One evening this summer as i I was on my way home from the airport I received a telephone call from my friend Jay informing me he’d be in front of my house and I should be ready to go to Bolinas for the night. I was just returning from a work trip and needed sleep but since I’m always up for an adventure I decided to go along for the ride and not put up a fight. Im glad i went along. If you have ever been, you know what I’m talking about. Bolinas is a coastal community best known for its reclusive residents. Historically, it is only accessible via unmarked roads; any road sign along nearby Highway One that points the way into town has been torn down by local residents. Bolinas and its reclusive reputation are featured in the 1981 novel Ecotopia Emerging by Ernest Callenbach. I have not read it yet. 
Here we see the mix of pillows…You know I love patchwork. 
And teh mix of patterns keeps on going 
Wish I’d have shot this with the other gun. Colours woulda been truer. 
These tweed Birkenstock things are pretty rad in the outdoors. 
Thank You Nile.
Ran into this dude as I was walking out of my office the other day. We wear tweed all June, July and August here in SF! We struck up a conversation after after asking if we could take each others picture. I went home and checked his site, He has been shooting similar characters for the last 20+ years.
I especially love these twins
Who knew Reyn Spooner made swim trunks?!?!?
Kurt hit me up a while back and we have been exchanging emails and pleasantries ever since. He very humbly wrote telling me he enjoys drawing the characters on my site. I figured someone who enjoys my subjects and their kits as mush as I do must be cool. Then the mail arrived
Dont be nosy, no reason to read the letter, point is look at that chuck taylor (belonging to his girlfriend Ann who’s pretty fucking rad herself!)
The sketches are exactly what I wish I could doodle!
On his most recent drawing trip to New York (he brings his students along!) to meet with some illustrators and artists/designers I had the honor of finally meeting Kurt. In the short time we had together I flipped through 3 of the heavy books he had carried along and snapped just a few of his amazing sketches.
Not sure this fellas from my site, but he is special! Kurt is just awesome.
I searched the world wide web and found some accurate words on Kurt: Habitual sketchbook practitioner—Kurt Hollomon’s work employs the direct observational drawing style that gives his illustrations a sense of reality tempered with a quirky, spirited line. Former Mt. Rainier climbing guide, Kurt has been art director, designer and now illustrator as well as teacher of drawing and illustration at Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Oregon. A modern day Magellan with a Micron or possibly Lewis or Clark in a Land Rover; bouncing towards the southern tip of Patagonia with a cheese sandwich and bottle of water tossed into a shoulder bag filled with drawing supplies… few artists have been able to capture the beauty, history, and happiness of the outdoor lifestyle as Kurt has.

OK, I dont love his shoes, but givethe fella a break! He’s straight killing it head to hem.
