DKNG Studios [DKNG Website]
DKNG studios revolve around the two artists; Dan Kuhlken and Nathan Goldman. They were drawn to film, music, and design at early ages and set up DKNG in 2005. They both have diverse skill sets ranging from fine art to film projects - they strive to provide their clients with the artistic style and recognition that they deserve.
Catering to the entertainment industry, their services include (but are not limited to):
- Packaging Design
- Print & Poster Design
- Apparel Design
- Custom Illustration
- Web Design & Development
"Portfolio first. Don’t start any business just because you have the tools and/or talent. You need finished product to prove your worth. We believe that most great business organically creates itself based off of one’s passion for their work. Don’t be afraid to work for free if it means it will lead to a stellar portfolio piece. But also don’t forget your worth. You really have to love what you do in order for it to love you back."
For their creative process, they rely heavily on concept - planning is key to their style, as it turns something good into something breathtaking. Dan is the more illustrative of the pair whilst Nathan focuses primarily on typography and graphic design. It is a belief of theirs that the two minds collaboratively help to create solid final pieces.

Shed Labs [Shed Labs Website]
Shed Labs is a design and illustration studio based in Greenville, South Carolina. They focus their work on the beliefs that ideas come first and execution/craftmanship is vital. They take each project as seriously as the next, no matter how big or small, or how important the client is.
The studio is three strong, comprised of Wellington Payne, Robbie Cobb, and Beau Bailey, starting quite literally in a shed with screen printing in 2009.
Their passion through their work comes from the ability to bring their ideas to life.
