Who's growing a new stache for MOVEMBER?

About a month from now, men from around the globe will be sharpening their shaving tools of choice, to clear way for a fresh Movember canvas.  Mo Bros., with the support of their Mo Sistas, work towards a well groomed stache to prompt private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and male mental health initiatives.  Looking for some stache ideas?  The surface design pattern below, by Ian Phillips was created with fabric and wallpaper in mind, but it may inspire the perfect design for you.  All the fun aside Bros., we hope to inspire you to get your pledge machines fired up and grow for the cause.

Ian Lends Whimsy to Serious Subject

Recently Ian Phillips was commissioned to bring his humor and whimsy to a very serious story about bone health for the summer issue of Positive Side magazine. The story investigates HIV-related issues with regard to bone density. Bones can be healthy, brittle or too soft… Ian says, "First Goldilocks and The Three Bears came to mind. Then the Three Little Pigs and their houses of straw, sticks and bricks flashed through my mind as a better analogy. The smart-thinking pig built his house with bricks, demonstrating a proactive role in one’s health as the better choice."
