Moss covered tree reaching left to right, forming an arch over the rainforest floor with some low ferns and bushes in the foreground, verdant yellow-green palette

Hoh Rainforest, June 2024
A companion piece to the other "reaching tree"...I love how this one forms an arch and pushes its branches right back down into the undergrowth.
Part of the Rainforest Reset series.

I find myself vacillating between fear and courage for sure...but after the April 5 protests bringing 6 million (2.5% of the population of this country!) together, I'm leaning toward courage.

I don't often pay much attention to the stock market, but this seems, you know...bad. Are we great yet?

I'm amazed. We designed this a couple days ago and already it's moving like crazy...and we didn't really tell many about our new efforts at politicalsidequest.com other than some locals & visitors to our printing studio on Whidbey Island. It's encouraging to see people so engaged in resistance!

Just printed two of these large (by request) for the protest on Saturday...alongside now dozens of requests this week for our own designs (available at @politicalsidequest.bsky.social) The demand is much higher ahead of this protest than previous marches...

My happy place...

Part of my Rainforest Reset series...
It hangs beside my desk as a big canvas in my printing studio (Feather &Fox Print Co.), reminding me that despite our doomscrolling and the upside-down world, there is always beauty to be found, and awe to experience.
