There's a lot of art that I am really excited about that will hopefully be getting put up here before too long. I have been trying new stuff and exploring different styles.
Stay safe, readers.

Memorial Day
Sorry it has been a long hiatus here at staticalaska. There has been no scarcity of artwork here--I would say more than anything else it has been a lack of confidence on most of the new stuff. Anyway, I figured that we were just getting into Memorial Day here, so this would be fitting to put up. It's a sad holiday.

Critical Mass Tacoma - May 2009
[cross-posted from moink.net]
After last month's monstrous success (nearly one hundred riders!), Critical Mass in May is on! Meet up at the corner N 9th St and N Madison St. Not sure where to go? Check out the magical Google Maps: link
But what is Critical Mass?
Critical Mass bike rides are spontaneous, leaderless rides that begin at specific times and locations in various cities around the world. Since no one organizes the rides, the rides have no agreed agenda or demands. They aren’t a protest. Instead, when we ride on Critical Mass, we’re living the world we would like to see–filling the streets with bikes, laughter, human speed, clean air, engagement and life. At Critical Mass, we can bike down the street safe from speeding cars–together–empowered by our numbers. Critical Mass is a celebration.
Critical Mass rides sometimes enrage car drivers because bike traffic competes with car traffic for space on the road. Cars have their critical mass 29 days of the month when bikes get crowded out. It’s called rush hour! Critical Mass is a single day when bike traffic briefly outnumbers car traffic. Maybe in 50 years, bikes will outnumber cars everyday. As concerns about global warming increase, people are searching for alternatives like bikes. A community of cyclists is developing–demanding respect and some space on the road.
