My Name is Bailey Race …
or RaileyBacePrints.(depending on who you ask)
I have no idea what I’m doing half the time-
but I’m always swinging for the fences.
I’m an illustrator and creative director who is living and operating RBP out of Nashville, TN. I (Along with a very small team of wonderful people) am a full service creative offering anything from logo design to silkscreen posters, and most things in between. I operate primarily as the creative director of the band Mt. Joy, whom I’ve been with (somehow) since 2018, while also working with many fantastic artists and brands, and frankly anyone cool who will have me!
I’m largely self taught in design and illustration, with a history of studying architecture, photography, and printmaking at the Maryland Institute of Art in Baltimore, MD - while I didn't come out of my years in college with a degree, I did however come out with a DEEP love and appreciation for the arts, specifically the study of light and color. The better part of my adult life (so far) has been spent staring at as many forms of these two things as possible, and doing my absolute darndest to learn as much as I can along the way.
Some of my biggest influences are that of Movies, video games, comics, and anime - which will be my secret… unless you ask me, in which case I’ll talk your ear off about every single one.
Interested in working together? Reach out to my team through the “contact me” tab, we’d love to hear about your project!
