JWN #30 Gil Shuler

Gil Shuler began his career as a graphic designer when it was still an analog craft. Having maintained a successful graphic design career & studio through the shift to digital in the 90’s, his ability to design with intent & vision has only sharpened.

We sat down for a wonderful discussion about growing up in the rural south, discovering art, & his love of rock n' roll. There's a lot of history of Charleston, SC's independent music scene discussed that is uniquely lowcountry.

Gil is celebrating the release of his new art book “Barn Jam Posters”, which is a collection of 180 of his favorite designs for the Awendaw Green’s weekly Barn Jam showcase of upcoming musicians. For art enthusiasts & musicians alike, this collection is a masterclass in design & creativity that showcases a seasoned professional’s intersection between the love of his craft & his love of music. You can purchase his book on his website at gsgd.com & follow him on Instagram at @samplethedog
