THE BASICS   Name: Jessie Unterhalter & Katey Truhn Residence: Baltimore, MD Occupation: Muralist team Jessie and Katey are a Baltimore-based artist team that transforms public spaces into playful and vibrant experiences. This dynamic duo has been turning urban areas into works of art for the past decade. And now, we’re teaming up with them to bring you our newest print - Chromatic Voyage. We sat down with the pair to learn more about their process and their latest collaboration with Rumpl. You guys have a signature, geometric style to your art.

Katey: I think it kind of happened over time because we were really interested in murals and the murals we started off making were a little wackier and didn't have as much form in them.

THE BASICS   Name: Brett Stenson Residence: Portland, OR Occupation: Illustrator & Graphic Designer Our latest RAD collaboration is with Brett Stenson, a Portland-based illustrator and graphic designer.

WeGotNext is working to change this by amplifying individual stories of adventure and activism from communities that have been underrepresented in outdoor, conservation and environmental spaces. We sat down with Scott Briscoe, the founder of WeGotNext, to talk about the work they’re doing to help promote diversity in the outdoors through storytelling. Let’s start at the beginning. Can you tell us a little bit more about WeGotNext? WeGotNext scales stories from underrepresented communities in outdoor spaces. We do this through WeGotNext Ambassadors and their Ambassadorship, which runs in three-year terms. In the first year of the Ambassadorship, each ambassador will plan a project or expedition. In the second year, they will implement their projects. The final year will cons...
