Whether it's a bike ride, or a hike, or shreddin' down a mountain on a fresh powder day, we're all lovers of the outdoors at Commence. Let's appreciate it together.

Time to celebrate. Patagonia has hit the 20 year mark at their Upper West Side shop. We worked together with the Patagonia NYC team to create some custom illustration and tears sheets for this anniversary. Being in the ‘business to save our home planet,’ Patagonia has worked with dozens of different environmental non-profits in the NYC area the last 2 decades, so we wanted this project to tell that story and depict the history of the area.

The Freedom & The Escape

As much as we love doing work for our clients, we also love doing work for our planet. In conjunction with Patagonia Action Works, we designed and implemented a mural that spanned across three of Patagonia’s vast windows. The imagery and statements were chosen to bring awareness to the fracking threat that would damage the Ruby Mountains’ landscape and habitat in search for oils and fuel. The Rubies are not only full of beauty and popular for recreation, but are also Te-Moak ancestral homelands and a place that many magnificent animals call home. We stand with the thousands of people who have already raised their voices against destroying this iconic landscape. With Patagonia’s immense following and a little paint, we hope to make a big difference for the future of Nevada’s Ruby Mountains.

For the love of waves and oceans! Patagonia has impacted the surf industry silently, but successfully. Our goal was to share their progress in a full page advertisement spread in Surfer Magazine, utilizing a timeline that would guide the viewer through each milestone.

As a company founded in skate culture (pour one out for all the times we've hit the pavement literally and figuratively), Environment was one of the original partners in creativity for Laxalt & McIver. With custom illustration and graphic design, we helped grow Environment's brand through art directed skate decks and tear sheets filled with graphics far cooler than any kick flip.

Some of the most rewarding partnerships we've had have come through working with people as wild as we are. Meet Deso, a lifestyle apparel brand that embraces the art of getting lost. We collaborated with them to tell their stories from #wayoutthere through graphic design, custom illustration and tear sheets. Grab some gear, go on an adventure, and tell us your story - or don't... some stories are kept between you and the wilderness.

With close Nevada ties - it’s hard not to find ourselves passionate about the land that we live on. For this partnership, we collaborated with Patagonia Action Works to create a design that best captured the land of the Gold Butte National Monument. Through t-shirts, postcards, and a mural spanning all of the windows at Patagonia’s Reno location -- we were able to help make a lasting impact.

Killer Photography for Killer Skis

Moment started in Reno, Nevada on a risk and a dream. Two dudes went all-in on some new-to-them ski manufacturing gear and a vision to create quality skis, for quality people, right here in the US of A. Just like season to season, the snowpack may be fluctuating, but the drive to do great work dives right in. We resonated a lot with Moment Skis, a built from the bootstraps team ourselves, we value people who exist to create a damn dent in this world we live in. From creating new brand artifacts and additional tear sheets, to stylized shoots of the skis, we are so happy to collaborate with our fellow Reno-ites to raise the bar not only in the Biggest Little City, but across the globe, together.

We'll just say it: We've always had a huge crush on Patagonia. Their ethos matches that of our staff. The outdoor enthusiasts in us fell in love long ago with this brand that tests the edges and pushes to be the change they want to see in the world. They've gone against the grain in not rolling over and using materials and products that would abuse consumerism. We took a project from 2D to 3D in L&M collaborative fashion and as challenging as this project was, we grew leaps and bounds while bringing it to life.

Welcome to Reno

We're going. Going. Gone. Gone to a place of unbridled freedom. Slamming back sunshine and raising our glasses to the rising moon. The wind in our faces. A 'do you trust me' flame in our eyes and a savage grin that makes the steeliest of men feel nervous. Mincing no words with haters trying to wreck our high as we motor along. Meet Turn Loose.
