I’m gonna admit something to you that may very well ruin my life. I can sew. That might not seem earth-shattering to you, but The Girl loves to sew and she’s the one who makes all my sewing ideas come true. If she reads this and finds out that I’m not inept with a needle she will probably force me to sew my own crap from now on. She’s got better things to do. So why am I admitting to something that could potentially cause a huge pain in my ass (and fingers)? Because SF artist Steve MacDonald, aka Ramblin Worker, admitted it first. But he didn’t just say “I can handle a sewing machine when I need to.” He has achieved the sewing equivalent of that woman who knitted the full-sized Ferrari. MacDonald has built an incredible portfolio around his mastery of embroidery. Combining painting with his killer stitchwork, he creates ridiculously complicated pieces, usually on some shiny-ass gold fabrics. Did you notice that I wasn’t worried about my sewing abilities ruining my street cred? I read Martha Stewart Living, man, I don’t have any rep left to ruin. I’m gonna go darn my socks and cry.
