San Antonio, Texas · Curious by nature

Serious work.
Unserious ideas.

For the idea that won’t leave you alone.

Thoughtful design, odd objects, and stories you can hold in your hands. Bring the half-formed sketch, the strange little notion, the “is this even possible?” We’ll work it out together.

Graphic design, character illustration, and custom fabrication by Fritz Dittmer in San Antonio, Texas.

Probably worth making.

Let’s make something
A little sideways thinking.

Take a gander.

Current specimens
I.

Print & identity

Logos, book covers, flyers, and brand materials that feel like they belong to you.

From the first impression to the fine print.

II.

Characters & worlds

Illustration, character design, and 3D sculpts for the people and creatures living in your imagination.

A face, a story, a little trouble.

III.

Objects & oddities

Props, costumes, sewn objects, and fictional ephemera. Things made to be handled, worn, or wondered about.

Built beyond the page.

02 / The studio

A studio for
“what if?”

I’m Fritz Dittmer, the designer and maker behind Pigeon Theory Press.

My work moves between graphic design, illustration, game development, and physical fabrication. I like finding the detail that makes an idea feel alive—and figuring out how to actually make it.

This is a collaborative studio. Your knowledge of your project matters as much as my knowledge of design. We start with a conversation, explore the possibilities, and shape the work together.

Roll a silhouette, a posture, a contradiction. Keep what catches your eye and draw someone you haven’t met yet.

03 / Your idea goes here

Something on
your mind?

You don’t need a perfect brief. Tell me what you’re imagining, what it’s for, and when you need it. We can find the starting point together.

Project inquiries, collaborations, and delightfully peculiar questions welcome.
