The collaboration
A local story, drawn one detail at a time.
The Tybee Island Mug began with local research and a collaboration with Seaweeds. Ashley translated the community’s recognizable places and shared references into an original drawing designed for everyday use.
Each element began as an individual hand drawing. Ashley refined the artwork and arranged the pieces into a continuous design made to wrap around a ceramic mug, creating a keepsake that feels specific to Tybee Island.

The creative process
Letting Tybee Island Light Station carry the story.
Tybee Island Light Station became the visual thread for this mug. I drew Tybee Pier and Pavilion, Fort Pulaski, and Cockspur Island Lighthouse around it so the finished wrap moves through Tybee Island the way a familiar view or favorite drive does.
