The Nate Hester Studio – Pretty Sketchy and ArtSquawk

We love when clients stay with us for multiple projects. And Nate Hester (The Nate Hester Studio) is one of our favorites!

Meet Nate: I am an artist, draftsman, and animator. I maintain a public-facing, brick-and-mortar studio at the Golden Belt in Durham, NC. I primarily draw black-and-white figures in landscapes in charcoal and Sumi ink. I offer packages of traditional, representative portraits of people and places as well as personalized movies as time capsules for clients of their favorite spaces and faces.

Nate sent us a sketch of an idea from his son and we were honored to be able to take that idea and turn it into a new logo for his studio! We also designed and printed his business cards and a fully custom eCommerce website.

“ArtSquawk’s mission is to revitalize the visual arts in American culture by fusing technology instead of retreating to nostalgia; to build an online support network and forum for visual artists to remove barriers to entry to the marketplace.”

Nate’s request? “I want the major theme to be the head of a crowing rooster in a woodblock print design.” …. and I think we delivered! He loved it so much that we also designed his business cards and email newsletter template for MailChimp.

Take a peek at all of his projects below.

  • OMG! BEST LOGO EVER!

    Alison at Moonlit Designs exceeded my expectations with the design of an amazing logo for my hopefully soon-to-launch vodcast, ArtSquawk. Her portal management with regular updates kept the process streamlined and professional, but all of the “red tape” didn’t hinder in the least her amazing creativity and her keen sensitivity to my needs. She moved through several iterations of color combinations and fonts until we hit it out of the park on all cylinders – to mix metaphors – LOL! I hope that you get to see this logo, but take my word for it, this rooster has so much pizzazz, and it is perfect for my target audience. Chapeau! Well done! So glad that I lucked out to work with Alison – just by being the first respondent on Thumbtack!
