The Coming Rain - Hurricane Helene Tribute

 

Drawn in empathy for the victims of Hurricane Helene. Feeling especially heartbroken today for those suffering from Hurricane Helene -- especially friends and family in Western North Carolina, where I grew up and spent my childhood years (through college), now dealing with flooding on a catastrophic scale never before seen.

So many old and familiar places in the Blue Ridge Mountains -- Asheville, Chimney Rock, Black Mountain -- now devastated and laid to waste. Ways to help.

"I went out for a walk..."

“I only went out for a walk,

and finally concluded to stay out till sundown,

for going out, I found,

was really going in.”

— John Muir, 1938

"Adventure Awaits"

Done in participation with the Kew Gardens: A Place Where Art Has a Home" project featuring "Images of Everyday Life in Kew Gardens" -- highlighting the talents of local artists in Kew Gardens, Queens NY. The drawing is currently displayed at Austin Ale House until June 11th, after which point it'll take up permanent residence in the Kew & Willow Bookshop.

Kew and Willow Books -- a community-funded bookstore that opened this past December -- was a natural choice of topic for me given my (nearly weekly) patronage and support. Check out this interview with two of the booksellers on how they brought an indie bookstore to life after a successful Kickstarter campaign. If you're in the neighborhood I highly recommend a visit!
