A new creative co-op is opening July 23 next to Mighty Fine Arts in the Tyler-Davis artists’ neighborhood. According to owner Austin Terrill, Incense & Peppermints (421 N. Tyler, 877.385.1199) is a creative design store. “We help artists, musicians, small businesses and nonprofits design logos, business cards and other branding materials, and we print and produce them as well,” Terrill says. “We also sell local, original art, screen-printed posters and shirts, and large-format canvas prints, as well as some vintage movie posters, antique tin signs, tote bags, retro toys, books and other trinkets.”

The Tyler-Davis neighborhood is apparently much greater than the sum of its parts. Terrill says “the girls from Oil and Cotton, myself and many other business owners have started a business owners association in accordance with our local council members in order to establish and brand ‘Tyler Davis’ as an up-and-coming, creative cultural district. Our platform for communicating with the community will be Tyler-Davis.org.
