AP sues 3 Trump administration officials, citing freedom of speech The Associated Press is suing three Trump administration officials over access to presidential events.

The White House is really gonna try and say that the people no longer have freedom of speech? Go get 'em, AP. ❤️❤️❤️

Rewatching my favorite #davidlynch works has made me feel oddly inspired. What a wonderful gift he left us.

Font is hand drawn by me, free on my site.

I added a ton of alternate characters to this font, so if you already downloaded it, the new one is on my site. Font is based on the lettering in the paintings of David Lynch and is free to download.
(Clear your font cache if characters won't show in PS)

Made a new font last night in honor of an artist who has been very influential not only on my work but on the work of so many artists, and we are forever grateful. Free to download on my site.
I'll be adding more variants to this font soon.

Except for Edward Gorey and the Quay Brothers, I can't think of another artist who influenced me as profoundly as David Lynch.

kyle_maclachlan Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn't recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision.
What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to.
Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I'd ever met.
David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.
While the world has lost a remarkable artist, l've lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own.
I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We'd talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh.
His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.
I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he's gone.
David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.

This is a beautiful tribute.

I'm pretty proud of this: two of our reporters have written a series about the role of tribal colleges in Montana and I had the privilege of designing a logo for it. One thing I wanted it to reflect was the role of nature/the environment in Native American culture and I think I pulled it off.

So this happened. Don't go to PetsMart when they have adoption events or this could happen to you.

The little creature in my profile is a monster I drew for the Missoula Monster Project. I have drawn a monster for that fundraiser every year since 2016! And I am super proud of all of them (can't find 2017 for some reason).

I do, but it's such a hassle, although doing digital sales wouldn't involve me having to do too much. I'll have to think about that!

Found scans of my negatives from my bucket list cemeteries, Pere Lachaise and Highgate. Took these in 1999.

So a lot of lino artists say to paint the lino to make it easier to see what you are doing and it's very smart and totally works, but neglected to mention that it pretty much makes the carbon paper not work. 🙃 I had to redraw it all again with Sharpie.
