Is there anything more PNW than a banana slug eating all your summer strawberries.
Answer: no.

From wikipedia: "A salmon hat is a cultural fad displayed by orcas, where they wear dead salmon upon their heads."

"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.

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.
