"Bruiser" Whidbey's lone elk, who has the bad habit of tangling with tarps, tire swings, and once a mooring buoy. Luckily there's always someone to help untangle him.

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it.

Just watched youtu.be/ibWyj8d8ulE?... about farmstead in Lofoten. My father used to spend summers there with his grandfather, farming and taking care of goats and drying cod. Here is a scratchboard piece I did of the house and boat house.

Hi everyone! I am an artist living on an island in the PNW. I love following funny smart people and this seems like just the place. I am not as good at the quick quips as many of you wordsmiths are, but I do make pretty pictures. Here's one of my favorite paintings of my Irish Wolfhound Oskar.

Illustration I created on the Procreate App. I'm new to digital art (usually a painter/draw-er person) but I've been REALLY enjoying making things on my iPad with Procreate.
