Tom Brokaw speaking at TEDxPortland. It was surreal watching the news legend standing in front of my illustrations. This is one of those moments I’ll always remember.

This past Sunday I felt the urge to stretch my legs. One tends to get cooped up over the Winter here in Portland. Spring offers a chance to shake off the cabin fever and inject some much needed color into our lives. I took my camera out with my favorite lenze – a cheap Canon 50mm starter. It has a very small focal point and a wide aperture. This allows it to capture a small area in high detail, while the rest of the image fades into a dreamy world of saturation and soft focus.

It’s nice to see things with fresh eyes every once in awhile. Now bring on the allergies!

My fiancee Maryanna has been hard at work in the studio creating an amazing new body of work. Her show ‘Animal Battle’ opens next month at Pony Club Gallery in Portland, OR. Check out this time-lapse, showcasing the incredible attention to detail she brings to her work.

What I Wore Today: Cold & Rainy  Uniform I’m gonna try to start posting more straight up What I Wore Today posts. I figure why the hell not. I want to start posting a lot more original content on here. So expect to see more of my face.  It’s hovering around the freezing level and there’s always a chance of rain in Oregon this time of year. This kit definitely keeps me protected from the Northwest elements and comfortable at the same time.  It didn’t end up raining, but at least I was prepared.  Glasses: Moscot Originals Jacket: Barbour Bedale Gloves: Coal Sweater: J.Crew Shirt: CPT Brand Jeans: RRL Boots: Wolverine 1000 Mile

I’ve lived in the Northwest my whole life and it seems like it just keeps getting rainier here. I remember as a kid waiting for my dad to arrive home from work on the bus. He wore his Bedale jacket that he picked up in the UK. I remember that distinct smell of the wax on the jacket mixed with the cold NW rain as he came through the door. I have no immediate plans to leave the Northwest. I may complain about the rain but my jacket makes it somewhat tolerable. At times it even feels like the rain is home, especially when a smell that thornproof dressing in a fresh downpour.

I shot this last year in my neighborhood at the peak of the Autumn colors. This is one of my favorite photos that I’ve taken to date, not to mention my favorite time of year.
