This weekend was crazy productive. CRUSHING IT! All tees now have custom labels (hand stamped by yours truly) and we screen printed a whole new line of packaging that we’ll be mailing out starting this week. Glossy black ink on a sturdy kraft mailer. Pretty classy if you ask me but it’d probably best not to take my word for it. Head over to the shop and grab this month’s tee on product design and you’ll get to see one of these beauties in person.
After our workshop with Rob & Lisa we wanted to create a simple framework to explore the concepts addressed. At the start of our Thursday session we watched the above video recapping Today, a project by one of my favorite designer/artists - Jonathan Harris. Afterwards we discussed his project and the constraints we’d like to impose on ourselves for ours. The result was OurThreeThirty.
The concept is simple: take a photo everyday at 3:30pm regardless of where you are or what you’re doing. The object is to find beauty whether your surroundings are monotonous or magical. Then submit what you’ve captured into an open pool of other 3:30′s. The resulting collection with celebrate the differences (and similarities) in the way we experience time, space, light and life.
We want you to join us in this project. To view our 3:30′s and submit your own head to ourthreethirty.tumblr.com.
So pumped about this. Geoffrey Holstad (guest artist & friend) has a new project that kicked off this morning at 5AM. Cabin Time.
Cabin-Time is a series of intense art-making excursions to remote locations in Michigan and beyond. The project is loosely designed to be a focused creative experience, making site-specific and site-influenced artwork (personal and collaborative) in the company of your inspiring peers. The trip itself and its documentation are as integral to the project as the work being made.
Four Days. Zero Showers. Eight Artists (four of whom we’ve been lucky enough to make tees with). Excited to see the body of work that comes out of the project. Some of our favorite people in attendance – Christina Mrozik, Geoffrey Holstad, Ryan Greaves, Adam Wolpa, Pat Perry, Sam Snedeker, Drew Melton, and Colin McCarthy. So great.
BBC brilliance.

OurThreeThirty is an open exploration of the monotony and magic that happens mid-afternoon. Take a photo everyday at 3:30pm and post it here.
