These are some character studies of a bear, from my sketchbook.

The Art of Digestion
Here is a poster I made recently.
I watched the documentary "The Phantom Tollbooth: Beyond Expectations" about The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster and illustrations by Jules Feiffer. I was inspired to make this sequence about the digestion of knowledge.

Childhood Camping Memories
Summer is camping time, and I have been thinking back on the memorable times camping when I was a kid.
Here are a few sketches about such times:

Snack breaks. |
Canned meats. |
Making stuff, "living off the land" |
Some people had different priorities when they packed for camping. |
T.P. in the wilderness. |
Marshmallows of course. Staring into the flames of course. Smoke in the eyes and soot on the face no doubt. |

Lawton Elementary School Mural
On the eve of the first day of the Seattle schools' summer, I feel calm, happy, and dead tired. This is the big mural project that has consumed much of my life since May 1st.
I must add how fortunate I feel to have been a part of this. The Lawton Elementary playground mural was in need of updates. One of the teachers in charge of making it happen asked if it was anything I would be interested in or had experience with. Sure, I'd painted some murals. Oh yeah- also they wanted to have every student (430 kids) be involved. I said "No sweat." Right?
The organization and execution of this gargantuan thing was made possible by some very amazing faculty and volunteers at Lawton. I was a little daunted at first, but it happened. We did some planning, we did some talking, I outlined, the kids painted. We finished. (1100 sq. ft) It was so easy.
Here are a few photos of the process and the end result.
