“Time is short, my strength is limited, the office is a horror, the apartment is noisy, and if a pleasant, straightforward life is not possible, then one must try to **wriggle through by subtle maneuvers.**” A favorite quote by Kafka, in a letter he wrote to a friend back in the 1900’s. Have you found your subtle maneuvers...or a pleasant straightforward life? :) #rakeart #kafka #quote #calligraphy #oceanbeach https://www.instagram.com/p/BvW82Tnhx5a/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i4gyuop5soi1

Cancer sucks. 🙁 My friend Ronni Bennett cancer came back, so she is facing her final voyage. Her loyal blog readers voted to name the 'ship' for this voyage "This End Up". (Her blog timegoesby.net linked from my profile) Our relationships are our riches. Thank you Ronni!! #cancer #beachart #timegoesby #sf #oceanbeach (at Cliff House, San Francisco) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqcs6KtBcjr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fg3ci4vtv1u7

An attempt at snow writing... Still figuring out how this could work! (at Boulder, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqTlIfDBPOw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gl2nj6onm0b0

Still from this morning. Ride was already nibbling away at it. 😀 #calligraphy #lettering #beach #sf #oceanbeach (at Ocean Beach)

"Art is an act of courage, something one human does that creates change in another." Favorite @sethgodin quote of @gdonelli and @astropadapp . True! #beachart #beachcalligraphy #art #quotes #artquotes (at Cliff House, San Francisco)

I left San Francisco a exactly a year ago and still miss it--it was the most "home" I've felt in a long time. I'm happy I get to visit often. #home #nostalgia #beachart (at Marshall's Beach)

February 2016 my beloved Aunt Jenna passed away, and February 2017 my college friend Molly suddenly was taken as well. I'm filled with appreciation for my time with them. Both were artists as well, and both were so encouraging of my crazy little beach art niche. I miss you both, and will remember you often. #remember #beachart #calligraphy #typography (at Santa Barbara Cabrillo Beach)

Another shot of work I did for @carnival last year for their #hellovista campaign. The drone photographer was amazing! #beachart #calligraphy #rakeart

Thank you 🙏 all for supporting and encouraging my fun art in 2016. Much more to explore in the new year! #beachart #thankyou #rakeart #art #beach #sandart #sf
