The South Carolina BBQ Project (Signed Copy)
Part history, part design study, and part love letter to the state’s most treasured foodway, The South Carolina BBQ Project explores the culture of barbecue in the Palmetto state. Through hand-painted signs, roadside architecture, styrofoam plates, and everyday ephemera, Spainhour reveals how design shapes our sense of authenticity, memory, and tradition. This book blends storytelling, visual research, and cultural history to offer a fresh perspective on one of the South’s most iconic foodways.

Limited Edition SC Sauce Map Screen Print

This is a hand screen-printed version of the BBQ sauce map In the book. It is based on the map in South Carolina: The Making of a Landscape, a 1989 research project by professors Charles F. Kovacik and John J. Winberry of the University of South Carolina.

I originally made it out of actual barbecue sauces poured into a wooden stencil, and photographing them (messy process, lol). This Is a 3-color version of it, hand screen-printed in my studio.
