Avast! Flostsam off the starboard! Aweigh the anchor!

Die at the Helm is exploring its nautical roots with a new wallet design.  Maritime merriment can commence with the introduction of these red and blue beauties.





 The seams of every wallet are trimmed and securely reinforced. So weigh anchor, trice your sails, and beware of the captain's daughter.





Wallets are available on my Etsy site and at Tender Loving Empire in downtown Portland.

Illicitly - in a manner disapproved or not allowed by custom.

A picture of Aramee Diethelm wearing a tshirt that she hand silkscreened


There is some debate around what qualifies as art. Graffiti is sometimes considered the expression of an artist and other times viewed only as a crime.


This particular image is the result of a brief scribbling with a paint marker. 





I have reworked this vandalism into a tshirt design. I did this at the prompting of a friend who liked the simple anonymous statement.

Straight out of the men's room and into the streets of Portland...
