watercolors and hiking

I’m so inspired by this new blog that I recently stumbled across. Kolby has recently done some impressive long hikes (like the Pacific Crest Trail, or PCT). He makes me feel motivated to get out and find some day hike trails each week.

I’m most impressed by the journals that he keeps, though. His artwork is beautiful:

He even shared a DIY project for how to put together a lightweight watercolor pencil palette.

In June he’ll begin a 400+ mile hike into the Sierra. I’m excited to read more updates….

Happy trails, Kolby!

Having a good camera is like having some kind of weird disease. I HAVE to stop everything that I’m doing, no matter where I am, and take pictures of mundane shit. It’s compulsive and impossible to resist. I MUST take pictures of things that call to me.

Artists, is this what it’s like to make art? To feel like you MUST create something? I’ve never really experienced anything like this before. I just want to take pictures all the time.
