About Us
About Us
We're all different. Many of us are not great with starting conversations. Others may be able to sell ice to an Eskimo. Either way, wearing Christian clothing can be a great conversation starter and the first step to witnessing.
Since Adam an Eve ate "the apple" (or so we believe...and no, not the iPad/Pod/Phone type of Apple), we've been clothed in one way or another. Since we are now instructed by God to be covered, why not use creative ways to witness, lift up and bring Praise & Honour to the name of God.
There is nothing wrong with non-Christian based clothing but wearing a Christian shirt when possible will open up many conversations and opportunities to be a powerful witness for God.
According to an American survey a well worn shirt is seen by more than 20,000 people in it's lifetime.
That means that potentially 7000 shirts could be seen by 140 million people..!!!
Now that's why we do what we do.
Celestial Studios also provides a platform for a network of global Christian designers working in the creative industry laying their talents down for the Lord Jesus to use.
It is a non-denominational ministry committed to changing the world around us. The profits generated empowers Christian designers to showcase their faith to the world through their own unique God-Given abilities and pay's them for their work.
In addition to this, we are also extremely committed to missionary work in Africa that has a practical application. Along with preaching the Gospel, we believe in building Schools, Clinics, teaching Business Skills, supplying Water & Electricity to the remote areas in which we minister, showing people what we believe rather than just telling them. Talk is often cheap.
By purchasing one of our products or helping us sell them contributes to this vision.
Celestial Studios is directed by:

Hayes Cunningham - Director
With over 10 years experience in the Advertising & Graphic Design world in both London and South Africa, I decided to put my talents behind this truly great vision that started in 1995.
I believe in the power of a Brand. A brand is much like our testimony, it's how people perceive us to be and expect us how to behave.
|
Christianity, whether we like it or not, has a brand of it's own based on what we have done in the past. I hope that in some small way we will be able to contribute positively to the brand of Christianity and how Jesus wanted it to be.
In the secular world we have done work for Coca-Cola, Unilever, NHS UK, Walt Disney, Energizer, Spar, Ola (Walls), The Hub S.A, Spun Green Media U.S.A and many more. Our creative abilities have also been used to design many album covers for global bands & are outsource partners to many Advertising agencies.
This has enabled us to build up a powerful network of christian creatives to produce the highest quality products for the highest quality message.
Only the best will do as God Himself gave us only His best.

Luke Comins - Designer
Having being involved in design and advertising for 20 years I have seen a lot of art & design both inspiring - and awful. A lot of branding representing many companies or organisations probably does them more harm than good, and so it is with the Christian sphere. We are to represent the Master designer, to be inspired and ignited by Him in our living and our message, in a way that is unique, true and different to the crowd.

Spending most of my career working on branding and marketing material for softdrink brands, household & personal care products and the likes can be so meaningless in the eternal perspective, so being involved in a venture such as Celestial Studios has truly been an incredible blessing.
It has been just over a decade and, praise God, Celestial Studios is still in orbit. Revolving around the Son. Always striving to provide believers with an excellent and eye-catching range of merchandise that will cast light into the darkness and help you stand boldly in the knowledge that you belong to the one true awe-inspiring and soul-saving God.
Romans 13 vs 12-13: ...and let us put on the armour of light.. the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
