Today we share. Our slice of life, the space that gives us room to breath. The piece of sanity it allows us in life. See you at Fall Fest!

One. Just like that. Blink. 💔 Life is fast. Slowing down to soak it up. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpABvxrFSjV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c8ma0cply0sd

New work for @beatnikstudios in Sacramento. A massive 48”x60” Eucalyptus is inked and drying. One print will be up for grabs off this massive 2000lb slice of tree starting October 5th 6-9pm for the opening reception through November 2nd. The first print pulled will go to the property owners who helped me cut, move and deliver the stump to my studio. #stavnworks #eastbayartist #woodcut #woodcutprint #blockprint #reliefprint #bryannashgill #vsco #vscocam #vscofilter https://www.instagram.com/p/BoebA8_lW3o/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=acrhh7ucaszp

That ludicrous 42” bar on my chainsaw WAS totally necessary. We pulled a 2000lb slice off of a felled eucalyptus in the canyon. Measuring a flat surface to ink around 42x60inches. I just pulled the first prints last night one for @beatnikstudios in Sacramento, and another going to the family who spent the better part of a day cutting, lifting and transporting this monster stump to the studio with me. #eastbayartist #woodcut #husqvarna #farmlife #eucalyptus #woodprint #bryannashgill #stavn #stavnworks https://www.instagram.com/p/Bob6neDFfPA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f3agynmgmxj0

New hobby, who dis? #tbt or really Saturday when I had a moment to zone out and try my hand growing clay. Currently I’m sitting in a brief moment to myself surrounded by work to be done, so many new things - lots of hard hard physically exhausting work. I have never worked so hard and been so driven to keep going. The best part is, I see the drive pickup steam in my family. Leif wants to do just a bit more to help. Jessie is filling all the gaps I can’t seem to pull it together for. I guess this is a moment of pride in the stress... that families pull tighter when it gets real. Something fun happens brining the family along for the adventure, I recommend it. #start #workhard #hardwork #mikerowe #fabrication #california #millwork #woodshop #artlife #clay #pottery #vsco #vscocam #eastbay https://www.instagram.com/p/BmkVNk-F_OT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l0o8zrrs85eo

Today I am drilling holes. It’s not thaaat fun, but I am doing it. I am doing it to turn the ship around for hard work, for work that is labor. I am determined to bring up a resurgence of hard work. Work that yields rough hands, sweat, and blood. Work that yields life, a decent feeling at the end of the day. Work that is accomplished. It’s bigger than me. It’s going to be so so much grander than anything I’ve seen. Let’s go! #followyourdreams #hardwork #anthonybourdain #inspired #dirtyjobs #mikerowe #bluecollar #california #eastbay #workhard #millwork #woodshop #fabrication #vsco #vscocam cheers @jamesvictore something you said is burning it up.

New find. New everything. This week is overwhelming exciting and it’s a lot of work. More lumber goodness to come. #followyourdreams #fabrication #woodshop #millwork #start #showup #california #eastbay #workhard #bluecollar #labor

The beer that started it all for me in 2007. I took a quick trip to Ft Collins Colorado just after we moved to Chicago. Our hosts insisted on a tasting at New Belgium, so we obliged. A few interesting beers and one stopped me dead in my tracks LaFolie - its name asks you to follow your folly and that’s where you will find your true joy. Eleven years later it finds me, bottled in 2007 from THE SAME BATCH!!!!!! As I fall deeper into following my folly. Guess it’s time to build things out of wood, and be just naive enough to think I can make it. Cheers, follow your folly. I’ll drink to that. #followyourdreams #realtalk #start #fabrication #beer #sourbeer #newbelgium #california #eastbay #oakland #ordinaire #goodbeerhunting #goodbeer #batchbrewing #barrelbeer #vsco #vscox (at Ordinaire)

One of my all-time favorite photos as a dad. I hope this one gets shared by my kids when I am more seasoned by grey hair and poor eyesight. These are my boys, #stavnboys taken by their lovely mother @simplyjessie . . . . #california #followyourdreams #dadbod #dad #parenting #kids #realtalk #selfie #eastbay #hellaeastbay #beyou #beyourself #bewhoyouare

Scout paint report. I’ve been working to find a way to get down to the original paint under this layercake. There isn’t much left unfortunately 😑. Looks like it might be time to start from scratch... does it help that there are goats in the background 🐐 #patina #internationalharvester #scout #scout80 #scout800 #newlegend #anythingscout #4x4 #adventuremobile #california #vsco #vscox
