My Day Books

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. Since MY DAY #3, each issue has been constructed using cut and paste/xerox techniques with combinations of letterpress, relief, lithography, rubbings, offset printing, hand coloring and/or pochoir.
