Check Out Our Latest Work

Local Brewery

Company
Lil Beaver Brewery
Overview
MCW had a blast creating custom-designed screen printed apparel for our friends at Lil Beaver Brewery. The design brings together bold Pop Art elements, iconic Rolling Stones references, and, of course, the Lil Beaver himself—resulting in apparel that anyone with even a hint of a wild side would love to rock.

County Festival

Company
Brown County Uke Fest
Overview
We had the pleasure of creating a vibrant screen print for the Brown County Ukulele Festival in Brown County, Indiana. The design showcases the ability to achieve a wide range of tones using just a few colors and expertly applied halftones, resulting in a visually striking print that captures the fun and spirit of the festival.

Jean Embroidery

Company
Whiskey Empire
Overview
We provided custom embroidery for Whiskey Empire’s premium heavyweight denim aprons. Their branding was
stitched in metallic gold thread, standing out boldly against the rich indigo denim. The result is a rugged yet rened
nish—durable for daily use, but polished enough to showcase their brand with pride.

Hat Embroidery

Company
Growmark/FS
Overview
For the past two years, MCW has had the privilege of embroidering several hundred hats for Growmark to be given out at the annual Farm Progress Show. Each hat is stitched with precision to showcase the FS brand, highlight the importance of farming, and honor the pride of being a great American farmer—creating a high-quality giveaway that attendees can wear with honor.

Hat Embroidery

Company
Lab Coffee
Overview
MCW created a custom sign for Lab Co ee’s downtown Bloomington location, their little satellite spot inside Red Raccoon Games, combining wood and 3D foam lettering for a striking, dimensional look. The handcrafted design adds depth and character, making it a memorable and eye-catching feature for visitors and passersby alike.
