Cards of Business

Back in 2009, I was hit up by a John Hughes to do a logo for his farm. I didn't know it was that John Hughes, but I learned pretty quick after that first six-hour phone call. SIX HOURS.

After the Redwing Farm logo was wrapped, he hired me to make a set of cards for Del Griffith and Buck Russell, his favorite characters from his movies.

I made sure to have them printed on the shittiest cardstock possible with that glorious thermographic ink. I sent a couple thousand back to John, as he would leave them in the backs of cabs, plane seats and restaurant fishbowls during his travels.

Each time I watch Uncle Buck or Planes, Trains and Automobiles I think about those about those incredible calls, ravaging the poor man with so many questions about the movies we grew up on. An incredible guy who left such a mark on the world.

For John.
