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 story behind the mug

How The Tybee Island Mug found its story.

  1. Seaweeds shares the community story

    Ashley partnered with Seaweeds to create a mug rooted in Tybee Island.

  2. The character of the place comes into focus

    Research and community input highlighted Atlantic beaches, maritime history, island wildlife, and the relaxed landmarks of Tybee.

  3. Tybee Island takes shape

    Ashley translated each selected place and symbol into an individual hand-drawn illustration.

  4. One community story from every side

    The drawings were refined and arranged into a continuous design that rewards a closer look.

  5. Available through Seaweeds

    The finished mug became a locally available keepsake through Seaweeds.

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.

A meaningful local gift

Made for the people who carry Tybee Island with them.

Whether someone has just moved to Tybee Island, Georgia, is preparing to leave, or still calls it home from miles away, this hometown mug offers a warm and useful connection to the community.
