Happy holidays to everyone! Don't let the outside world ruin them for you right now. And thank you @u.s.forestservice for letting my family and I cut down our Christmas tree every year in our National Forests. . . . . . #holidays #christmastree #christmas #treekilling #forest #woods #colorado #illustration #ink #pencil @staedtlermars @drphmartins #noodlersink

I've waited a while to announce it, but I am pleased to say that I am now represented by Book Stop Literary Agency! I'm honored to be signed with them, and look forward to many amazing projects.

11:30 this morning. Should I get a job doing commentary for eclipses? #eclipse #eclipse2017 #wyoming #Casper (at Casper Mountain)

An old truck. One can never have enough old trucks.

The product of some late night drawing. This is a pretty small piece, only 5"x7". (at Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad)

Theodore Roosevelt would scold us for how little we respect the natural resources we have been given. After becoming president in 1901 he created and protected approximately 230,000,000 acres of public land, an area nearly two and a half times the size of California, or one and a half times the size of Texas. As president, Roosevelt created five national parks, 18 national monuments, 51 bird sanctuaries, began the National Wildlife Refuge system, and created the United States Forest Service. I always think of the differences between what this great man wanted for us, and what we as a country are doing now. "We have fallen heirs to the most glorious heritage a people ever received, and each one must do his part if we wish to show that the nation is worthy of its good fortune." — Theodore Roosevelt "We have become great because of the lavish use of our resources. But the time has come to inquire seriously what will happen when our forests are gone, when the coal, the iron, the oil, and the gas are exhausted, when the soils have still further impoverished and washed into the streams, polluting the rivers, denuding the fields and obstructing navigation." — Theodore Roosevelt If you are interested in reading more about him, this National Park Service page is a good start: www.nps.gov/thro/learn/historyculture/theodore-roosevelt-and-conservation.htm @whitehouse #teddyroosevelt #theodoreroosevelt #nationalpark #nationalparks #nationalmonument #bearsears @nationalparkservice @u.s.forestservice @mypubliclands @usfws @glaciernps @npskatmai @greatsanddunesnps @grandcanyonnps @rockynps @yosemitenps @yellowstonenps @shenandoahnps @zionnps @blackcanyonnps @archesnps @joshuatreenps @sequoiakingsnps @grandtetonnps @greatsmokynps @newyorkharbor_nps @lake.roosevelt.nps @midwest.nps @greatbasinnps @npsyouth @ftsumternps @nationalhistoriclandmarknps @whitesandsnps @picturedrocksnps @acadianps @deathvalleynps

Just installed my senior show yesterday! The opening is this Thursday the 11th from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM roughly. (at California College of the Arts)

@lwbean and I went to the San Francisco March for Science! I held signs while we were there. (at Civic Center/UN Plaza station)

My computer decided it was going to take a break right when I needed to write an essay. Thank goodness I have a backup.

Went to Manhattan the week before last, there was much brick. I enjoyed the brick. It wasn't supposed to be the most exciting thing I saw, but after living in the Bay Area for years it made tough competition for everything else. Wink/whistle/yell if you recognize the last building, I met him. (at Lower East Side)

The progress of an etching I was working on this morning, from plate to paper!
