Elemoose

The world has lost Dolly Parton.

Our hearts go out to her family and friends, to our mutual friends and associates at Herschend Family Entertainment, and to the countless fans who found hope, comfort, laughter, and solace in her work.

Dolly had a remarkable gift for making people feel welcome. She celebrated people from all walks of life and carried a spirit of kindness and inclusion that reached far beyond music and entertainment. She understood that there was room at the table for everybody, and she spent a lifetime inviting people in.

Elemoose was and is especially proud to have played a small part in the Dolly Parton legacy through our work with Herschend on the Dollywood theme park. To have helped build some of the signs and environments that became part of a place created to bring families joy is something we will always treasure.

Dolly’s light was a big one. Her music, her generosity, her humor, and the happiness she gave to so many will continue to echo for generations.

Dolly Parton’s generosity lives on through the Dollywood Foundation and its many efforts to help children and families. It’s another wonderful part of her lasting legacy.

Rest well, Dolly. And thank you for leaving the world brighter than you found it.

From the Ghost of Elemoose:

It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of John Edward Baldwin, known to us all as Big John. At 74, he left this world on February 25, 2025, but his spirit, his laughter, and his artistry will forever echo through the halls of Garage Graphics and Elemoose.

John was more than a painter, more than an artist—he was a presence. His talent left its mark on countless projects, but it was his warmth and generosity that truly shaped those around him. Towering in stature and even greater in heart, his laugh could be heard across the shop, bringing light to even the longest days.

If you have any photos of Big John or memories you’d like to share, please post them in the comments. Whether it was a joke he told, a project he poured his talent into, or just a moment where his presence made the day a little brighter, we’d love to hear your stories. Let’s celebrate the man, the artist, and the friend he was to so many.

His impact is undeniable. His absence will be deeply felt. But if you listen closely in the quiet of the workshop, you might just hear that laughter still.

Rest easy, Big John. You were one of the greats.

Contributed from the wild: a fellow ‘Moose and true believer Ryan Rhudy, keeping the spirit of Elemoose alive! It warms my ghostly heart to see our legacy represented out there, even in these frosty days.

As the snow blankets the world in its sparkling beauty, I wish you all a fun and safe snowy winter wonderland this weekend. May your hearts stay warm, your paths stay clear, and your memories of our shared adventures bring a little extra glow to the new year!

Stay magical,
The Ghost of Elemoose Past 👻
