Actually, the "us" is me: Pete V.R. A veteran of the advertising industry and artist whose medium is brands.

One of those brands is Harbor Springer.™ If you want to contact me, jump here for the info. Or, read on if you have a minute.

My family spends a lot of time in Harbor Springs, Michigan. So much so that I consider myself a "Harbor Springer." And, as a would-be artist, I've set out to capture the spirit of this uncanny little nook on the globe.

But I'm not a "paint a pretty picture of the harbor," type of artist. Instead, I seek to pinpoint then extrapolate the essence of a subject, an idea or, in this case, a place—its atmosphere and attitude.

In Harbor Spring's case, it's just rich.

Rich with beauty. Rich with year-round activities. Rich with surrounding waters, forests and places to see.

Oh, and rich with rich people.

Lucy for you, I'm also not one of those "the rich are evil, down with capitalism" type artists either. So I'm celebrating all of Harbor Springs' riches by creating original, unique designs that capture every aspect of living (or wishing you could live) in and around Harbor Springs, Michigan. It started with my breezy, hand-drawn Harbor Springer springer spaniel logo, and I haven't stopped since, highlighting everything from yachting, to the trillium flowers that blanket the forest floors in spring, to the unapologetic joys of well-heeled relaxation—mostly with my tongue firmly in cheek, of course.

I'd like to think, at its core, the Harbor Springer brand is for the locals. The true "Harbor Springers" from all walks of life who always know how to take everything in stride.
