Another life drawing I did in my head drawing class.

Sometimes you see a photo that stops everything you’re doing just thinking about the effort to plan this. “This striking photo shows a skydiver perfectly aligned with the sun's fiery surface, around 93 million miles … from Earth. (Image credit: Andrew McCarthy/cosmicbackground.io)”

Aw man! My dad’s classmate from Art Center. Loved so much about Drew and his work.

Which song did you learn in school? I liked “My home’s in Montana, I wear a bandanna, My spurs are of silver, my pony is gray. Whatever the weather, we travel together, With foot in the stirrup, I’ll gallop all day.” The best.

A pen and ink life drawing I did as a demo in my head drawing class.

This is lovely. I saw this a year ago. I’m about done with my goal of watching every episode of TTZ. Rod Serling and my grandfather fought in the same battles in the Philippines during WWII, and the episodes in that setting are particularly powerful & has in an odd way connected me more with grandpa

Woo Hoo! Front row seats at the 5pm & four rows back for 8pm concerts of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones last night at the Warren Miller PAC in Big Sky just 40min North of my home. What a great night of Music I have loved so long.

A year ago Blue Ridge Banjo Campers performed Cassidy Beenjtes’ arrangement of Rhapsody in Blue with Bela fleck, this year we did his Arr. of J.S. Bach violin Concerto in C. The arts keep my peace, hold my hope, fuel my resistance, light my way and soothe every circling beast and bring me love.

Everybody know this is the problem. Fix it! Montana will start. transparentelection.org

Aww Man . . . I ran a spotlight at one of concerts in 1984. I was a big fan and he was very generous with his time. I Loved his music. abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/...

My favorite Saturn 5 Rocket photo. MaxQ during Apollo 6 All-Up unmanned test. Fun fact: First Stage burned 30 rail-Road Tanker cars of Kerosine and Liquid Oxygen in a minute and a half! Over 6 million pounds of thrust put the stack 30 miles up and 30 miles down range before staging.

I was on the bird-app since 2009, walked away when the megalomaniac turned it into a dystopian mess to expedite turning the US into a dystopian mess. Blue Sky has become a great place to share what I love and find community in good faith with a cautious optimism that we can fix our dystopian mess.

My dad did the cover art for the LP record of the audio highlights of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing, 56 years ago today. I was 7 & remember that night like it was only 15 years ago. 😀 By the time Gene & Harrison put over 100 Km on the moon buggy during Apollo 17, I was sure we’d be on mars by now.

I live in a town with hardly any 3rd Spaces. I want to fix that. “social relations in America have been put through a blender of extreme market extraction at the same time that govt/charitable support for 3rd spaces, extracurriculars, social clubs, etc have fallen to their lowest point in decades.”

Read this. And then call your Senator and tell them to save NASA science. www.planetary.org/articles/sci...

Walk with me where erosion has cut through a geyser basin along the south rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River. Breathtaking.

When our institutions cannot or will not fulfill their responsibilities, our constitutional system of checks and balances has failed. SCOTUS failed to enforce the emoluments clause, the presidential impeachment clause, and sec. 3 of the 14th amendment. (Illustration Bruce MacKinnon 2018)

J. Scott Campbell’s portrait of the only elected POTUS receiving more than 51% of the vote since Eisenhower— twice! Is my favorite illustration of this former editor of the Harvard Law Review, Constitutional Lawyer, husband to Michelle Robinson and father of Melia and Sasha.

I like Ike. My grandpa cooked for him and played Santa Claus for Ike and Mamie’s kids. I will always be an Eisenhower Republican. If you know, you know.

The author of this melodrama (we produced live dinner theater for years) liked my logo for his show so much, he called me asking if he could keep it. (Of course!) What a fun summer that was.

My very first post on BlueSky. I did this 48” x 120” oil painting of Lookout Point a while ago. This is still my favorite spot close to my home.

Yay! I figured out why my previous post was blurry of the painting I did on the walls of my grandkids’ little play room. All scenes from cherished books and fun together. I love adding something new each time I visit.

This is going to make you feel very small. Fly away from the surface of Earth, past the Sun, out of the Solar System, through the closest stars, leave the Milky Way, to the cosmic web of galaxies in the nearby Universe.

This May 4th is the 7th anniversary of a surgery to remove 1/3 to 1/2 of my oral tongue to rid my body of Squamous Cell Carcinoma, an aggressive cancer that kills most men in 3 yrs. & half who survived year 3, by year 5. I’m a lucky boy to have survived. I’m an illustrator, the drawing is accurate.

The average American has three friends.

After Bill Anders took the Earth Rise photo on Apollo 8, Congress passed the clean air act, clean water act, and . . . Yep! EARTH DAY! I remember the first one. We cleaned up the playground! Really good! It was the first time I heard the phrase “fine tooth comb” that didn’t involve my buzzy.

I think the one on the the on the bottom right was where I had one of the best jams of my life. I didn’t get a picture of the outside, so I’m not sure. These are wonderful.

Our Ravens are: - huge. - territorial - mate for life. - live to be 50. - carry grudges - remember you - smart as heck! - share raising young. - symbiotic with wolves. - So cool and kinda like me.

I haven’t been able to get to my favorite spot since my last snowcoach tour during the winter season, but Yellowstone opens next weekend! My profile wallpaper is a 10’ wide oil painting I did of this spot. Peace.

Sometimes when I tell people I grew up at the West Gate of Yellowstone Park, I get some pretty interesting reactions. Yes, bears were everywhere, yes we rode our stingray bikes everywhere anyway, yes I saw Snaggletooth (big famous grizzly) with my bare eyeballs. So many stories to share here.

Congratulations to our West Yellowstone Varsity Co-Ed Zip Line team for winning at Divisionals, and through local steam no less! Go Wolverines!

✨Quote Repost with your artwork that has stars in it 🌠 This was an album cover (I did several) for the the fictional London band Smoke Screen for a terrific indie film written & directed by Marc Blake. This orbiting venue I imagined is receiving concert goers for an epic zero G party. (Oil/acryl)

Nobody knew about the moons of Jupiter before 1610, but they were there all along. #proverb That's the difference between facts and knowledge. The facts didn't change, but the knowledge did. After 1610, the knowledge was very unevenly distributed.

This thread is incredible. Poetic and sharp.

True! Not only that—Tongue and throat cancer in men go down with the HPV vaccine.

I’m going to agree with this. #yellowstone #geology #volcano ⚒️🧪

Welp! I’ve done my last snowcoach tour for this 2024/ 2025 season into Yellowstone National Park. Always cool to see bear tracks! These tracks across the bacteria mat of Grand Prismatic Spring appear to my eyes to be from a black bear. Usually, the males are out a couple weeks before mama bears.

Voyager 1 is now more than 15 billion miles from Earth, nearing the theoretical edge of our solar system. One day soon, we'll lose contact with it forever. 🧪

this is *INCREDIBLE* It's what landing on the Moon looks like, 2025 edition

i feel like we all need another timeline cleanser

Ah, man. Buried my father today. Whether it’s a long goodbye or not. It’s tough losing your dad. Lovely celebration of his amazing life. So proud of my family. Love you dad. We’ll always remember you.

So delightfully odd and, well, otherworldly.

Walk with me to check out the frosty pines around one of the most active steam vents on earth at Beryl Springs in Yellowstone Park today. Temps were between -30F and -15F most of the day today. All this steamy fog is from this thermal feature between Gibbon Falls and Norris Geyser Basin.

Walk with me to see one of my favorite geysers in Yellowstone: Fountain Geyser. Always an exciting eruption!
