Our camp neighbors and friend at @fieldnotesbrand @coudal just released our favorite series yet: The 64th Quarterly Limited Edition for fall, 2024 : The Birds and Trees of North America Edition, featuring the artwork of Rex Brasher (18691960).A blast attending their launch event at the Field Notes headquarters (gorgeous offices, gallery & showroom)They also made an incredible short doc telling the story of Rex & his work (a must-see) on their site.@heidimcoudal brought another great spread with her @bigdeliciousplanet team and @solemnoathbeer @hiddenhandbeer stocking our Wandawega Georges Nickel Ale alongside our other favorite brew: the New Field Notes Charming Beer. (Were obsessed with the design of the can, the webbed chair. The tote bag, every detail nailed.) Weve been fans of Field notes brand for too many years to count. So much that we partnered with @ClaytonandCrume to make leather journal carriers for our own customized Wandawega Field Notes that they made for us. ABOUT (the newest – and we think best yet) SERIES:Rex Brashers artistic talent, love of nature, technical expertise, and persistence offer an inspiring story that should be better known by anyone with an interest in birds, nature, or art. From a young age, Brasher committed to visiting all of Americas bird species in their natural habitats. He spent a lifetime traveling, collecting notes and drawings, writing personal, insightful descriptions, and painting and re-painting birds. By the late 1920s, Brasher nearly 60 years old was finally satisfied with his paintings, and set out to publish a collection of his work. Unhappy with color printing options at the time, Brasher had the paintings reproduced in black-and white, then hand-colored all 87,000 pages of the nearly 100 sets of twelve volumes of The Birds and Trees of North America, which he completed in 1932. Weve carefully reproduced six of Brashers colorful illustrations on two 3-Packs of Field Notes Ruled Memo Books
