BEHIND THE STORY | It’ll happen sometime in this life that you’ll find yourself in places you were always meant to be, doing the things you love most in this world with people that make your heart happy....that my friends is the definition of heaven on earth. Over the past few months I’ve spent a lot of time traveling and photographing the American West. Through the course of this time I’ve found that the rugged individual spirit I’ve always felt so at home with in Appalachia is still alive and well there too. This series of drawings, photos and sketches is a testament to that spirit. Inspired by long nights under the stars, desolate highways, dusty boots, good bourbon and even better stories from forgotten huntin’ camps about the remnants of a fading way of life.
