Why start an Artist Series?
“We believe there is something irreplaceable about human-made art, the intention behind every line, the lived experiences behind every concept, and the subtle imperfections that make a piece truly feel alive.”
-Shari Benko
At GoodBird.store, we’ve always believed that what you wear on the course should tell a story, about your game, your confidence, and your connection to the sport. That’s why we’re incredibly excited to introduce the GoodBird.store Artist Series, a new collection dedicated to showcasing original artwork from talented creators who share our passion for disc golf and design.
We’re proud to kick off this series with Jessica Jaklich, whose work brings a unique blend of precision, symbolism, and storytelling to the course. Her designs reflect both the mental focus and the expressive freedom that define disc golf, transforming performance apparel into wearable art.
Why an Artist Series?
As the creative world evolves, we’re seeing an explosion of AI-generated imagery across industries. While these tools have their place, we believe there is something irreplaceable about human-made art, the intention behind every line, the lived experiences behind every concept, and the subtle imperfections that make a piece truly feel alive.
The GoodBird.store Artist Series is our way of honoring that.
We want to create a platform where artists are not only featured but celebrated. Where their work is worn, shared, and experienced on courses across the country. This series is about keeping creativity human, supporting real artists, and bringing deeper meaning to the apparel you love.
Designed for the Course, Inspired by the Artist
Each piece in the Artist Series is built on the same performance-first foundation you expect from GoodBird:
Lightweight, breathable fabrics
Movement-friendly fits designed for real play
Functional details for long rounds and changing conditions
But what sets this collection apart is the artwork itself, thoughtfully integrated into each garment to enhance both style and identity on the course.
Jessica’s debut design is just the beginning.
About Jessica Jaklich in her own words…
“I’m a self-taught artist who’s explored a wide range of creative outlets—from running my own permanent makeup business specializing in hyper-realistic brows, to crocheting, to now designing custom disc golf art.
What started as Sharpie art on a few discs quickly turned into a true passion. After my fiancé shared some of my work, I had the opportunity to connect with Shari for this collaboration, and I couldn’t be more excited about this opportunity!
Partnering with a female-owned, female-focused brand is a dream come true. Creating pieces that are both functional and visually striking—something you can wear or throw on the course and still call art—has been one of the most rewarding creative experiences in my journey thus far!”
What’s Next
The Artist Series will continue to grow, featuring new artists, new perspectives, and new ways to bring art into the game. Whether you're stepping onto the tee pad or heading out for the day, these pieces are designed to help you express not just how you play—but who you are.
We’re honored to start this journey with Jessica, and we can’t wait to share what’s coming next.
