After taking a break during the Holidays, we here at Ragged Band are looking forward to rolling out some excellent new content this quarter. We’ll be continuing our series of profiles and conversations with up-and-coming creators across a range of disciplines, starting with Portland artist, designer, and general “maker of things” Eric Trine.

In addition to resuming our normal posting schedule we’ll also be doing a 2011 Ragged Band Alumni Roundup that takes a look at what several of the talented men and women we spoke with last year are currently up to. As a preview, feel free to screen the new trailer for Vern Moen’s forthcoming film, “Plastiki & the Material of the Future.”

Yes, that voice you hear at the 50 second mark is Alec Baldwin. The film’s narrator.
