Wilderness untamed & pure, touching every core of your being, unbridled power, furious gale force winds, churning clouds, horizontal sleet, bitter cold. I wouldn't have it any other way! Yukon, Canada.

A digital illustration, a low angle showing Link and Zelda facing away. Link has his hands on his hips, Zelda is tilting her head looking at a map. In the background is Peach’s Castle, from the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario, in his boxers, is jumping angrily from the castle’s bridge toward Link and Zelda. Peach is on the castle balcony looking shocked with her hand over her mouth.

Digital drawing with traditional appearance. A woman in a loosely fitting dress that covers everything but her neck up and forearms to hands. Her hands are clasped. Her hair is blowing upward and entwined with planets and stars. Her head is upturned and peaceful. She’s part of everything and distinct.

Digital painting of an ethereal woman shackled in outer space, her head replaced by a black hole. The black hole's radiating energy merges with the cosmos, while dark bands swirl around her body, symbolizing entrapment. The image conveys the idea that absolute certainty is a mental prison, with the woman’s chains and the black hole illustrating the constraints of rigid thinking.
