Merit x DRY BONES STUDIO Sepia 11oz Mug

We’ve been doing custom mugs for a long time. Since 2009 actually. This has to be one of my all-time, personal favorites though. Our Texas “Trailblazer” design (read more below) on an 11oz Sepia heat-resistant glass mug gorgeously designed by KINTO. 

This mug was designed as a nostalgic piece - like if Merit were an old coffee company from back in the day… and this piece out lived us and someone who collects vintage glassware happened upon it at a quiet antique store in a small dusty Texas town.

These heat-resistant glass mugs are microwave & dishwasher safe – although we do recommend washing them by hand.


BEHIND THE DESIGN
Cory Lee Snyder of @dry_bones_studio. Cory is a freelance designer who just moved to Texas from Florida. His ability to capture powerful concepts and simplify them in an art form is truly inspiring. A lover of coffee & design - we hit it off right away and commissioned 3 different projects with him. The full design is on the shirt (swipe!).

“Over the years, I’ve always been drawn to Sailor Jerry style and most traditional tattoo artwork. I’ve always loved work that combines simplicity and the use of negative space well. Combing that with bold messages in a very simple design is something I’m constantly developing to get better at and is where I’d say my style derives from." - Cory @dry_bones_studio
