I’m finished with Beard Revue.

It’s been great. At its peak, Beard Revue garnered over 11,000 visitors in a day. In 2010, Beard Revue was picked as Portland’s best blog by Willamette Week. And, of course, there was some inspired art.

Beard Revue will live on through its archives at beardrevue.tumblr.com and beardrevue.blogspot.com.

My online presence will reside mostly on my personal blog and the AIGA Portland blog, via my portfolio and in nescient Twitter ramblings. Don’t be a stranger.

Thank you for your readership. Don’t shave.

Beard Buddy: For beards, by beards.

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 07:00:05 -0800

Beard Buddy was formed in 2011 in Los Angeles, California. Founders/buddies Nathan & Gareth wanted to create products specifically for beards by beards. There first buddy adventure is a custom handkerchief. This face device is for when you are out and about and you need to save your beard from getting too weird.

For example, you are on a date and you get guacamole all up in your beard grill. Instead of using a measly napkin or racing to the men’s room, bust out your Beard Buddy hanky and show your date and your beard who’s boss. Beard Buddy is here for you and your beard…let’s get beers and burritos and be BFF’s. We look forward to making more BB products and growing together. Pun intended.

The Winter of The Beard by Jefferson Pitcher and Michael Schwartz

In the fall of 2005, two filmmakers invited six men across America to join them in an experiment. They would all stop shaving for six months. No trimming allowed.

Each was provided a video camera and weekly interview questions to document his own experience. The resulting 600 hours of intimate footage revealed a group of men traversing the same rite of passage from disparate vantage points. Throughout the process, the men told stories from their pasts, shared likes and dislikes, and confessed personal fears and aspirations. They laughed and cried, hid and came alive behind their beards.

The tireless taping captured bad days and good ones, and it is in this framework that the individual stories stand out and the beards fade into the background. From a son dealing with his father’s descent into Alzheimer’s, to financial and marital struggles, to the birth of a child, The Winter of The Beard reveals the trials and tribulations of what it means to drastically alter one’s appearance and otherwise go on living life.

Hi, folks. I made a second beardy poster once upon a time, too. It’s totally a love letter to Portland, the beardiest city in the U.S.

It was a fun piece to make. The face is letterpress and the rain is screen print. And it’s on fantastic, superheavy paper stock from French Paper Co.

There’s a Portland-y version and a generic version and they’re both very limited. Get one today!

And please reblog—thanks!!!

Hi, folks. Here’s a very beardy poster I made just for beard lovers like you. It’s a riff on Milton Glaser’s Bob Dylan, which you may have seen before.

It makes for a great Christmas gift to the beardy in your life. Get one today!

And please reblog—thanks!!!

Poets Ranked by Beard Weight: The Commemorative Edition

Wed, 23 Nov 2011 11:16:00 -0800

via 50 Watts

In 1913, London bon vivant Upton Uxbridge Underwood published his masterpiece of Edwardian esoterica, The Language of the Beard, offering it by subscription to fashionable men of leisure. This prized bit of ephemera has attained a legendary reputation among bibliophiles and beard lovers around the world. Frequent 50 Watts contributor Gilbert Alter-Gilbert has worked with illustrator Mahendra Singh and Skyhorse Publishing to create the “Commemorative Edition” of this curiosity, retitled Poets Ranked By Beard Weight to reflect its central premise—that “the texture, contours, and growth patterns of a man’s beard indicate personality traits, aptitudes, and strengths and weaknesses of character.”

You gotta click through. There is a wealth of awesome stuff here. Oh, and the book is for sale on Amazon.
