Y’all! We’re on a mission to help Andy raise some money for his Team Kentucky fund which provides assistance to Kentuckians who have been severely financially impacted by the COVID-19 emergency. We’ve partnered with The Team Kentucky Fund and have recruited four of our favorite artists/designers from around the Commonwealth to whip us up some kick-ass Team Kentucky t-shirts. Those t-shirts are now for sale at kyforky.com and 100% of the net proceeds are going to The Team Kentucky Fund. Designs by Ciara LeRoy, Robby Davis, Austin Dunbar, and Adam Moore. Check out the collection of bad-ass Team Kentucky tees below and get to know some of your new favorite Kentucky creatives.

In 2017, she started her creative firm Pretty Strange Design, with a mission to make bold, beautiful, and offbeat creations that inject imagination into everyday life.

Robby is an artist, designer, and illustrator from Louisville, KY who believes in taking pride in your craft. Whether it's applying brush strokes or pushing pixels, the goal is the same – stay inspired, get better, and have fun. For the better part of the last decade, his work has been split between UI/UX design work at his day job and illustration and branding work for freelance clients. He has a love for both disciplines and, for him, they very much inspire one another.
