Flags Over Wisconsin
Madison, WIBrand
He grew up in the small town of Mineral Point, Wis. where you either farmed and wrestled, or just wrestled. This creative adventure started one night when he saw a picture of JJ Watt’s Defensive Player of the Year trophy and behind it was a beautiful American Flag made from barn wood. Never taking a shop class but not being able to afford to buy a flag like this, he reclaimed barn wood from farmers that would let him until he had the right parts for the flag. Posting a picture of his creation late one night, he woke to find orders for ten flags by morning. It became a full-time job two months later with the vow to always create art that any Wisconsinite could afford.
