Foster Brothers Q&A

What inspired the creation of Foster Brothers Design Co.?
Both of our jobs require a constant flow of creative energy, and we end up having a lot of ideas that have nowhere to land. We just text stupid drawings back and forth to entertain ourselves. Well, we decided to build a webstore where some of these ideas can live!
We grew up in a funny, creative family in Minnesota and when any birthday or holiday comes around, the goal is never to impress with how much money you spend. The goal is always to see how hard you can make someone laugh, so most of the ideas are aimed squarely at the funny bone.
What other projects have you worked on together before this?
Most recently, my company (Pennyroyal) designed and manufactured the Guns N Roses fan club package, which included a hoodie and a custom enamel pin set. The set of 4 pins called for a design to represent with the song Absurd, so I sent the stage video to Rob with a few notes and he drew the Medusa design that was ultimately used in the 2022 Guns N Roses pin set. We grew up secretly watching MTV in the basement, so this was a full-circle-moment for us!
What are your plans for the future of Foster Brothers Design Co.
We shall see! There is no shortage of ideas. For now, we are just having some fun and entertaining ourselves with our combined experience. We plan to keep reinvesting in more involved products, so who knows where we'll be in a few years!
