Drawn from the world building and mythology created by CJ Bernstein for his book series, we produced a number of smaller designed items for fans that could be purchased through the Ackerly Green store, and shared on the forums. Projects include tote bags, buttons, social media artwork, business cards, and a revival of the brand mascot: Herman the Hippocampus.

Designed for a rustic autumn wedding beneath the fall foliage, the wedding invitation for Kira Butler and Ian Frazier incorporates elements of the event’s decor: fall leaves, berries, and wood elements all set against crisp, white linen paper. Watercolor elements, brush lettering, and delicate typography sit beneath an elegant, natural arch that embrace the couples’ names.

In German folklore, Krampus is a horned, anthropomorphic figure who often emerges around Christmastime and in the companionship of good old St. Nick. According to traditional narratives, Krampus punishes naughty children, stuffing them into his sack to eat them later. Saint Nick, by contrast, rewards the good kids with gifts. Since most Lightspeeders are really just naughty kids in grown-up disguises, we thought it’d be fun to play on this bit of folklore for our Holiday party.
