Steve Pettit & Heather Vandiver
Working Dog Studios LLC/Steven M. Pettit Art & Design
I’m Steve, I draw stuff, actual pencil and paper art, or a digital pencil and screen, I then incorporate that art into digital designs for use in a variety of applications. From T-shirts, hoodies and other apparel to advertising and promotional products.
I come from a big, talented, and creative family. I have been drawing my whole life and became fascinated by graphic design while watching my brother Patrick do graphic design using his own amazing artwork. His memory inspires me every day.
I've been worked in the screen printing/ad specialties industry for over 25 years. Because I've worked hands on in every step of the process I've been able to develop artwork and techniques that I feel very confident offering to our customers. I've learned to apply these skills to create many ad specialty and promotional items from business cards to Christmas ornaments. I've also been involved with custom embroidery for several years now and we offer that service to our customers as well. Recently we have added a Laser Engraver in house, it’s a process and a look I’ve always admired but it had always been of limited use because of typically high minimum orders and the cost for set up. Now we are proud to offer this service to our customers.
In the last few years I've been lucky enough to work with Heather Vandiver, an absolute powerhouse in organization and logistics. She does it all, she is sales, customer support, and production. She’s likely to be who you talk to for most things other than art or design.
In my personal life I've been training working dogs for a very long time. Through the years these two worlds have intertwined and I have worked on countless logos and designs for events and businesses. These have included many national level events and even a world championship. I've also worked with some great retail partners such as Top Dog Designs, Ray Allen Mfng, J&J Dog Supply, and Custom K9 Creations. I am constantly working on new art and developing new products. If you don't see what you're looking for just ask!
