have including wedding invitations, business logos, party stationery, and pet portriats.
Tell me what you have in mind and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right person to draw it.
You'll find Never Bored at craft shows, art fairs, and festivals around upstate New York through the fall — including the Sharon Springs Harvest Festival, where the paper goods line made its debut. Everything else lives here, shipped from directly from my studio.
Come say hello. Bring a project.
