It’s been a crazy 10 days here in the Shed. My oldest son, Colin, graduated from college last Friday and I couldn’t be more proud of him. The weather was perfect and the ceremonies were great. He’s a great guy and I can’t wait to…
This post is a little rundown of essential drawing tools I like to bring with me when I travel. I got the idea from all the Everyday Carry (EDC) photos out there (mostly here and here) and from a few bloggers I have seen over…
