"My friend Ryan Sullivan (Rigg NY) introduced me to Solomon's work on Instagram. I'll credit the power of the internet here - I've never been shy about reaching out and I feel like that opportunity is the most positive gift that the internet has provided us"
— Mason, Elmer Gomer




Mason, you used to work with a pretty big graphic design company and now you work with your hands with lots of mostly small and niche brands under the moniker Elmer Gomer. What do you like most about what you do now?
Mase: “I find purpose in working with other people to bring projects to life, whether it is small or large. I find the challenge of making things happen with other humans interesting and exciting and learning along the way is the ultimate gain in the end. I’m probably guilty of working too much at times, but I’m driven to do a lot while I’m here whether it is building a cannabis company or making a run of patches for a friend’s music label”
Solomon, you are a total denim dude through and through and have been involved in vintage, design, accessories and a bit of photography, too right? What are your plans for your Left Hand Twill platform?
Solomon: As of right now, I’m feeling things out. There’s a lot I want to accomplish with LHT but I no longer feel like I have to force things to happen. The brand is taking it’s natural course and to see things come together organically is beautiful. Sort of like this project here.



"Life is indeed what you make it, there's been too many times where you take certain situations or people in your life for granted and that's something I can no longer afford to do. I want to spread love expeditiously"
- Solomon Russell
Finally, what does this collaborative patch represent for you both individually?
