When we saw Mitchum’s well crafted invitation to put forth The Hardest Working Person in America, we immediately thought of our close friend Roly Rolon. He’s worked for us in so many capacities over the years. He screen printed our very first run of Butler Bros t-shirts. He appeared in this piece we created with Shiny Object and Randal Ford. He recently landscaped my backyard. My house is filled with his art and reclaimed furniture.
Roly lives in another dimension. His days are filled with adventures onto movie sets and into the underworld trash dumps. Beyond all the hard work though is a philosophy about life. He is interested in the possibility of every day. He finds beauty in things people throw away. And he writes phone numbers down on his jeans. We created a book filled w/ photographs of his salvage art pieces. There are a few shots above.
Our partner in making this film, Travis Wurges, is new to Austin. He quickly jumped on board to operate camera and edit this piece. Nice work Travis.
