The art of social change
Randall cuts a mystical figure in long dreadlocks and the occasional flowing outfit, complete with staff. And though the artist abandons his tunic in favor of jeans, T-shirt and bicycle for running errands around town, there's still something necromantic about him. Is it the ever-present sketchbook? The fact that his speech is peppered with the words "fundamental" and "nexus"?
Yet Randall has recently embarked on a one-man mission to create a different kind of magic. "I'm shooting for world peace and a new Leonardo da Vinci-style renaissance, if that's [possible]," he reveals. "There are enough people with a concern that an apocalyptic wipeout is possible. ... Every time I turn around, I hear another thing that appalls me as an American citizen." Randall's cringe list includes the war in Iraq, the state of the health-care system, and nuclear testing in Nevada "right next to a fault line."
"There are a whole lot of revolutionary people who want to change the world," he continues. "There's a lot of energy moving around the country; a lot of people who want to make change. I'm trying to create a nexus project." -

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
