d’Philip & The Family Chalmers Consortium -Til Death, We Do Art
Our root system. Founded in 1995 by d’Philip & Kelly Chalmers, the Consortium blends family, creativity, and community into a living network of work, art, and stewardship. This is our big umbrella, and we invite you to learn about our venues, services & products.
The Intrepid Editor Press-Independent Words, Fearless Voices
Our boutique publishing house for books, essays, and stories that don’t follow the rules—but rewrite them. Established in 2009 and now with four published titles and several new titles slated, The Intrepid Editor Press is our flagship venue.
Your Book About You -Memories Fade, Stories Don’t
Every life is a story. A guided memoir service that helps anyone capture and preserve their memories, turning lived experience into lasting legacy.
Your Book About You is our Legacy Project.
The Ripple Revolver - The Minds & Musings of Dissent
A digital publication and local zine exploring culture, politics, and the countercurrents of American life, in these troubling times. The Ripple Revolver is the host of “Sh’ma America; Still Here for Now” an every so often podcast available where you get your podcasts now.
The Longwave Home -The Last Transmission Before Static
Signals across the distance. An experimental audio venture—part broadcast, part sound collage, part survival kit—built to carry voices, stories, and music farther than the static. A monthly dispatch debutes on Apple/Spotify on 12.07.25
The Intrepid Traveler Roadside Attraction - Limited Wonders, Limitless Bliss
A compendium of curiosities and artifacts gathered over many lifetimes available here or on the side of the road wherever you are now. Part shop, part spectacle, part caravan—our roadside attraction gathers artifacts, art, and oddities for the wandering soul. A marketplace where storytelling and imagination hitch a ride together.
