As we gear up for our 30th Year Anniversary Art Show on July 19th, we're thrilled to introduce our second featured artist, Lane Murphy. Lane, our talented Senior Workflow Coordinator, has shared some fascinating insights about his journey and creative process. Let's dive into our conversation with Lane and learn more about his work and inspirations. Lane Murphy, originally from Tampa, FL, grew up in Spring Hill, FL. Moved to Arkansas for school and decided to stay because he enjoyed it so much. Lane has crafted a unique piece for the upcoming art show—a beautiful entertainment center made from an old door and reclaimed lumber, with antique store knobs as cabinet handles. When asked to describe his piece, Lane shared, "It’s pretty simple in its form. I found the door at a flea market, and the idea immediately snapped into my head. I’ve seen other people use old doors for desks and table tops, so there was inspiration from there." The process of creating this piece has been a labor of love for Lane. "I’m currently still working on it, but from drawing up the design to the finished product, I’d say about 15-20 hours. I don’t really keep track of the time. I’m just starting out, so I’m probably way underestimating the time I’m about to put in," he explained. For Lane, creativity is about transformation. "Using your mind to change the world around you. I feel like creative minds aren’t just limited to artistic media but in everything that we do. Just being able to come up with a plan to solve any given problem is inherently creative—you’re creating change." Lane is particularly drawn to natural and sustainable materials in his work. "I like using natural materials—woods, metals, fabrics, oils, etc.—while trying to use sustainable sources of those materials. Reclaimed lumber is a favorite, or incorporating old industrial pieces into the design." His inspiration comes from a love of pre-WW2 buildings and design. "I love old pre-WW2 buildings and design in general. I like the permanence and emphasis on importance of Art Deco design with the simplicity of contemporary art. I think Art Deco architecture is to America what Roman architecture is to Rome. Contemporary designers like Frank Lloyd Wright have inspired my work too. I think the simplicity in the designs allows for the natural materials to show off. So, I think my style is a combination of these if I’m making something of my own design. I want things to be timeless so they’re kept around and have a place in any decor. If I’m reusing materials, I like to build whatever suits the material in a way I think best shows it off, even if that’s something different and unique." When it comes to his favorite creations, Lane has a soft spot for cutting boards. "Probably cutting boards, mostly because I like gifting them to people, and their reactions are always nice. But I don’t think I have a favorite out of all of them. They can be tedious to make sometimes, but having the right tools helps." We’re so excited to see Lane’s unique entertainment center at our 30th Year Anniversary Art Show. Stay tuned for more artist features and get ready to be inspired by the incredible talent within our community! Save the date: July 19th! We can't wait to celebrate with you and showcase the amazing artwork created by our talented team.  

Alison Meeler is an artist whose passion for weaving is evident in her meticulous craftsmanship and creative expression. Currently residing in Starkville, MS, Alison has cultivated a thriving artistic practice dedicated to the art of weaving. Alison’s approach to creating art through weaving is characterized by attention to detail and a deep appreciation for materials. She primarily works with cotton and wool, carefully selecting each fiber to achieve the desired texture and color palette for her pieces. From conceptualization to completion, Alison's process involves thoughtful planning and execution. "When I begin a new project, I start by choosing the materials for the warp and weft, considering how their colors and textures will interact. The weave structure is crucial in bringing the design to life, and I calculate the amount of yarn needed before setting up my loom." Alison draws inspiration from the natural world, particularly the interplay of colors and textures found in landscapes and natural materials. "Color and texture are fundamental aspects of my work," she says. Her creative journey is marked by continuous exploration and experimentation, pushing the boundaries of traditional weaving techniques.  For Alison, creativity is not just about making art; it’s a vital escape from the digital world. "For me, weaving is a hands-on creative release from all the digital means that are ever present in life. I'm also a graphic designer, so I have a lot of screen time and find it's essential for me to include tactile studio time to keep a healthy creative balance. I encourage anyone and everyone to find an analog hobby, practice, or creative outlet to enrich your creativity." We are delighted to feature Alison Meeler and several other talented artists in a series of highlights leading up to our 30-year anniversary art show. Alison’s dedication to weaving and her commitment to artistic excellence make her a standout artist in our upcoming event. We look forward to showcasing Alison’s talent and inviting you to experience the beauty and innovation of her woven creations.

