There are many crafts you can do at home like toll painting, scrap booking or making a macrame owl, today we present Rusting. Inspired by the rusty panels that clad the Skybox clerestory, we brought a piece of steel inside, mounted it on the wall and have been misting it with salt water.

The swirls are from fingers moving the rust around before it gets crusty.

I used a pumus stick (Pumie brand) and it worked fantastic. Zud worked really well too. We probably had a combined 8 hours of scrubbing the massive amount of rust off using those products with a wire bristle brush, small scrub brush, and a rag. Then we moved it to the studio, wiped it down with a dry rag and brush and applied the navel jelly. It completely coated and neutralized the oxidation.

We plan on painting the litho press soon too.

Thanks to all the writers!

After a disastrous last weekend trying to bench this spot and being chased away by like 800 bikers, I went back this weekend and managed to be out here for a little over 5 hours without issue. 11:30 AM - 5 PM.

Not to say that there wasn't some sketchiness going on, but when you're out for hours your bound to see some shit going down. It's usually just homeless shenanigans, but I leave them alone and they leave me alone. Everyone just kinda' gets along and minds their own business. Just how I like it.

Spotted some AMAZING pieces today. Some of my favorite writers doing their best work, and not so best work, but seeing their work makes going out there worth it to me.

The added benefit: I got out of the house for a few hours, didn't think about work, life, the f-ing Covid, or anything else besides spotting some great pieces and getting the best shots of those pieces I could. Good times.

700+ shots this session, culled down to a little under 600. A lot of shots, yeah. But, every time I take a shot I'm documenting something that might get buffed next week and it will be gone forever. Documenting art that could vanish in a week, a month, a year.. Who knows. Either way, I've captured it, and will share it for as long as I can.

All in all, it was a good day.

Garnet is a ghost town near Butte, Montana and these are some rusted can preserved from it's boom town days.

To get to this ghost town I drove up this narrow dirt road on a steep hill for about a hour without any real knowledge that this ghost town actually existed.
