Long summer days and backcountry hiking trails that go on for miles - I love this time of year!
The art deco vintage art style wilderness scene was created in Midjourney, and is presented here in the shape of a grizzly bear.
This is a good one for those Scout trips, family vacations, backpacking treks and all those summertime adventures that lead you into the Great Outdoors.
The bison was created in Midjourney with an art deco prompt, then painstakingly cleaned up of unnecessary pixels. A different take on an Independence Day theme - Buffalo, in an art style that harkens back to when they still freely roamed the plains.

Raven Steals the Sun is a well known creation story all up and down the Pacific Northwest Coast, and one of my favorites as a kid growing up in Alaska.
In Tlingit culture, people belong to one of two houses - Raven clan or Eagle. Raven cannot marry Raven, and Eagle cannot marry Eagle. So when you see Raven and Eagle depicted together, they are called Love Birds. I took it a step further and designed them as a heart.
My green sea turtle design, with a frame inspired by the painted bark cloth designs of the South Pacfic. Pen and ink, colored pencil, digital, and acrylic were all employed to produce this.
