2017 - A Year in Review

2017 has been an incredible year full of night adventures across the Southwest United States and more art shows than I can count. Below are many images that summarize my year of growth across the art scene. 

Also, Tiffany and I have made HUGE progress on our tiny house while juggling 3 different jobs. We plan to move into it full time in the next few months at the latest. Just last week we finished the build on our Murphy bed are going to install the inverter and flooring next.

Located at a much higher elevation than the main areas of Death Valley these stones over time under the right conditions sail across the racetrack.
