Welcome to The Rust Mil

Rust
The raw, the exposed.
Rust is not a high-gloss finish. It is an unpolished surface that is dirty, broken and beautiful.
It is not a four-letter word. It is a merit, a pride, a history. It is not decay, but change.
It is the smile lines, the cracks, the wounds of a lifetime in progress.
Rust is the underbelly  – the underreported, the overlooked.
We are literary outlaws, honoring the rule-breaking traditions of new journalism and the timeless virtue of print. We are artists – modern and muted. We speak in photographs, illustrations, drawings and paint. We write in videos and visuals.
We are observers and we are participants, sharing the stories of the city as they exists in our lives.
