☕ Late work nights mean late starts, but that’s ok. Having the flexibility to follow creative bursts, no matter the time of day, is critical for me.

Finished the hand-dyed calfskin Galileo passport case tonight. Photos of the finished product to follow later, hopefully with some nice natural light.
Pricing of everything finalized as-well. Available soon!
🎧 In the mood for some late night work.
second look: the Galileo passport case
I have been using the Galileo passport case since making it (which has only been a week now, I think), just so I can use it day to day, feel what it feels like to do so, etc. In addition to working as designed, which is to carry a passport and other travel related documents, it also makes for a great wallet, albeit on the larger side. That it can carry a pocket size notebook (i.e. a field notes notebook, of course) is a very nice added bonus.
Hand-dyed in progress.
Workin’.
Modular. Versatile. (My end-of-the-workday-quick-creative-idea-to-execution).
Also, cool can. Good beer.
Cutting material for three Galileo passport cases. Two will be fully assembled, one will start the dyed-by-hand process and will be assemble on Thursday.

Sized up slightly to fit an International Driving Permit 🚗
🗳️ Polling the audience: have this as default size or as an optional size?
⛈️ Thunderstorm tonight. Sleeping with the windows opened slightly.
Necessary reminder.
Grateful Log and some Wisdom for Saturday September 21, 2024
So in the majority of other things, we address circumstances not in accordance with the right assumptions, but mostly by following wretched habit. Since all that I’ve said is the case, the person in training must seek to rise above, so as to stop seeking out pleasure and steering away from pain; to stop clinging to living and abhorring death; and in the case of property and money, to stop valuing receiving over giving. - Musonius Rufus
🧘♂️ Calling it. Can’t just lay here. 3am yoga to start the day. Then diving into all the stuff my brain woke me up with.
🧠 Brain activity woke me up. Can’t get back to sleep.
Accidental selfie while taking photos of the passport case earlier today.
☕ Coffee round 2. Finish client work for the week. Dinner. Shower. Website/marketplace work. Sleep.
Second prototype, perfected the sizing. This product is good to go. Name TBD, but it is a passport case.
Really liking how this passport case turned out. Will be part of the Strathmere Leather line. Also really liking suede for the interior pockets. Went with the same approach on the soon-to-be-announced Franklin bag.
Prototype.
A visitor.
Dyed by hand.
State of my bag lately. Water bottle in the modular compartment off to the side, 13” MacBook Air, 11” iPad, magazine for wishful moments to read, Jefferson full of notes and unfinished thoughts. Plus pockets on both sides of the bag holding useful day-to-day things.
