Hey guys,

This is a drawing I did a couple months ago, but I thought about when I was checking out that Joshua Keys website. It would be hard to work something like that in and have it make much sense. Possibly some pretend mythology? Get all mythological on this shit?

Rabbits investigating a coyote skeleton

I liked the irony of the hunted carelessly checking out the dead hunter. It would be cool to make them the invasive rabbit species.

Hey everyone,
I had an idea to do an arm growing a car like a tree. I was thinking having really stylized leaves, maybe see through or silhouetted. If that's too off topic maybe just actual trees growing through cars.

Joshua Keyes

Hey everybody. Here is that artist I mentioned whose work we could use to inspire some ideas since his themes are similar to ideas we discussed on Friday

'Homework' recap

1. What lives here (relevant to your group)?
2. What's native / non-native / invasive?
3. How does stormwater runoff impact these things?
4. Choose 5 things from your list and get 3 images of each. Print them out or photocopy.
5. From this list (of 5) pick one thing to draw from photo or life. Make two more drawings (these can be sketchy) that abstract this in some way.
6. Returning to your 5 things, list 5-10 adjectives that describe each one (in your own language or from found sources).

Link to pictures

Here is an album on my Facebook page with the pictures I took today.
I don't know how to do that here, or even if you can.
I can remove any picture you don't want up... just let me know.

This is the major overarching plan for the greening of PCC, of which the parking lot makeover is one component. It's really, really long.
