Eye. Mind. Hand.
All great design is crafted on these three foundations. Great design is rooted in clear vision. Great design is rooted in careful thought. Great design is rooted in skilled hands. Whether you are just visiting or you have a project in mind, I hope that my work is an inspiration to you.
I’m Caleb Faires, artist and designer.
I live in the hills of middle Tennessee.
I design, illustrate and sculpt.
In a world that consumes more than it creates,
and that sacrifices longevity for convenience,
I aim to slow down and craft something beautiful.
WHAT I DO
BRAND DESIGN
When customers encounter your company, what do they see? Good brand identity design can be a key part of your strategy to engage customers, attract investors, communicate effectively, clarify your vision, and inspire action. We can work together to make sure your branding sets you apart and communicates your vision to both your team and your customers.
What is included in visual brand design?
Every brand has unique needs. We’ll work to make sure you
have what you need, which may include:
Logo Colors
Typography Templates
Illustration Brand Guidelines
ILLUSTRATION
Illustration is one of the most powerful means of communication. From ancient cave drawings and heraldic devices to modern picture books and brandmarks, illustration communicates in a deeply human way. It can tell a story, simplify ideas, engage emotions and inspire imagination.
How can illustration enrich your home, define your brand, or tell your story?
I’ve spent over a decade illustrating maps, books, brandmarks, lettering projects, portraits and private commissions. Whether you need spot illustration or a fully illustrated book, I can help.
Let’s explore how I can help you with your illustration needs.

EYE-CATCHING DESIGN
Great print design can make all the difference in the world if you are pursuing a self-publishing project. Whether you need album and poster design, book cover design, book typesetting or layout design, a well designed project can make a self-published work look as professional as one from a traditional publishing house.
MAKE IT STAND OUT
How we communicate is part of what we communicate. From newsletters to novels, the arrangement of image, text and empty space affects how our audience perceives our message.
If you need a book, a poster, or a menu, I can help. Investing in quality design is a way of investing in your customers, and can be a significant factor to how you compete in the market.

FIGURATIVE SCULPTURE
Sculpture holds immense value as a timeless medium that captures the essence of humanity, emotion, and history. It can serve as powerful vehicle for storytelling, preserving the likenesses of individuals and significant moments in a tangible and visceral way that resonates deeply with viewers across cultures and generations. The fine arts challenge us to see the world differently. In a world dominated by the face-paced and transient, sculpture has a unique way of challenging us to slow down and ponder more deeply the weight and impact of the human experience.
I sculpt original works in plastelina clay which I then cast at the foundry into timeless works of bronze. Whether you are interested in commissioning a family portrait, a historical figure, or a commemorative work, I would love to explore how my skillset can help meet your need.
AN ENDURING STATEMENT
Portrait and commemorative sculpture is an invaluable asset that enriches the human experience. Sculpture’s ability to capture the human condition and preserve history in an emotionally resonant and aesthetically pleasing way, enables it to contribute to our intellectual growth, our understanding of history, and the beautification of our surroundings.
