The Palouse is usually portrayed in photos as some sort of Hobbits' shire. Green, growing, idyllic.-- Blah. Here's the ever-majestic Palouse as Mordor.

A ghost of gnats

These gnats swarm as the sun goes down, or at least that is when they stand out. Wikipedia says, this nightly swarm is known as a "ghost." Happy Halloween!

Here's one up close.

Manitses are Freaky

My brothers and I used to keep these as kids. We would feed them grasshoppers, or whatever else we could catch for them. They always eat the head first.

Still life with silk strand

Ever since starting law school, I have been increasingly interested in abstract art. Not that it should sell for millions, but after wrapping one's brain around Medicare enrollment periods, re-enrollment, penalties, and so forth, it's somehow fascinating to see the simple things.

Stylish Farmland

There are two ways to get a photo like this. Either the airplane tips on its side, or you fake it in photoshop.

Red-tailed Hawks

The large building next door has been sporting a pair of red-tailed hawks. My bird book accurately describes their call as "an asthmatic squeal, Keeer-r-r-r, Keeer-r-r-r, Keeer-r-r-r!" They call to each other about a million times a day, it gets old. I was surprised to discover that I could greatly increase my zoom factor by holding the camera up to my binoculars. Gotta love digital cameras.


Max Zoom on my Nikon CoolPix 4600.

Mid-zoom plus Simmons 10x50 binoculars. Not the best clarity, but pretty cool.

Split into new blogs

Now that I have a lawyer brain, I want to be more organized.

I'm putting all my law art in a new blog called Legal Fee.
I'm putting my Argonaut cartoons at krjargonaut.
Anything else I do, photos and stuff, will stay here.
My printable art is already at KRJproductions.

please

This one is called "please" because there's a little slip of paper with that word printed on it mixed in with this crazy cobweb. Click on it to get it bigger.

Summer Cartoon

This too, like all things, shall pass. Around here, 2.0 and up is passing.

People We Know Cartoons

The University of Idaho's school newspaper is the Argonaut. I did cartoons for most of the school year under the title "People We Know," which was a lot of fun. Thanks TJ.

I drew this before I decided to start a blog, but now it applies to me too.

The part about the quiz is true.

Law school professor caricatures

During my 1L year of Law school I made cartoons of all my professors. They were all great sports about it.


Professor Anderson, Criminal Law. By way of interpretation, this is a diagram that represents the criminality of a bear eating a man who is guilty of attempted drug running.

* * *

Professor Goble, torts, let me know that a cartoon can count as defamation. uh-oh.

* * *

Dean Seamon, Civil Procedure II. This isn't a real citation, but my dad was tricked into looking it up in the federal tax code.

* * *

Property, Professor Beard. The textbook had a color print of an abstract sculpture, several pictures inside, and two cases about paintings. The rest was all legal stuff.

* * *

Professor Bridy, Contracts. She came up with the contract in the background, it's official boilerplate contract terms.

* * *

Professor Friendshuh, Legal Research and Writing. There are special rules about when to italicize a comma, seriously.

* * *

Professor Williams, Civil Procedure I. Shoe, Jx, all that good stuff.
