This is good news, in the wake of what was a total bust. Do better next time D5.

Help out a fellow Sounders fan, now a wholly unnecessary victim of stupid automobile/driver violence.

as Edward Abbey wrote, "we will outlive the bastards".

Back to painting places I love, and just finished this one. I'm trying to work fast and be not-precious about it. Image is from a backpacking trip in the Sierras from a couple of years ago; David tells me its looking south towards Alpine Col in Darwin Basin. That was a sweet place.

Finished this drawing today, getting reacquainted with some of the visual language I used in previous map drawings. Pastel offers lovely color, graphite for the mountain, conte for the linework, approx. 36" x 52"

Then, having had your laugh/cry, I recommend proceeding to turn off the news, roll up your sleeves, and go do kindness in whatever ways are open to you.

If you are reading the news, weathering the storms of awfulness (for weather it we must), you may want to try a plugin for Firefox called 'detrumpify' - which replaces a certain name with an insult on any webpage. Can also swap images of said person with kittens. Screencaps below.

I mean, that person should have their voting rights revoked

I am learning this from you. Really unanimous but for one sad voter?

YouTube video by Ninety Percent of Everything is Crap Paul Anka and Lisa Simpson - Just don't look

In an old Halloween episode of The Simpsons, monsters based on advertisements go rampaging through Springfield, feeding on the attention received from their infant tantrums. Once people simply stopped paying attention to them, they are robbed of their power and die.

Do not worry. Do not fear anything. Mountaintops are still ahead. Thank you to prophet and martyr Martin Luther King Jr. on this remembrance day of his life and work.

Thank you Bridgette!
It's lovely to connect with you and your work again.

Kinda here as a hedge, in case I get impulsive and delete my other social media accounts.

A large pastel drawing showing city blocks from an overhead view, with a blue line representing my walk from home to the bus stop. Simpler description: a smudgy drawing of a google map.

First post / Intro: I’m a multidisciplinary artist deeply connected to the practice of walking and exploring landscapes. My art and writing are inspired by the experiences and reflections that arise from these drawings of the present moment.
