I've been spending the last year working with computer generated artwork (coded in the processing language) and realizing that with a pen plotter. I've also started working with foraged / natural pigments, and once spring is here I expect that to take center stage.
Here's a few of my personal highlights.
ink on paper
ink + charcoal on paper
foraged pigment (ochre from a local stream in this case) on paper
I've been sitting with this for a few days not knowing what to say. Absolutely gutted to hear this news.
I'm not around much anymore, but I still swing through these parts from time to time. Mike has been a consistent source of joy and enthusiasm on the forum for a good long while. He had a real generosity of spirit. Most times I popped in, would be followed up with a kind private word from Mike, just to say hi or the help me hunt down a piece I'd been looking for. Our brief conversations always brightened my day. This community is better off for having known him.
On the grand scale of things, this seems so small, but I would've never given the 21oz overalls a shot if not for Mike. I can't really imagine working in anything else now. Truly, the filthy effect in action. Now they will always be a nice reminder of him.
Rest up Mike, and much love to all of your family.
As always, can’t say enough good things about these. Always regretted missing out on the first round of cords…
Haven't been tempted by a pair of boots in a while, but these are just the right kind of wild
Thanks, man — just trying to gather some good reference, wanna avoid having to send em back to swap or (gasp) sending em back without the desired swap size in stock and having to wait again.
Combing through the Brotherhood thread, was wondering — @emceeQ how tall are you and what size did you get?
I'm 5'11 and ~170lb. I went size 34, with a 29" hem. I've got ~1" cuff double rolled for a ~27" inseam to make these fit how I like with my brewery boots.
For reference I've been wearing 34 with a 29" hem in the 888 fit as of late as well.
Here is quick snap from a few moments ago…
I'll add to the chorus and say that these are my preferred pants to wear while brewing during the summer. Even when it's the hottest in the brewery (100F +) these are super breezy and comfortable to wear.
Amazing @Giles ! So stoked for you and @Madame Buttonfly. Can't wait to see what kind of adventures you get up to
Quick snap at the brewery this morning…
Today we are brewing up a batch of a new IPA featuring a hop called Idaho 7.
We are also carbonating an imperial stout to get it ready for packaging, and it's mighty tasty. Very excited to get this one into cans.
Was debating which thread to put this picture in, but here seemed appropriate. Thanks for spreading all the bib love @Filthy wouldn't have picked these up if it weren't for you, and they are by far my favorite bit of work wear now…
And because my coworker decided to get funny with the fisheye…
@sabergirl 100%. This past summer I left a job that had an objectively horrible impact on my mental health, to the point I was considering checking myself in to an inpatient facility. The problem was the health insurance was so good, and my insurance options elsewhere so bad, that I was seriously considering trying to stick around.
Now I'm somewhere that I'm super happy, but anytime I go to the doctor it feels like I'm gambling with finances. Not to mention that I'm back to essentially paying out of pocket for mental health care.
Without even going into the disparities of rural health care, it's a seriously screwed up system.

Clint has a couple of these for sale in the green right now, my friend! Check the buying/selling. [emoji6]
Thanks to you (and @Filthy and @Clint_D ) the FOMO is soon to be NOMO. The stoke-age is real
Great idea for a thread @Filthy
For me, it will always be the IHW-06 in Green
The upcoming wool bush jacket will almost do the trick, but that shade of green is very close to a jacket my grandfather had.
Has anybody owned a goruck GR1 and would be happy to share their thoughts? I’m considering one, I bought a blue de chauffe woody less than a year ago thinking it would be the one, but and am finding it to be a bit pants, want the next one to be right!
I'm happy with the one I have. It's been 7/8 years now and I use it mostly as a travel pack. It gets the job done and has proven to be pretty bombproof
Such a great record @Filthy
I've really been digging on what Grime Stone Records has been putting out this year.
This one in particular is a really well played black metal record, but the band commits to the bit and it's silly as hell. As one of my friends said, "the horns go toot." Lots of melodrama
Saw Gilmore Girls mentioned in this thread. That's been a long time comfort watch of mine. I've seen it more times than I care to admit…
Also, rom coms. You've Got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle are two of my favorite movies. Also, just recently watched Bridget Jones's Diary for the first time and absolutely loved it 
@Filthy I put in a few hours on Dread yesterday. Seems like it's going to be real winner. Loving it so far, and the fast paced EMMI sequences are nice way to punctuate the usual Metroid atmosphere and to add some real tension
