Shortlisted for Gift of the Year

January 18, 2022

Woohoo! For the second year running, my brand has been shortlisted for Gift of the Year: International category.  My brand won the title in 2021 and this year, we have put forward my creative collaboration with one of my licensees: Neil Enterprises, a specialist manufacturer of giftware for the USA collegiate sector.

The Julia Gash brand has become an integral part of the Neil Varsity Line for 3 years, during which we have created over 250 artworks and corresponding best selling ranges that celebrate America's iconic educational institutions.  Campus culture, amazing architecture, sports heroes and local landscape feature strongly in each piece of art, enabling students and alumni to connect with their alma mater.  Every artwork tells a unique story, drawn in my playful style, reflecting a child like vision of awe and wonder, as part of the journey of discovery.

State universities feature strongly, from coast to coast: California State, Illinois State and Middle Tennessee State are amongst many state universities I have drawn.

Ivy League establishments such as Cornell, Harvard, Yale, Brown and Berkeley are amongst the biggest projects we have worked on.  Each design is created to reflect the brand colours and emblems of each institution.

 

Ecclesiastical institutions across America have become part of this creative family. 

I have also created artworks for independent and specialist colleges that teach our young people expert skills for the future.  More and more schools for younger students are also collaborating with us to have a unique piece of art that describes their institution's history and heritage and can be printed onto products for fund-raising initiatives or simply as a lovely memento for students when they leave. 

 

If you would like a product range to sell in your university campus store or to raise the profile or funds for your school then contact us and we will connect you with our licensees to make it happen.
