Northwest Light
The weather these days out here is down right amazing. A comfortable 75 degrees with no humidity. It is glorious and makes me never want to experience 90+ again. Though, I doubt we’ve seen the last of the heat for the summer.

The Sun It Rises
It’s always a baffling experience walking home when the sun is coming up. It’s wild because crosswalks hold no credit and street lamps seem useless. The silence is only broken by the high pitched tweets of birds, the clanging of dumpsters being shook into trucks, and the faint conversation of the fuel truck talking to the gas station manager about what their kids have been doing...

Through Fox’s site I ran into Schnuckel’s site. I used to work with him at KOG back in the day. He was an incredible artist then and is even more impressive now. Jaw dropping work.

Stumbled upon the site of an old friend. Great glass work. I really love the “Business” series. So vibrant and I’m blown away how clean he put the pieces together.

The Hideout →
One of my favorite places to grab a drink in Seattle, that I rarely go to. Marked only by two red neon signs that read “cocktails” and “open.” If you don’t know what it is, you’ll never walk in there and you can’t test it out peering through the windows … because they are covered with thick black cloth. Seasonal books are printed of doodles doodled...

Shots by Sean Pecknold out of a moving train traveling across the country from Seattle to New York. He got tired of taking the 6 hour plane ride and opted for the almost 4 day train ride.

The Cruel World Of Critics
I recently talked to an established Seattle musician who opened my eyes. He told me that he’s going to go record an album in a couple weeks that he’s not going to release. When I asked why, he simply answered that he didn’t know if his insides could deal with the criticism. It was awesome to hear someone say that and I can fully respect that.
I think it is easy to think of the...
