about

Since 2018, Caleb and Madelyn have created under their online pseudonym Patchwork Canteen.

Varying adventures carefully crafted their storytelling, each chapter being one patch in the intricate fabric of their lives. The artist duo remains inquisitive through their changing perspectives, always appreciative of the authentic experiences that unfold. They’ve learned to embrace spontaneity and respect the ever fleeting now.

Patchwork Canteen uses their art to ignite curiosity outside of comfort zones; ceaselessly reiterating that the most important journey is from head to heart.

Support

As independent artists, Caleb and Madelyn work diligently to balance creative freedom and financial success. It is through the support of their collectors and followers that they may continue creating. These are a few ways that you can be a part of their journey.

Trade 35mm film rolls for a signed print! While along the Pacific Crest Trail, they will be conducting a photographic documentation on 35mm. With over 2,650 miles to capture, every roll helps and this exchange would make the art even more meaningful.

Take a look at what a resupply looks like and estimated costs for their Pacific Crest Trail food needs. The thru-hiker diet is less than ideal but with your help, Caleb and Madelyn can maintain a more nutritious meal plan.

During a long-distance hike, overnight stays are the ultimate way to wash up, rest, and recover. All contributions will go towards hostels, motels, or hotels along their thru-hike. Donors will receive a hand-written postcard from a trail town!

Patchwork Canteen has published work on both the Ethereum and Tezos blockchains. They offer 1/1s, as well as some editions, from their various collections.

Trail angels are a vital and appreciated part of the long-distance hiking ecosystem. Traditionally, these kind humans are known to set up along the trail. No matter if it’s wisdom, water, or snacks, trail angels send hikers on their way with a necessary dose of encouragement. With the internet, trail angels are now able to express their support in ways that aren’t location dependent.
