Oh man. It's been a long, long time since our last blog post...

However, there has been a lot going on in our studio. The J. Newbury team has been hard at work to develop the latest tee to add to our collection. We were commissioned by thrillist.com to come up with a tee shirt inspired by the old Scotch and Sirloin ads featuring the '85-'86 Celtics. While at first I though this was a little bit strange and obscure...the delicious, creative juices started to flow...and I time traveled back to many a dinner at the S&S in Syracuse NY.

While (arguably) the most famous location was within the Boston Garden, I had a feeling the restaraunts both shared a few commonalities...

What afterall, is more indulgent than some aged scotch and a prime cut? I thought this tied in well with the whole J. Newbury- "good life" mentality. After Jon and I bounced a few ideas back and forth, this is what we arrived at. A shirt that longs to be as legendary as Larry and leaves you thirsty for the goods.

The "Legend" tee is done in our traditional, outrageously high DPI (dots per inch) black, with Irish Green detailing. The tee itself is a fresh, crisp white- and picks up all the fine hand drawn pen and ink detailing that only J. Newbury delivers. The fork sports a thrillist.com logo, the steak knife a J. Newbury logo, and the lable on the bottle features some very legendary numbers from 1985-'86. A limited run were produced, so get 'em while they're hot...or cold. We hope you all will enjoy this tee, and take a little sip of history when you do.
It leaves us asking one question...

What's for dinner tonight? Scotch?

Thought this would be just tasteful enough to post...I mean c'mon....Marissa Miller on a Harley.

Our studio. Don't know if you can see the floor, but it's made out of 100% reclaimed wood....

Hello all. This past weekend J. Newbury participated in JP Open Studios. Open studios is a way for local artists to show off their work and gain a little publicity, all while having a really good time.

We opened up our studio space at 11 Green street in JP to the public, and walked around quite a bit ourselves. I picked up a few awesome pieces of photography and some watercolor, but my big score were some rare LP's that I snagged from a yard sale. We decked the place out with tee shirts and hats, photography by Dana Jack, custom carpentry by Brad Warren and of course, good wine and beer (not sure if we're allowed to do that, but whatever, its already over sooo...).

I would like to thank everyone that stopped by...you all made it that much better.

Looking into doing some other shows in a week or two. Will keep you all posted.

Cheers.

J. Newbury artist Peter J. in his natural habitat...Already missing summer weekends on the Cape....back to the drawing board....literally.
