Grain Artist Series

Local Artist Collaborations for Local Good

Each year, Grain teams up with a local artist to explore a design for a local cause.

It is with incredible sadness that we share the sudden passing of Steven “Alawishus” Johnson. In light of this tragedy, Friends of Cape Henlopen State Park have graciously asked that proceeds instead go to his wife. A GoFundMe has also been established in his name.

2021’s Artist:
Steven Alawishus

Steven Alawishus is a Delaware born illustrator who experiments with both digital art and hand printed woodcuts. Steven has degrees from both DCAD and MICA but found himself falling in love with southern Delaware living. As a nature enthusiast he loves surf fishing, bike rides at the cape, and long drives along the coast with his wife.

2021’s Cause:

Ride The Wave

Steven wanted to capture all the nature and activity possible at Cape Henlopen State Park. His design combines biking, water fun and nature perfectly, just like Delaware’s Cape Henlopen State Park does.
