Re: monster!!
Hello lovers,
I miss you.
Call me sometime...
Enjoy this monster I photographed along the shores of the south Thompson river...
I speculate it turned to stone and wood before reaching the shadows and darkness before dawn...

Re: dirty hands...
Hello lovers,
Dirty hands, make the artist, you only get good at something through tireless dedication, and repeated practice. I recently read you should not reveal anything to the world after you've been at it for five years!
I break those rules, but interesting advice nonetheless....

Re: more strange images....
Hello lovers,
Here are some more images from the road, which for me, can be a surreal, mind bending place. Not everyone can handle it, but I can, and I love it! Wow, just looking at these images is bringing back a flood of memories of adventures and the stories that go with them!
Until next time,

Re: various positions
Hello lovers,
Various images from the road and some of my non-computer art. I feel it's important to get back to my roots as an artist and illustrator, as I've staring at computer screens a lot for the past six or so years....
Until next posting,

Re: N'lakapamux cultural survival
Hello lovers,
On another note, my band and Siska band partnered up to create these amazing Nlaka'pamux field guides about our traditional foods and cultural practices!
They are incredible and share a wealth of knowledge about our culture and food gathering practices, as well as understanding a better knowledge of how our people lived harmoniously with land.
Our language hangs perilously close to extinction, the colonial agend was successful on many levels, but books like this give me faith that it can be saved and renewed. I hope.
The paper in the field guide is waterproof, making it an actual useable field guide!
And the books are full of recipes and more for each season, as well as a handy dandy quick reference poster!!
Many thanks to chief David Walkem and chief Fred Samson for their vision and perseverance and everyone involved in these books!!

Re: this photo!
Hello lovers,
This photo blows my mind!
It was my second day documenting what was going on, and I had no ideas the headstones were going to be burned.
This image is a powerful one to me because it is my chief David Walkem, warming his drum on the fire of burning crosses. One of the things it represents to me, is that despite centuries of oppression, racism, genocide, and religion being literally thrust upon us, we are still here, and warming our drums and hearts to the burning crosses of our oppressors.

Re: shots from the road....
Hello lovers,
Traveling through small towns can be weird, especially dying towns, there's a strange vibe and haunting beauty in watching a town empty out and die....
The interior of BC is semi-arid desert so it looks a lot like New Mexico and Arizona....
Breaking bad could be filmed here and you'd never notice the difference....
