It’s summer, it’s super hot out, and it’s best to keep things simple...like a cup of coffee in the morning and a cold beer at the end of the day! Our August Artist of the Month will get you from one to the other.
Founded in 2015, Coffee Beer’s Phillip and Jessica believe that coffee and beer should be just that - two fine beverages that are delicious to drink being served in an approachable setting that fosters memorable experiences amongst amazing individuals!
People are in love with Coffee Beer’s straightforward design and color palette, and their blunt, irreverent messages - such as “Death Before Decaf” (yes!), and their take on the Holy Trinity (coffee beer burritos, or coffee beer pizza). Come check them out - we’ve got lots of extra cool stuff for this month, including glass cans, tote bags, new mug designs and more! Coffee Beer has also recently paired up with Kayla Carlson of Paper Puffin to create adorable black and silver enamel pins that feature cool cats enjoying beverages!
Find out more at https://www.coffeebeer.me, and read on below to hear what Phillip and Jessica had to say about stuff!

July Artist of the Month: Place & Time
Our Artist of the Month is actually a duo - the dream team of Kenneth Poirier and KT Goeke of Place & Time!
Kenneth Poirier is a Portland based graphic designer and illustrator with a love of classic advertising, and KT, who grew up in Germany before relocating to the Pacific NorthWest, currently works as a bank manager and is pursuing a MBA. They met at a community event in 2014 where she was representing US Bank and Kenneth was promoting his previous art print business.
Their paths crossed many times afterwards as they were both serving on boards of local organizations. Immediately drawn to his talent, KT contacted Kenneth and began featuring his artwork on the walls of her bank branch. Eventually Kenneth and KT decided to join forces and utilize his artistic talent and her marketing skills to create ‘Place & Time’.
Blending gorgeous color and intricate detail, the work of Place & Time is a heartfelt shout out to Oregon as well as the vintage posters and tourism adverts of the Art Nouveau period. From their glossy postcards to their ready-to-hang rugged wood prints on solid hemlock planks, their work sells fast to locals as well as visitors.
Check out http://placeandtimedesign.com/ for more info and come into the shop to get an up close and personal look at Place & Time’s beautiful handiwork.
