how not to take a dump in the woods...

oh the joy of walking along and having the call of nature creep up on ya. a soiled toilet abandoned just off the old jeep trail is not a welcomed sight... i remember in high school, a group of friends and i, setting up a toilet on the covered walk way entering my high school. my friends and i thought it looked cool... the administration didn't, they politely asked for it to be removed.

oil jug...

went a little more simple with this one... but please if you change your own oil, take it to a place that will dispose of it properly!

dropped

another day another drawing of abandoned/discarded items. not much to say, gotta headache...

empty

didn't make it home earlier enough to finish a drawing, or post one... spent the evening walking about town visiting galleries during "first friday". stopped @ bar afterwards and hung-out with several other artists until nearly midnight. a rather pleasant night all in all. i'll try to make up for my missed drawing day by drawing another later tonight.

near the river downtown

there are these big basalt columns with granite boulders not far from the riverwalk downtown. these are part of the sculpture by Michihiro Kosuge. since the first time i saw them i have been impressed, unfortunately they are off the beaten path. the scale of these things are... well... huge!

rusted

sittin' round listen to the red hot chili peppers, drawin' an old rusted red wagon. spokane has a huge sculpture of one that is also a slide. someday i should draw that thing...

it's for you...

ditched in an alley way, guess it had a problem with dropped calls and texting must have been a bitch...

drive shaft gone

rear axle toast, drive shaft gone, tranny linkage loose, brakes none, floor boards rotten, cab mounts rusted away to nuthin', glass broken or cracked... the perfect home for field mice, my old truck now blocks the road entering my property. before that people would drive up and dump yard waste and other trash...

rocks

i stacked these rocks a couple years ago in the hills across from my house. while walking the other day i noticed they are still there. back when i worked in the woods, i would stack rocks everywhere. every once in a while i go back and set up more...

another month

holy crap, it's already august. where is the time going? soon the leaves will fall and so will the temps. right now i wish it was cooler. outside is like an oven.

i need to start drawing abandoned trash again...
