A collaborative series of patches for a community service project by artist Michael Swaine. For 15 years, Michael rolled a portable sewing cart into San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood and mended clothes for free. Myself and a group of artists created illustrations for these custom, ready-made patches and we screen printed them with a Gocco home printing set.
More info and a short video about Michael's project here.
