The Mint Bar, a Sheridan landmark since 1907, needed versatile apparel to connect with tourists and locals. In an ongoing partnership, I've built a collection spanning neon cowboy illustrations, vintage rodeo photography, irreverent bar humor, and classic Western badges. The bar provided historical images; I created screen-print-ready layouts. The range is intentional: hitting different audiences while staying true to cowboy grit and wild history, expanding their reach in-store and online.
