When something ends, another begins. Winter is a rising’.

We’re walking in the “Out of the darkness community walk” this weekend in Fargo to remember family and friends and hopefully raise needed ongoing funds for suicide prevention. Put together this little lockup for T-shirts that commemorate our 3 family members that we lost to suicide within the last 18 months. Talk to people. We never know how much someone might be hurting.

Went back to the roots and kicked it old school tonight. A friend had an iphoto of a badass '70 Super Bee, but needed it re-created for a show poster. I'd be ok doing these everday. . . #MidwestRod&Custom #SuperBee #kustomkulture #G4

Really, really, late night abstract iPhoto as i clean up the screen printing artifacts in the home studio… #screenprinting #slingingink

Ink slinging is a wrap on this one color print! First of 2017, after taking a break for a while. Feeling energized and refreshed! . . . #minnesota #minnesotamade #blueox #screenprinting #printaintdead #G4DCo #studioshot #lakeregion #pioneer #threshers #nonprofit #Dalton #folklore #paulbunyan

On press tonight…Sometimes it’s hard not to get distracted by the textures and color, or lack of, that are left on the press when setting up alignment and making test prints on scrap material. The absolute best part of crafting a design is when you can finally see a printed tactile piece–print isn’t dead. .

In the north everyone needs a reliable homemade bottle opener made from early 1900’s era barn wood! I collected a bunch of barnwood from my wife’s Great-Grandparents old farm in Shelly, MInnesota that was set to be raised. They were one of the original settlers in that town. The old barn was very impressive.

​Birch bark in Minnesota...from the land of ice and snow.

A time for giving...Craft beer Christmas gift getting close to a wrap!
