The design is the latest in a series of poster images featuring everything from armadillos to long-horn cattle, Atlantic City’s “Lucy the Elephant” and even rapper Snoop Dogg—many of them the brainchild of Texas-based graphic designer Alyx Spurrier, the creator of this latest roadrunner design as well. Actual printing of the posters will be done by renowned screen-printer Brian Potash of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based Devilfish Ink.
As in expos past, the posters will be created and distributed over the course of the show to help raise funds for one of the many not-for-profits the Ink Kitchen has helped out over the years, the Presbyterian Night Shelter’s Upspire employment opportunities program in nearby Fort Worth.
Complementing the Ink Kitchen’s poster-printing fundraiser, a number of other expo exhibitors will be offering their support for Upspire as well, including:
- Saati
- STAHLS’
- Chromaline
- JERZEES
- Howard Custom Transfers
- Avient
- Sanmar
- Easiway
- Los Angeles Apparel
- SPSI
- M&R
- Kiwo
The Ink Kitchen will also be collecting any and all leftover blank T-shirts at the end of the expo, which it will then make available to the Presbyterian Night Shelter and Upspire. Already in 2025, the Ink Kitchen, which also organizes Impressions Expo’s long-running “Shop Talk” series, has raised $18,150 for Care Closet LBC at Impressions Expo Long Beach and $8,200 for Adelaide’s Place at Impressions Expo Atlantic City.
