SilencerCo – Salvo 12 Turkey Hunt
Monday, April 20th, 2015“Making It”
Thursday, April 9th, 2015‘Making It‘ is a documentary focusing on three working artists. One of them is my friend Andrew Bawidamann who has made quite a name for himself as a tactical artist.
Andrew had this to say:
So much went into making “making it”. It is still difficult to believe that it is actually finished and being released. We really wanted to make an HONEST DOCUMENTARY, not a 1.5 hour commercial for ourselves all the while trying to convince everyone how profound and cool we are so you buy our stuff. Check it out and enjoy the ride.
I’m a big fan of Sci-Fi/Fantasy and pinup art and really enjoyed the documentary. I stand in awe of their talent and do what I can to support their work. After all, these men are working artists, meaning this is how they pay their bills. All too often, I see their art used by those who don’t compensate them for their work. What I prefer to see, are folks supporting them as they can, by purchasing art in one form or another. With Andrew, he moved early on from prints to t-shirts and patches. Now, his work has extended to fusing art and hard goods such as pistol grips, knives and axes. His latest project of magazine pouches has had more of a design aspect than traditional art, but it is more than appreciated.
We don’t have many artists who specialize in tactical subjects. Since most of us enjoy their work, let’s do what we can to support them. One thing you can do is watch this documentary if only to raise your awareness of the challenges these artists face.

In my eyes, Andrew has made it but I hope that he keeps on pushing the envelope and cranking out new art.

PenCott Camouflage Shows Up On ‘House Of Cards’
Friday, March 20th, 2015Hyde Definition’s PenCott BadLands and GreenZone camouflage patterns are featured in the latest season of ‘House of Cards’. The full release can be read below, and beware, there are some spoilers:
Hyde Definition’s cutting-edge PenCott-BadLands™ and PenCott-GreenZone™ camouflage patterns continue to show up in interesting places – this time they are featured in Season 3 of the award-winning Netflix drama “House of Cards”.
Caution, this announcement carries a SPOILER ALERT…
Seen in a crucial and dramatic segment of Season 3; PenCott™ camouflage patterns are seen in use by ‘Russian’ soldiers taking part in a peacekeeping mission in the Middle East. The Russian soldiers are seen wearing BadLands™ uniforms, whereas GreenZone™ uniforms are worn by the Russian officers and by Russian President Petrov. All of the PenCott camouflage uniforms used are the CPU (Combat Patrol Uniform) model made by Polish company Helikon-Tex.
In the latter part of Chapter 36, US President Underwood and Russian President Petrov hold a secret meeting in the Jordan Valley to try and resolve a crisis concerning the peacekeeping mission there. In the segment President Underwood (played by Emmy Award winning actor Kevin Spacey) wears an OCP/MultiCam ACU, and President Petrov (played by Danish actor Lars Mikkelsen – renowned for his roles in ‘The Killing’ and ‘Sherlock’) wears a GreenZone™ CPU.
As real Russian Army ‘Digital-Flora’ uniforms are hard to come by, the ‘House of Cards’ costume department selected GreenZone™ and BadLands™ pattern uniforms as stand-ins. Together with help from their retail partners, and with MMI Textiles also helping to supply some spare fabric, Hyde Definition and Helikon-Tex were able to rapidly assemble the sizes and quantities of uniforms and caps that were needed and deliver them in time to meet a tight filming schedule.

The partnership between ZEV and Brain Farm is now coming to light – with the release of a series of videos captured during that time. The videos highlight ZEV’s top tier products, and Brain Farm’s incredible visual effects and cinematography.
