The artist

Josh Shafer, founder of HBK Studio

An artist who happens to design.

It started with a pencil and paper in 1992. The graphite portraits that built this studio — the hours of layered detail, the patience for hair, fur, and shadow — that's still where the work begins.

Over three decades, that craft expanded. Logos for trades and small businesses. Apparel graphics for shops and brands. Sports media for athletes, schools, and programs.

The thread through all of it: every piece is custom, every piece is made by hand, and every piece is built to outlast the trend. No templates. No reused assets. No shortcuts.
