Bus stops must be easy to recognize, and pleasant, with enough activity around them to make people comfortable and safe.

I strongly believe that mayors should be required to wear a big sash that says “MAYOR” on it. In recent times mayors have forgotten that they serve we the people, and we want the sash

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)
As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

I've lately been obsessed with this app called StreetComplete. It gamifies contributing to OpenStreetMaps in by giving you you quests to do while you walk around. A fun way to get some steps in, to make you look closer at your environment and to do a good thing!
