CORRECTION: It was 1985 and I was a sophomore. On the big class trip, before my research trip, we stopped at a corporate McDonalds in Abilene and I grabbed this.

I've lost a lot of them over the years, but I have three pieces left. It was an honor to hold that piece of history in my hands that day and I still remember every moment of it.

All of my sketch time is going to production work so have one of my favorite photos from SW Colorado.
A photo of an aspen taken looking straight up the trunk.

Re-reading Cory Doctorow's "Little Brother". It hits so much differently today than when it was originally published.

The most important thing to the Little Orange Hate Machine is his name. He puts it on everything to compensate for his...shortcomings. My resistance art for today. Taking that away.
