#grizzly bear
Partner collaboration completed ✅ … Or so I thought, as I’m writing this @flurrin is continuing to add more to the piece xD
Sketched by Flurrin, burned by me, colored by Flurrin, and white charcoaled by me.
Not finished, obviously, but this was tonight’s little burn. Sketched by my partner @flurrin Definitely my new favorite way to collaborate!
Portrait test of my character Cedrus- I tried to give him my current hair and uhhh it was difficult xD
Woodburning colored with prismacolor markers and a little bit of white charcoal
Some things are coming back to me. My art, my drive, my… Self. Still not 100% pieced back together, but getting there.
I’m getting ready to leave Hawaii. It’ll have been a full year by the time I leave; a full, heavy year. It feels like a dream. I left so abruptly to come here with no time for preparations, and now I’m not sure how to prepare to go back. Everything’s so different, and going to continue to be so. I think I’m a little bit of a different person now, but also even more me than I previously knew.
I’m a sailing instructor now. I never even knew I had an interest in sailing until I was kind of forced to do it. Now it’s like, shaping my whole life? I can only teach at a beginner level, as I am pretty beginner level myself, but I’ve already won races against people far more experienced than me so I think I have some idea what I’m doing. And it’s a lot of fun. Hit me up if you’re ever on the big island and I’ll teach you too ⛵
Here are the lil'We Bare Bears!

Yellowstone’s grizzlies are off the endangered species list. They’re not safe from mankind.
The grizzly bears of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem will no longer be protected by the federal government, the Department of the Interior announcedThursday.
The long-anticipated move removes the bears from the list of animals protected by the Endangered Species Act, and hands over their management to Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, the states where they live. It also opens the door to hunting them in areas outside Yellowstone National Park.
Grizzlies once numbered in the thousands, but dwindled to just 150 individuals by the middle of the last century. Thanks to conservation efforts, they rebounded, and there are now more than 700 bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (the park and its surrounding wilderness).
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said the bears don’t need special protection anymore. “This achievement stands as one of America’s great conservation successes,” he said in a statement, “the culmination of decades of hard work and dedication on the part of state, tribal, federal and private partners.”
He’s not wrong: The revival of the Yellowstone grizzly is a huge conservation win. But some activists and tribal leaders are still worried that it’s too soon to declare victory, especially because of the uncertainties of climate change.
