Pick of the Week — The Madow Brothers
This week’s Pick of the Week was created for an unusual band called The Madow Brothers…the team here
at Clayton really loved their story! “The Madow Brothers – Dr. Richard Madow and Dr. David Madow, are two dentists (and brothers) who have been teaching their colleagues how to have more successful practices and enjoy their profession more for over 22 years. In 1995, they had a crazy idea – that instead of being a boring snoozefest, a dental seminar could be like a rock concert. With that in mind they created [...]

Pick of the Week — Borrowed Time
This week’s Pick of the Week is for a Blues/Rock jam band/cover band in suburban Chicago called Borrowed Time. Here is a little about the band from guitarist Michael Sommerfeld: “What we really are is a bunch of old friends with wives and kids who started getting together at a studio on Thursday nights to just jam for the hell of it. After about 5 years we realized we were making some good music and we should start playing in front of people. So we started playing local [...]
Go All Out
We decided to showcase a couple of really nice overbleed custom pick designs. Overbleed, or full bleed, is an option for custom picks that allows you to create your design so that the art, graphics, photos, text, etc. will extend all the way to the very edge of the pick, instead of having a border around them. This simple change in the normal design process will allow for some really cool effects, like the picks shown below. The pick [...]
