Tuolumne Camp... special staff tee design

Last week I took my mom, Marija, brother, Genji, and friend, Sara, to our favorite place on Earth, Tuolumne Family Camp on the South Fork of the Tuolumne River, about 1/2 hour from Yosemite National Park.  After camping with my family for the first 15 years of my life, and working for 7 summers on the kitchen staff there, it was my second year not working and my first year back as a camper, doing  a 3-day hula workshop as an Artist-In-Residence.  I had a fantastic time, catching up with our friends on staff and meeting familiar campers, now camper-to-camper, and really soaking in the refreshing sweet forest smells and pure mountain sunlight and starlight... not to mention basking in the sun by the clear, chilly river!  Heavenly!!

While we were there, our friend Sean, who still works on staff, asked if we could draw him a t-shirt design that he would use to silkscreen special shirts for this year's staff.  That afternoon during "Quiet Hour," Sara and I sat down in the shade on our cabin deck, talked about a general concept and then shared some seamlessly free-flowing, enjoyable collaboration in creating this design.  During the next day or so we put aside time to meet Sean during his off-time to prepare the silkscreen and print some test shirts.  I'll post some photos of my shirt soon. . .
