Dustin Grella has dirty hands

  In case you didn’t know, this is Dusty. Half man, half machine, he pumps out animations on chalkboards. His process is an interesting one. Dusty will set the camera on a timer to take a picture every minute then draws all over his chunk of slate with pastels and

Twigs Woodwear

Influences can come in many shapes and sizes. For Cade Mangelson, CEO and Owner of Twigs Woodwear, his influence and inspiration spills out of a Mary Poppins-esque bag of good memories and fun times with friends and family. Cade’s grass roots are linked to his work at Twigs because of

Vignettes

I don’t remember how I found out about Vignettes but it wasn’t through Sierra Stinson who I saw (and still see) on a daily basis and who also happens to be it’s founder. She seems to keep all her cool-ness under pretty good wrap. She’s not one to flaunt. Someone
