[Art Inside] Your 2026 Superb Owl


Happy Superb Owl 10!

Right back where we started from….

Ten years ago I got out some ink and painted a barn owl while the Super Bowl was on, and decided to auction it off for charity. The project got some legs and I did it again, and again, and again, and now it has been a whole decade of Superb Owl paintings, and just about a thousand dollars raised for wildlife rehabs in cities (okay, mostly Kansas City) all over the country.

I happen to be on the road this week, but I didn’t want this milestone to go by without an Owl, so I went right back to the beginning and did a re-paint of the original ink wash barn owl in Procreate. 12x18 prints are available now. That’s right, no auction this year, because there’s no original.

All owl print sales in the month of February will benefit PAWS Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Seattle, Washington.

If you have been wanting to be a part of the Superb Owl donation, this year is a great year to get in on it for a very friendly price.

Thank you so much for helping me make this weird thing I did on a whim one Sunday so long ago into an annual tradition that brings some positive change to our wild neighbors all over the country!

A postcard from Helix Wilderness Park

I've been building this in secret for months, and you're the first people I'm inviting in. The first Dispatch ships in August. Helix Wilderness Park is this several-thousand-acre wilderness park somewhere along Northern California's Redwood Coast. It's run by a crew of dedicated Rangers stationed at fire watch towers scattered around the park. They don't have a ton of funding, but they try really hard to roll with all of the weird stuff that happens out in the woods (some of the Rangers would...

With Very Few Apologies to Shepard Fairey This is more philosophical than legal, and I might be ruled in the wrong if I get hit with a takedown, but whatever, I'll risk it while I make my little treatise on street art and soverignty.The thing is, pasteups and slaps are illegal, but they are a part of the urban landscape. Who do they belong to, and who gets to iterate on them? I would argue that once they are public, they belong to all of us.Who do the Hollywood Hills belong to? The lions were...
