The Grafletics Gazette

Designing apparel inspired by the PNW is cool,  but you know what’s even cooler? Falling off a paddleboard on the Willamette while wearing it.

With a Grafletics Gazette subscription you get a behind-the-scenes peek at the adventures, mishaps, and impromptu snack stops that inspire our gear. It’s what happens when a graphic designer swaps the desk chair for a bike seat, the mouse for a paddle, and the artboard for a café menu.

Every Thursday, we’ll send you a quick hit of our real-life antics—from Trolley Trail bike rides with my wife to family paddleboarding sessions. Along the way, there will be off the beaten path restaurants, coffee shops, hiking trails and questionable fashion decisions.

Everything we make is meant to be lived in. We’ve tested it in the wild (and sometimes the very mild) and lived to tell the tale—now with a newsletter.

If you’re stuck in a rut, the Gazette is your weekly dose of friendly peer pressure to get outside, get moving, and maybe spill a little apple sauce on your new tee.

Sign up. Read it. Or don’t. But if you don’t, we’ll assume you're indoors watching a documentary about someone else’s adventure and honestly… that’s fine too. The Gazette features a "What We're Watching" segment to help keep your streaming fresh.

(Rock Island - Upper Willamette Falls, West Linn, OR) Drop in at Willamette Park, then paddle 1-mile up river and bring snacks and a fishing rod!
