Re-drawing some fish from my sketchbook, I’ve updated the header for my website. I’ve also added a black & white pdf of these fun fish to print and color at your heart’s delight. Enjoy! -Tomas    

Audrey and I are still loving the tiny house life and have been blogging about it over at Trying on Tiny. Although we’ve had to face a few challenges in the last 19 months of living in 160-square feet, we’ve pulled through all of them while still loving each other more than ever. All my […]

Way back on January 1, a couple of artists I follow on Twitter decided to start a sketchbook challenge and had invited other artists to participate. I had been looking to do more drawing so this sounded like fun! Drawing each day for 31 days to fill a 110-sheet 5.5″x8″ sketchbook proved to be extremely […]

I’ve had this Trek Singletrack 930 from Craigslist for almost 2 years now but for the last 8 months it’s been sitting around gathering dust after switching all the parts to a Soma Saga. It’s really kind of a mis-mash of new and old parts, color-coordination, and just parts I had handy. It was a great […]

Over the last few years, I’ve become increasingly interested in volunteering in Search and Rescue. A good friend of mine has been involved in the Pacific Northwest Search and Rescue (PNWSAR) for some years and had been kind enough to introduce me to other members, training exercises, and even admittance to the Search and Rescue […]

The Portland chapter of the Baden-Powell Service Association is forming! Welcome to the 55th Cascadia Scouts! I feel so proud to be on the ground work for such an inclusive scouting platform and look forward to helping parents and kids, boys & girls, discover the fun of the outdoors and scouting in general. Yesterday was […]

I had only recently heard of the “Global Game Jam” on Friday evening but had resigned myself to helping some friends move by bike on Saturday and that I would have to wait until next year to participate. However, after helping some mutual friends move house by bicycle, my fellow team-mate informed me he was […]

Just a spread from my 2013 Moleskine sketchbook. 18 characters from no particular genre or reason, just to draw within the rectangular confines I established for each character. Download the PDF version of this drawing so you can print, color it, and post a picture of your colored page. I just ask that you not […]

I’ve finally added “The Pegamüs” shirt to my store. There are currently only two options for style and colors, but the shop is very flexible and allows you, the buyer, to select the color of your choice. If there is a shirt style you prefer, please send me an e-mail request and I’ll post it […]

My friend Ethan invited Audrey and I to go snowshoeing at Trillium lake as part of a Search and Rescue training mission preparation. I haven’t been much for snow sports but after trotting around in the snow, plotting GPS coordinates, talking on the radios, and seeing some utterly beautiful scenery, I could see myself doing […]

The world didn’t end! 2012 has been a crazy for year for me. Lots has changed in my life, better, worse, strange, and exciting. Shacked up with my lovely girlfriend, Audrey Stayed at the Clifftop Inn Toured the Oregon Coast for 10 Days on Bicycles Still Fun-employed My own personal art showing at Bikeasaurus Visited […]
