This mural decorates the south side of the new location of the Pick of the Litter thrift store, a nonprofit whose proceeds go to fund the local Humane Society and other efforts to assist domesticated animals in Lincoln County.  Its design is to catch the eye of potential shoppers traveling on nearby Highway 20.

Their request for "colorful" and "a cats and dogs theme" inspired this mural of pets playing with bullwhip kelp and a hermit crab.

A local passing by commented, "Hey! That looks like my dog! Not the same color, though."

In 2019 on the Oregon coast legislation was finally passed limiting the catch of forage fish such as anchovies, as their population varies dramatically with fluctuations in ocean temperature and they are made vulnerable by unusual temperatures brought about by climate change.  Needless to say, population numbers of the humble anchovy affect other more celebrated species such as salmon, tuna, and humans.

Thanks to the Newport Public Arts Committee and the Summer Wind Motel for their support in commissioning this mural.

"What I Learned In School", acrylic and spray paint on concrete, 2019.

La loi Oregonnienne en 2019 a enfin mis en place des limites à la surpêche des espèces de petits poissons de "fourrage" tels l'anchois. La population de ces poissons peut fluctuer de façon dramatique avec des variations dans la température de l'eau marine, les rendant vulnérables aux changements climatiques. Bien évidemment, la population d'anchois a un effet sur d'autres espèces plus célèbres telles que le saumon, le thon et les êtres humains.

Merci au Conseil des arts publiques et au motel Summer Wind.

We applied ourselves to a linoleum block carving- stamping- t-shirt painting session, and now we have lots of logo-free shirts (and baby clothes) to give to our friends!

Emy and I did a little farewell at Café Mundo's final talent show: I did a live painting of the audience, with a mirror, while Emy played Amelie on the piano.

Thanks for all the fish (tacos)!
