Now that the boring part of my bio is over - I have 2 great big fat Percheron draft horses that are rescue horses from the drug industry that make for exciting trail rides over the rough terrain of the Olympic Peninsula. I’m a chicken-shit rider, but enjoy the thrill and beauty of being out in nature. I’m also a big fan of Game of Thrones which makes trying to make a living as an artist look easy because for the most part no one is trying to chop off your head. I’m also working on a series of illustrations to advocate for the removal of three Snake River dams and recommend that you see the film Damnation: http://damnationfilm.com/
