Thinking about the oil derricks that were used in East Texas during the oil boom. Some of these photos are wall to wall platforms!
A lot of money was made in this mad rush of exploitation, and it's made even crazier by the previous timber rush in the region.

Wrote up a blog post on our recent trip to Big Thicket National Preserve! We saw pitcher plants, we saw a snapping turtle, we saw a gulf coast toad! And a few notes on the visitor center and its relation to the Museum of Jurassic Technology.

Took our Pitcher Plant Princess print out to Big Thicket to meet some lovely pitcher plants! I could not believe how many we saw along the Pitcher Plant Trail. (duh)
If you're ever in the piney woods of east Texas, you should check it out!

Little bud / 'pine cone' found on the forest floor at Redwoods National Park. Does anyone know what this is? I thought it might be from a redwood tree, but now I'm not so sure. Love the coloration and delicate feel it had.

Magical view of the Battery Point Lighthouse in Crescent City, CA. Perfect place to cackle out Kate Bush lyrics while exploring the hill. The blossoms are a type of thrift? Ice flower?

We usually end up creating a fair amount of drawings in the process from idea to print. Usually, we look at the print as the finished artwork, rather than a product of the drawing -- the drawing is a step on the way!

Memento mori! I like to look out for graphic motifs at the graveyard. This photograph came from an obelisk monument that also featured grain, lilies , and a draped curtain. Is it a handshake goodbye? A gentle caress? A connection beyond this life?
