Silly Walker and the River of Salmon. 151 Walker is so massive this year we may have to change his name to Waddler.

These are easy to create. I can feel the cortisol leave my body while listening to soothing music and drawing these simple designs.

Art therapy session

It started out as a snowflake and turned into a supernova. The mass of the giant star collapses onto its core releasing a shockwave of neutrinos right before it goes BANG

It’ll seed a new generation of star systems like our own.

Abyssal Dance (2025)

This pattern utilizes rotational tessellation based on the p6 wallpaper group.

The palette is a split-complimentary for a harmonious dance with underlying tension. The emergence of tri-color schemes on this pattern build into a larger crystalline structure.

I didn’t realize how fun these would be until we started making. They provide a great balance between creativity and structure.

2024 was a rough year for bear enthusiasts. Some of the most beloved bears didn’t show up to #brooksfalls this season. 128 Grazer lost a cub and the season was capped with the deaths of #brooksbear 402 and Queen of the Tetons, 399.
