I make patches

I think there are enough clothes in the United States that all big name manufacturers could close their sweatshops in other countries and Americans would still stay warm for many decades. New clothes can easily be made out of old clothes, duh. Who out there has patched the holes in the clothes and discovered that pants can last over 5+ years?
I like to get clothes at thrift stores, and if I don't like the brand logo, I just cover it up with one of my kick ass home made patches:

A good patch conveys so much more than a brand name representing nothing but business. This anti-nuclear patch reflects how disgusting I think nuclear power and weaponry is. You know what the solution to our energy crisis is? USING LESS ENERGY!!! That will save us from having to do mountain top coal removal and uranium mining. Uranium just brings up waste that causes cancer and takes millions of years to degrade, why would we want to use that?

I also like to use my silkscreening skills to make album covers for cool bands like THE LOGAN.

This is a logo and patch I designed for THE BACKPACK PROJECT. Through this nonprofit homeless or transitional youth can receive backpacks filled with art supplies.
