Welcome to the Skunkbear files
an email list, A newsletter, A quiet little place where I can open my sketchbook and my mind to you.
These dispatches will not be regular. They'll happen when I'm traveling and have exciting new drawings burning a hole in my pocket. Or when I have a talk, class or exhibition to tell you about. At the moment, they’ll be about my thru hike of the Continental Divide Trail.
Self Portrait of a Skunkbear
Q: What is a skunkbear?
I am a Skunkbear. It's another name for a wolverine, animals known for their voracious appetites, their ceaseless scavenging. It became my trail name because of my voracious appetite and my ceaseless scavenging. It's also a funny name for a serious thing, and wrapping a serious thing in funny is my favorite way to cartoon.
