Tybee Island, My First Vacation Destination Mug

A family trip to Tybee Island inspired a new kind of place-based drawing.

Tybee was the first vacation spot I turned into a mug. We came home still carrying the feeling of that trip, and the island details became a way to remember a shared family experience rather than an everyday hometown route.

A gift idea with a real place behind it

Tybee Island Light Station and Tybee Pier and Pavilion give this design two points to recognize on a return visit. For someone who knows Tybee Island through trips rather than an address, pair the mug with a note about a particular stop or a plan to go back. It keeps the gift tied to an experience instead of a generic destination.
