I met Bradley Bergey in Seattle where we worked together for two years at the Children’s Institute for Learning Differences on Mercer Island.

Around the same time, we each moved from Seattle to different parts of the world : I moved to Alaska and he moved to Mexico City. Over the next 4-5 years, we visited each other regular and I had the good fortune of watching him evolve from a naturally gifted painter into a focused and even more talented artist.

To boot, he’s an amazing educator, the kind of teacher I’m jealous his students get to have. World-traveled, intuitive, imaginative, playful and wise beyond his years - he’s a bona fide compliment to the practice.

Recently, Bergey was featured in Art and Letter, a monthly webzine focused on Architecture, Art and Design.

You can read the interview in its entirety here, if you likey.

He’s our pal and we’re very proud of him : )

Pollee and I recently returned from our old neighborhood in Juneau, Alaska for our pals’ [Jorden and Bret] wedding.

Juneau saw some of its finest weather that week and a pod of humpbacks graced us with their presence all weekend.

This is the best clip of them all - as a few of us stood on the shore at Adlersheim these beauties hung out in the bay at the closest range many of us have ever witnessed - the end of the clip shows Topaz standing within mere feet as they swim by.

Thanks, Ryan, for having your digi with you!

Jen and Phole are on their way to live and work near the hahbah in Bahston!

We celebrated with them on Tuesday night before they set off on their long journey, but not without helping workaround a glitch here and there ; )

Above you can enjoy a quick, stop-motion memory of the two of them discovering they’d successfully locked themselves out of their garage.

Fortunately, Phole was able to figure out the fit of the lock was just a lil on the tight side [Meta helped, too], which means it’ll fit juuuust right come winter.

Just like that, problem solved - which has me feeling that’s how smoov things will go for them in MA.

Safe journey - we’ll be out to visit soon : )

I’ve really been grooving on my pal AJ’s blog - that boy is on a ROLL this week!

Check out the latest coolness on YouTube compliments of Pop Levi [keep in mind these two videos are supposed to be side-by-side but the effect works just as well top-to-bottom -- hit play on each and follow on screen instructs] :