This week, the entire B-Team took to the Buffalo River for our annual B-Float adventure. We believe in working hard and playing hard, and this trip was the perfect way to celebrate that balance. The rain stopped just in time for us to hit the water with our canoes. The river was calm and inviting, setting the stage for a fantastic day. Some of us might have tipped our canoes over, which only added to the laughter and fun. We spent the day fishing, swinging on the rope swing, and enjoying the beautiful scenery. It was the perfect way to unwind and bond as a team. At B-Unlimited, we believe in working hard so we can play hard, and this trip was a great reminder of why we do what we do. Here’s to more adventures with the B-Unlimited crew! Follow us on Instagram @Bunlimited to see more photos and videos of our fun adventure on the water! 

Here at B-Unlimited, we believe that custom t-shirts and personalized items can be powerful tools for raising awareness and making a difference. Whether you want to support a cause, spread a message, or celebrate resilience, the right design can tell a story that resonates deeply. Today, we want to share an inspirational story from one of our customers that highlights the incredible impact that a simple t-shirt can have. Bentley Vaughn is a remarkable 16-month-old boy from Royston, Georgia. Despite his young age, Bentley has already shown extraordinary resilience and determination in the face of immense challenges. Bentley and his twin brother, Owen, were diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome while still in the womb. This rare condition caused an uneven blood flow between the twins, leading to serious complications. When Bentley and Owen were born prematurely at 26 weeks, the effects of the syndrome were immediately evident. Owen was pale and weak, while Bentley had an excess of nutrients and blood. Tragically, Bentley's left foot developed blood clots that cut off circulation, necessitating an amputation when he was just six months old. Overcoming Adversity with Strength and Support Despite this challenging start, Bentley has demonstrated incredible strength. With the help of his dedicated physical therapist, Jill Cannoy, and his supportive family, Bentley received a prosthetic foot and has been making remarkable progress. He can now stand, walk with assistance, and even take a few steps on his own. His brother Owen, who joins him during therapy sessions, serves as his motivation and workout buddy, illustrating the powerful bond between siblings. The Power of Custom T-Shirts in Making a Difference Bentley's story is a testament to human resilience and the importance of support systems. It's also a perfect example of how custom t-shirts and personalized items can play a significant role in raising awareness and showing support. Here are a few ways custom t-shirts can make a difference: Raising Awareness: Custom t-shirts can help spread the word about important issues, such as limb loss awareness. By wearing a t-shirt with a meaningful message, you can start conversations and educate others. Celebrating Achievements: Custom items can commemorate milestones and celebrate achievements. Bentley's journey is full of milestones worth celebrating, and a custom t-shirt can be a great way to honor his progress. Showing Support: Personalized t-shirts can be a source of encouragement and support for those facing challenges. For Bentley, seeing others wear t-shirts that celebrate his strength and determination can be incredibly uplifting. Fundraising: Custom t-shirts can be sold to raise funds for medical expenses, therapy, or research into programs like the Comprehensive Limb Difference Program at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA). For instance, the Vaughn's created these shirts specifically to raise money for CHOA's Comprehensive Limb Difference Program. This provided a tangible way for people to contribute to this cause! At our screen printing company, we are committed to helping you create custom t-shirts and items that matter. Whether you're looking to support a cause, celebrate an achievement, or spread a message, we can help you bring your vision to life. Bentley Vaughn's story reminds us of the significant impact we can make through our creativity and just a t-shirt. Let's join together to make a difference, one t-shirt at a time.
