An endless view of fields and rivers most of my home state is flatlands. Great for farming, gusts of wind, and winding back roads. I didn’t appreciate it as much as I should have then, but I do now. . . . . . #stationco #midwest #illinois #illinoisstation #branding #aesthetic #inspo #instagay #livefolk #liveauthentic #lifeofadventure #adventure #handmade #handlettering #handdrawn #logo #design #tempuradesign #minimalist #sketch (at Peoria, Illinois)

Born and raised. Midwest proud. Whether it’s coffee shops in Iowa or hills that could be mountains, this is home. . . . . . . #stationco #midwest #greatlakes #lakemichigan #lakesuperior #instagay #sketch #handmade #handdrawn #handlettering #adventure #lifeofadventure #liveauthentic #aesthetic #logo #design #inspiration #puremichigan #illinois #illustration #illustrator #branding (at Houghton, Michigan)

Sometimes I forget how spoiled we are by having lakes that are big enough to be oceans. Sometimes I fight with my girlfriend about whether Lake Michigan or Lake Superior is better. Sometimes I make a series of pennant flags about the Midwest, here’s the first 🖤 . . . . . . #stationco #midwest #greatlakes #lakemichigan #lakesuperior #instagay #sketch #handmade #handdrawn #handlettering #adventure #lifeofadventure #liveauthentic #aesthetic #logo #design #inspiration #puremichigan #illinois #illustration #illustrator #branding (at Lake, Michigan)

Making big decisions is scary. Changing your life is terrifying. Second guessing yourself is normal. Staring at your ceiling at 3AM trying not to wake up your girlfriend is totally fine...right? 🤷🏻��♀️ Admitting you want things outside of what society seems as acceptable is the first step to being true to yourself. There’s a lot of guilt in admitting that your corporate dream job is actually your nightmare. That you’re just trying to get by each day and take tiny steps towards your dream. That you’re going to move from the hustle and bustle of city living to the middle of a mostly remote forest town to reset your life and live for your happiness. But we’re doing it, alright. And we can’t wait. . . . . . . #stationco #midwest #puremichigan #yooper #michigan #michiganstation #midweststation #midwestgay #instagay #brand #branding #aesthetic #cabin #forest #liveauthentic #adventure #lifeofadventure #minimalism #livefolk #kinfolk #folk (at Atlantic Mine, Michigan)

When you’re as obsessed with #typography as we are, you tend to have piles of books around your house. Too many books for a shelf? The books become the shelf 🙈 (at Chicago, Illinois)

Why are you here? What sets your soul on fire? Why aren’t you doing that? . . . #stationco #midwest #chicago #handlettering #typography #logo #designer #design #brand #branding #adventure #liveauthentic #lifeofadventure #flatlay #aesthetic #1924us #filmphotography #filmisnotdead (at Chicago, Illinois)

What do you seek? We have talked a lot about the transition to Station & Co. About going after what you want. About being authentic and not trying to fit into anyone else’s idea of what your creativity or art should look like. About building something you’re proud of and not trying to fit into what others have liked on Instagram before. So here’s to Station & Co.’s first logo/illustration, we’re so excited and we hope you are too. . . . . #stationco #midwest #branding #brand #illustration #illustrator #handmade #logo #designer #design #inspiration #inspo #liveauthentic #lifeofadventure #tempuradesign #sketch #aesthetic #go #seek #cabin #mountains #livefolk #1924us (at Chicago, Illinois)

I spent most of my growing up tired of seeing snow and corn and the endless fields and forests of the Midwest. Now I can’t imagine spending my life without seasons and so many beautiful hidden places. This is one of mine, where’s yours 🍁 . . . . . #stationco #midwest #appreciation #home #michiganstation #yooper #puremichigan #copperharbor #aesthetic #forest #flatlander #brand #branding #lifeofadventure #liveauthentic #livefolk #folk #kinfolk #folkgreen #folkgood #vsco #vscocam #instagay #midwestgay (at Brockway Mountain)
