Christopher Brown’s passion for nature is reflected in his detailed graphite drawings.
His works are created with abundant pencil strokes that are scratched, smeared, and sanded, using bold, dark tones. His subjects include a wide range of landscapes, old barns, dogwoods, and snowy river gorges.

I'm torn between a couple of different options for token two, but I think I should take this opportunity to introduce more people to:

Night Tapes - "Storm"

This is from their debut album "portals//polarities" released this year. An enchanting mix of dream pop and dance music! 😻

Token two.

My current earworm. Not sure what brought this track back into my mental playlist, but I don't mind this time.

Love this band, but they too have gone silent, sadly.
