Now we have arrived in the redwood area of north california. you can only understand the goosebuts that I get in sight of the huge, majestic trees, if you have a size comparison in the image. Or is it only when you are among them in your diminutive size?
we had met joan and jürgen on a campground in virginia in 2014 and they invited us spontaneously to stay on their driveway , if we should come to oregon. it was great to see them again and it was great to spend a few days with these guys in portland. thanks joan, thanks jürgen for your hospitality and friendship. your „full board driveway“ is highly recommended ☺
Davey explains and describes his work:
Davey Cadaver is a self taught artist residing in the Pacific Northwest. He is an avid reader, writer, magician, musician, apophenist, and dream interpreter. He is also interested in spirit animals, extraterrestrials, and the use of shamanic and medicinal plants. His current body of work centers around the self and questions the relationship between man and nature. Though Davey has shown his art in places across the world, his primary focus is exploration within. Through both research and hands on experience, Davey has captured the essence of a moment in time. He has incorporated organic elements such as coffee, tea, and walnut ink to connect the pieces further with the natural realm. Using his breath, seemingly random splatters transform and tell stories. He has planted the seeds, and now, the wind will carry them to those that are open to discovery.
it is very sad to report the end of hitchBOT´s journey across the United States. In Philadelphia vandals put it an end ☹ and we had hoped so much to take hitchBOT on board again. Here is the report on hitchBOT’s start crossing Canada.
After our alaska trip the atego was waiting for lubricate. And there were odd metal punches when we had hiden potholes. I searched the internet, found E & A Auto Repair, (they are doing service on european vehicles as well) and the good evaluation convinced me to choose this workshop and what can I say: Nazier Abuzied is a genius! Within seconds he had located the faults, fixed a few screws, cleaned all parts before he greased them again and checked everything. He even knew construction details of the atego which had evolved through the years, – although those vehicles are not available in north america.
Since 10 years Nazier is an american citizen. He was born and raised in the Sudan and in the age of 14 he owned his first car workshop. For some years he serviced the lamborghinis, bentleys and mercedes of the sheikhs before he founded his shop in Portland / Oregon. His perfect english is self taught and so is his technical knowledge . As I said, nazier is a genius!
