Started in 2005, MY DAY is an ongoing self-published chronicle of the greater Northwest. Nate spends a day drawing his surroundings often times accompanied by writers Chris Ashby or James Yeary. Each issue is constructed using cut and paste techniques with combinations of letterpress, relief, lithography, rubbings, photocopy, offset printing, hand coloring and/or pochoir. All books are currently in print and can be purchased through Passages Books, and Division Leap Books.
