Sacramento area community musical theater (esp. DMTC in Davis, 2000-2020); Liberal politics; Meteorology; "Breaking Bad," "Better Call Saul," and Albuquerque movie filming locations; New Mexico and California arcana, and general weirdness.
While the rest of the world saw the scorched aftermath of the most destructive wildfire in California's history, artist Shane Grammer saw an empty canvas on which to create beauty and, perhaps, hope.
A creative director for theme parks, the former graffiti artist recently spent a week in Paradise, the town devastated by last year's Camp Fire.

Beautiful, and visionary.
