Yee-Haw Industries
Yee-Haw Industries get things done the old-fashioned way. This is characterized not only by their antique letterpress prints and stationary, but also by their online store, which is (for lack of better words) kind of ghetto. That’s OK, though, because nothing can keep me away from good-looking paper products, and the set of cards I just got from Yee-Haw make up for a lot more than an iffy web page. Kevin Bradley and Julie Belcher founded the Knoxville-based company in 1996, and ever since then they have been spreading their heavy-stock, expertly letterpressed products around the nation. Famous for their promotional posters, invitations, and their nearly constant appearance in the pages of PRINT Magazine‘s Regional Design Annual, Yee-Haw have also done fine illustration and design for things like The Wall Street Journal, MTV2, and Cartoon Network.
So, yeah, you’d think that with such a thick portfolio their online store would be up for some awards, too… but it’s not, and that’s fine, and you should check it out anyway; getting mail (the real kind) is nice, and especially nice when it’s a card from Yee-Haw.
