Renowned Canadian photographer and digital artist T.M. Glass is no stranger to the spotlight: her unique method of mixing floral photography with digital painting to produce mesmerizing physical prints has succeeded in capturing plenty of attention from the media and wider artistic community.
In collaboration with The Campaign for Wool in Canada – our country’s foremost voice on the benefits of wool as a renewable, biodegradable, and eminently versatile fibre – Glass has created this digital painting in conjunction with The Campaign for Wool to celebrate the incredible properties of wool with a packed slate of special events and collaborations with fashion designers, artists, producers, and retailers.
This digital painting is a divergence from Glass’s usual subject matter with a distinctly meta twist: the work is a photograph of Canadian sheep, digitally painted in Glass’s trademark style, and printed on paper produced from wholly wool.
Intent
“In approaching this piece, my intent was to communicate the beauty of the sheep and its wool both visually and tactiley” said Glass, when asked about her work. “The choice to print on wool paper was not made out of novelty; rather, I think it establishes the physical presence of the subject of the photograph, creating a sense that the sheep is within arm’s reach of the viewer.” The print is now available for purchase- contact us for further details.

Ketchum, ID – What happens when the greatest thing to ever hit SCOTTEVEST’s electronic shelves gets redesigned? We can’t wait to tell you…
SCOTTEVEST, Inc. has been known for over a decade for our ingenious pocketed clothing marketed toward travelers, gadgetphiles, photographers, and urban adventurers. Over the years, each successive product improves upon previous versions, as indicated by the software-style numeric naming system.
SCOTTEVEST transforms the way you will use your clothing, yet again, with the introduction of the Fleece 7.0 Jacket, available now as a pre-order and shipping October 31, 2012.
The Fleece 7.0 is the successor to our signature jacket, the Fleece 5.0, which quickly became a staple in many SCOTTEVEST customer wardrobes.

This allows you to access your iPhone 5 (or other smartphone) through the Clear Touch Fabric in the hand warmer pocket, which is something you truly need to test out for yourself. We believe this will fundamentally change the way you interact with your mobile devices. You can plug it in to your wired in headsets or use Siri and FaceTime right through the clear touch fabric, without ever removing your phone from your pocket.
However, we didn’t stop there. Here are some key features that make the Fleece 7.0 so unique:
23 innovative, purposeful pockets for are perfect for gadget lovers, travelers and photographers on the move! Speaking of pocket innovations, this updated style also includes a new iPad/tablet pocket design, which adds extra security and better ergonomics when pocketing a large device.
The In-and-Out Pocket debuts on the Fleece 7.0, allowing you to access the interior chest pocket from the exterior of the
jacket. An updated eyeglass pocket with both top and zippered side access contains a cleaning chamois with a map showing each of the jacket’s many pockets.
Since the sleeves are removable with cleverly hidden zippers, a dual-access back lumbar pocket has been included to hold them if
you are wearing the Fleece 7.0 as a vest. Oh, did we mention that the Fleece 7.0 can turn into a vest? Inside, just in case you need to “show your papers” or “stow your papers” in a hurry, we have highlighted the travel documents pocket with a red zipper and a locking zipper pull, making it nearly impossible to pickpocket. No. Making it impossible to pickpocket (unless, perhaps, you are a really sleeper and hang your jacket in the closet).
Our typical level of attention to detail continues inside with a silky lining and a subtle “fractal” design comprised of our logo
in shades of black and gray. Ergonomic zipper pulls make getting into your pockets easy (even with gloves). Totally stealthy, the Fleece 7.0 is black with gray accents and has NO reflective piping. And if stealth isn’t your thing, it’s also available in a limited edition Red version.
The Fleece 7.0 is now available for pre-order on our website www.scottevest.com and is now shipping. This is just the beginning of many more incredible advances in the SCOTTEVEST clothing line. As the weather begins to cool down in your part of the world, things are definitely heating up at SCOTTEVEST…stay tuned!
