Remembering Johnny Cash, who left us #OTD 2003.

There's this road called Power Creek in my hometown. It's a narrow dirt road and the potholes make for a slow bumpy ride. But I drive it anyway, just to see the color of this icy river.

I'll answer that from my personal experience. Yes, ex-drinkers can most certainly safely resume the customs and rituals of drinking with nonalcoholic beer and such, but it's excruciatingly boring as fuck. Although, you certainly wake up the next day feeling 💯 because you have not ruined your life.

It's salmonberry season in Alaska. You won't find these gems in a store, which makes this time of year more special. These berries come in ruby red, dark red, and orange. They make good jelly and there's a Jell-O pie recipe they are good for.

My bookstore doubles as a cafe in the day time and a bar at night with a stage for open mic nights.

My favorite writing tool is a classic blue ink Bic pen 😀

There's lots of helpful YouTube tutorials you can check out until you can find a class that fits your schedule :) 🎨

I rarely like anything I paint. As simple as watercolor may seem, the technique is difficult for me because I lean toward bold colors and thick lines. I tried to keep it light on this one though, and I think it looks better than most of my pieces.

I suppose I'll give this one some color today.

These are super cool. I like your color combos

Absolutely love your whimsical style.

When I come to Alaska to work in the summer I bring a stack of books with me. Only the best of the best return to Washington to live in my home library. The book is 100% coming back with me.
