Help!
I need dry, heated storage space for the art legacy of Spafford and Elizabeth Sandvig.
1500 sq. ft. Within 2 months. Any reasonable suggestions? Within a 47 mile radius of Seattle is preferred.

Sneak peak at some of the new work that Preston Singletary and I have been cooking up.
This piece headed for Pyramid Communications conference room where it will be in good company with work by Whiting Tennis.
Indigenous Peoples Day is every day.
Save the forests, trees, salmon, orca…
Work as hard as you can to bring it back and stay positive while you’re doing it. It’s worth all the effort.
This piece incorporates images of Preston Singletary’s Woodcarver totem into a forest filled with life, history, mythology and spirit.
More details and sneak peaks at our collaborative series, “Enter the Forest”, coming soon.

The chemical 6PPD has been killing salmon since the 1970’s.
It’s in all the tires, on all the roads, across the entire planet!
We should all be outraged and make sure that this information is spread far and wide.
It’s applied to all rubber tires, to keep them from degradation, due to ozone a sun exposure.
Surely we can find an alternative!
It’s found in every bit of stormwater on the planet. You know, now you are responsible too.
Not doing anything to effect change is being complicit.
There are alternatives, we need to demand action now..
I need help with this.
