About Fox & Thistle Studio

Tidewater, Virginia

Fox & Thistle Studio is a celebration of art, history, and storytelling. These elements are woven into our graphic designs, upcycled creations, and vintage treasures. We believe that objects, images, and words-are hiding the echoes of the past, and we seek to weave those impressions into 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, medieval marginalia... we have a deep appreciation for what came before. We enjoy drawing words and imagery from the public domain—from the collective memory—and remixing it into fresh designs. We delight in new combinations of old things.

Reclaimed & Upcycled Goods

Our passion for vintage extends beyond collecting—we actively repurpose, reuse, and upcycle. Sourcing second-hand from auctions and estate sales, we curate treasures that already have stories woven in. Some are sold as they are, while others are transformed into functional art. Tables emerge from bourbon barrels, shipping pallets become wine bars, musical instruments transform into lamps... each piece has a story.

A Cohesive Mess of Creativity

Fox & Thistle Studio is, at its heart, a hodgepodge of creative pursuits: flipping vintage, rebuilding furniture, designing apparel, writing poetry, and then tying loose threads together. It’s a space where sustainability, craftsmanship, and curiosity trade secrets. For a more complete picture of our interests, please see the first issue of our newsletter, The Liminal.

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 reclaimed materials, we see blockchain as a way to preserve digital creativity—ensuring that artists can earn a living wage tomorrow, from work created today.

In Spirit…

Creativity, for us, 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.
