Nasturtium sketchbook spread : )

An oil painting of a river meeting the ocean. The sand is bright and clean, and the river curves through it in a satisfying way, blocked by an ice plant covered rock formation before reaching the breaking waves.

A quick roadside painting of little sur from last month! this is a classic spot for artists in the area, but it was my first time there :)

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

why can’t I spell. I was in Big Sur.

Today I went out painting with a local plein air group and it was awesome!!

Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), “The Harvest” (1888), oil on canvas, 92 x 73 cm.

Man After Man: An Anthropology of the Future (1990) is a speculative book written by Scottish geologist Dougal Dixon and illustrated by Philip Hood. The scene depicts a future evolutionary descendant of man a "tundra dweller" attacked by a different descendants species of man in a wintery setting. I'm the distance more large assed members of the tundra dwellers ignore the violent scene. SEASONS GREASONS ONE AND ALL

Scan of a bright green sheet of paper. At the top, typewritten: "Do you have any advice for people who want to be more creative?" Following a dashed divider line, handwritten: "Yes! Lower the stakes. Make it small, not precious, and do it often. So many people get stuck on "what should I make?" or "what's the point?" but the point is that you made something! You are moving! Are you noticing! You are here! I've kept a daily drawing practice for almost 20 years now and it is a simple and small habit that is repeatable and doable. The practice makes the space. You don't have to feel creative to be creative. Just show up and keep moving you (sic) fave pen or pencil or combo of both!"

Title card with smoky orange sky and dark pine trees. Text reads: “Why we started Perch Sensing: From wildfire detection to community resilience.”

Smoky sunset behind power lines and trees. Text explains Perch’s origin as a Cal Poly SLO research project using utility infrastructure to detect wildfires.

Orange wildfire glow behind silhouetted trees. Text highlights growing wildfire threat, rising insurance rates, and homeowners’ uncertainty about how to protect their homes.

Most people in fire-prone areas want to prepare, but don’t know where to start.

That’s why we started Perch.

What began as a research project at Cal Poly is now evolving into a wildfire risk platform designed to close the gap between awareness and action.
