About Fox & Thistle Studio
Located in Tidewater, Virginia
Fox & Thistle Studio is a celebration of art, history, and storytelling. We weave these elements into our graphic designs, upcycled creations, and vintage treasures. We believe that objects, images, and words carry the echoes of the past, and our work seeks to amplify those echoes into the cadence of the future.
Graphic Design as Storytelling
Our graphic designs draw inspiration from history, literature, and the shared visual language that has shaped human culture over ages. Cave paintings, root words, ancient architecture, medieval marginalia... we have a deep appreciation for what came before. Much of what we create incorporates words and imagery from the public domain—epic poems, religious texts, classical literature, and unassigned proverbs—remixing them into fresh designs. We delight in new combinations of old things, blending tradition with innovation.
Vintage & Upcycled Goods
Our passion for vintage extends beyond collecting—we actively reuse, repurpose, and reimagine. Sourcing from auctions, estate sales, and flea markets, we curate treasures that already have stories woven in. Some are sold as they are, while others are transformed through upcycling projects into functional art. Bourbon barrels become tables, shipping pallets become wine bars, musical instruments become lamps, and discarded dishes become yard art. Each piece carries a past, a present, and a reimagined future.
A Cohesive Mess of Creativity
Fox & Thistle Studio is, at its heart, a hodgepodge of creative pursuits: flipping vintage, rebuilding tables, designing apparel, writing poetry, and seeking any loose threads and tying them all together. It’s a space where sustainability, craftsmanship, and curiosity converge—a place where the past is in the wake of the present, informing the direction we steer toward the future.
Looking Forward: Blockchain & the Future of Art
We are deeply interested in blockchain technology and its potential to reshape the art world. The advent of NFTs and decentralized platforms presents new ways for artists to ensure that their work continues to generate value over time. Just as we preserve and repurpose physical artifacts, we see blockchain as a way to preserve digital creativity—ensuring that artists can earn tomorrow from the work they create today.
In Spirit…
Creativity, in all its forms, is about nurturing something, letting it grow, and finding joy in the process. Fox & Thistle Studio is our way of capturing that spirit and sharing it with the world.
