Tweet Work done in conjunction with various forestry and environmental non-profit organizations over the years will be shown in Athens, Ohio on Nov. 10 to celebrate the International Year of the Forest.

Tweet The Chicago run Yo Yo Magazine has a few images from my Fox River Derivatives in their second issue. The magazine is a mixture of art, poetry and narrative.

Tweet Al Gore’s book on climate change “Our Choice” recently came out as an app for the iPad.
