Montclair is home to Ruthie's BBQ & Pizza, New Jersey's favorite BBQ joint. With love of great food and all things musical, in particular, the blues, Ruthies is not just a food spot. On the weekends, in particular, its a night out and hosts some of the best live blues you will find in the state.
I have been working with them since designing their logo and branding in collaboration with Ruth almost ten years ago now. Since then I have designed Posters advertising their summer events, Postcards, Calendars, Baseball caps and BBQ sauce packaging.
The work itself borrows heavily from vintage roadside Americana and often pays homage to the work of the legendary 'Hatchshow Print' based in Nashville.
