When I was growing up, we lived close to the beach and every year we’d walk down to the boardwalk for this Festival. And every year, without fail, my father would get a t-shirt. So when I was asked if I wanted to work on the 2021 t-shirts, it seemed like a BIG deal (and Papa G was VERY proud!).

The team at the Festival wanted to go in a different stylistic direction this year, so we focused on all of the things that make the Festival and Virginia Beach special. There were three shirts — one for Boardwalk Weekend, one for the 8K, and one for the Wine Festival — and I love all three!
