The reason smoky quartz is so dark is that it gets radiated from the earth. The more dark and opaque a smoky gets, the less it’s been exposed.

Love the fourth spread so much. The colors are fantastic.

Thanks for the kind words. I need to remind myself of that from time to time

Maybe one day I will 🤣!

Thank you!

With all the absolute insanity in the world, I continue to paint and contribute to the city of Boise. This was sponsored by PFCU and created for Idaho River Sports. I had a blast and met several organizers like Idaho Rivers United.

Hire me if you want to combat climate change. Whenever I install a mural, a storm inevitably rolls in whether we are in a dry season or not. #murals #artprocess

NO WAY. This is so disgusting, why would they do this?? Holy cow.

One of my favorite minerals are the Bunkerhill Pyromorphites. Most pyromorphites range from olive to granny smith apple green, but the Jersey lvl 9 vein of pyromorphites are bright orange due to trace amounts of arsenic mixed in with these lead chlorophosphate crystals. #Sciart #Idaho

This is such a cool piece Jonathan.

This is one of my favorite comics to read in the last 5 years.

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general.

If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

So stoked for the two of you!!!

Thank you!!

Happy new year

Three years ago, I stood outside three hours in frigid conditions for the gift of a 30-second view of this magnificent bird.
The genus of the Varied Thrush, Ixoreus, comes from the Greek "ixos," or mistletoe.

Thanks!! I think this one is my favorite piece. Glad McCall has it.
