My Bio

“Dirty and Distressed” is a new line of wasteland apparel and accessories designed for the survivor in you. All items in the “Dirty and Distressed” line are handmade and individually detailed, and while some items may appear similar, each is a one of a kind.

Most of our Garments begin their life as “NEW” 100% cotton clothing, and are carefully distressed, screened, airbrushed and dyed in multiple stages to capture that perfect holocaustic feel, and while appearances may be deceiving, I assure you they are clean.

Our line of accessories are all hand made from quality materials and scavenged (found) objects and are then cut, carved, forged ,hammered, bent and twisted into useful forms. A variety of finishes are applied, ranging from rough to polished (dependant upon the desired final result) and each item is painstakingly (sometime painfully) detailed.

So whatever your mission, be it roaming the desolate wasteland, crawling through the back alleys of an urban jungle, or just looking cool in the local nightclub, you won’t be disappointed with this statement of originality.

Thank you for looking and feedback is always welcome.

Okay… so last year was rough and the last few months have been chaos. At the end of October I had to move from my home of twenty years. Unfortunately  this move also meant I no longer have a studio/workshop. I offer this as an explanation as to why activity has been so sporadic. That's the bad news…Now the upside of this is it has shaken a few things up and forced me to get creative. Some interesting possibilities are beginning to manifest. My workshop is being absorbed into a friend of mine's. This will be mutually beneficial and give us both access to tools we didn't have individually. In addition we are in the process of building a vacu...

Hello fellow Wastelanders. I know I've been totally MIA for months now, but I've been in a bit of a creative void and feeling antisocial. My effort has been going into running my Etsy shop and  the day to day grind. So that said I do have a few new projects in the works and hopefully I'll pull it together enough to get them posted. Thanks to everyone following me and my apologizes to any of you I've not responded too. Thanks for watching and good luck out there…C.A.Hale

Hey everyone I just wanted to point you in the direction of an awesome stock photo series (or several) by the talented *mizzd-stock . She was one of my first customers and I owe her a big "thank you". It was the encouragement from people like her that gave me the confidence to continue this line of artwork. http://mizzd-stock.deviantart.com/art/Post-Apocalypse-Pack-1-167630220?q=&qo= She has a bunch stock photo sets starting with this one. Now lets see some great art based of off her wonderful stock…good luck out there…C.A.Hale
