Tangram 7-Piece Patch From Maxpedition

Monday, July 8th, 2013

Sure, morale patches are intended to entertain, but as art. The Tangram from Maxpedition on the other hand, can entertain because you can reconfigure its 7 Hook-backed geometric pieces into a variety of shapes. I guess you could call it the first modular morale patch.

For example, you could make a cat. But the variations or myriad.

“Until It Hurts Prints” Now Available from Wounded Wear

Friday, June 28th, 2013

Last year I was asked to spend the morning of September 11th with a friend as he fired one 7.62 round for each Navy SEAL lost since the War on Terror began 11 years before. The goal of this exercise was to create a canvas for multimedia artist Ellwood T. Risk. SOCS Dave Hall, (USN, Ret.) placed 79 shots unto the target beginning the moment the first plane hit the World Trade Center.

The result of the effort is called “Until It Hurts” and the original was auctioned off earlier this year for $17,500. Now, prints of the piece are available through Wounded Wear. We purchased a canvas print just yesterday. Get yours.
