Illustration Friday: Smoke

Five firefighters lost their lives battling the Esperanza Fire in Southern California last month:

Pablo Cerda, 23
Daniel Hoover-Najera, 20
Mark Loutzenhiser, 43
Jason McKay, 27
Jess McLean, 27

The blaze was a result of arson, which should be considered an act of terrorism.

Smokey the Bear needs to shed his nice-guy image and start baring his teeth.

Peace to you and deepest respects to the families of the fallen five.

Illlustration Friday: Wind

Thursday night... almost didn't make this week's post. Started doodling and ended up with a wild-haired dude in a trench coat. Put him up on a cliff in the wind. Don't think he's gonna jump, but I really don't know what he's up to. Communicating with, or shouting at, God?

Peace, and may the wind always be at your back.
