Alluvial, an art installation representing the reclamation of this part of Tacoma from industry to natural habitats. A series of seven 15ft pipes to represent the giant smokestack on this site that was demolished in 1993. The furthest is intact, with each subsequent stack cut into smaller and smaller pieces in wider and wider lines. Weeds and wildflowers are left to grow among the pieces.

A message from Dan Frazier and Wizards of the Coast: Recently, fans noted the similarities between The One Ring by Marta Nael, and the newly released image of The One Ring by Dan Frazier. Those similarities are not coincidental, unfortunately. From Dan, I made a mistake, and I feel awful. I especially feel for Marta, whose work I adore. In trying to create an iconic version of The One Ring, while looking at references online, I ended up using Marta's ring as a reference and painted over it to try to depict the item fans hold dear to their hearts. In doing so, I didn't make it my own. I'm reaching out to Marta privately to apologize artist to artis. I love creating art for Magic, I've loved being a part of this artist community for more than 30 years, and I'm sorry I've let my fans down. Sincerely, Dan Frazier. From Wizards of the Coast, Dan Frazier is a titan of the art industry and of Magic: The Gathering. He has created so many iconic pieces of art for the game that he will forever be a part of our game, and we value his contributions tremendously. With that in mind, we're disappointed our review process didn't catch the issue. Like Dan, we have already reached out to apologize to Marta Nael for not catching the use of her art in this piece. None of this was intentional, but we're going to make right as much as we can. On digital versions of the card, we will credit both Dan Frazier and Marta Nael. We will also make sure Marta is compensated for her work here. This is a good moment to recognize that we are all humans who make mistakes. Dan made a mistake. We made mistakes in our process to not catch the error. We don't condone or accept either, but we still value Dan and his contributions and are grateful for his place in the game. Thank you the eagle-eyed fans who noticed this, and for all of you for being strong advocates for amazing art and artists. Sincerely, all of us at Wizards of the Coast

Screen cap from my phone of the landing page for infowars dot com. It is almost completely blank, save for “Off Air” in very, very tiny font - the size usually reserved for legalese at the bottom of a page - in the middle of the screen.
Yahoo Serious as Young Einstein in "Young Einstein". A man with wild red hair and a crazed expression stands with his left leg propped up on a fallen log. He's wearing a brown duster, white button down shirt, and pink and white striped shorts. He carries an instrument that is part guitar, part keyboard, with a half dozen gauges around the face. As Lisa Simpson said, "I know those words, but that sign doesn't make any sense."

Sunset, Tacoma, WA, 11/11/25. The sun is just about to dip below the horizon behind trees. The sky is filled with thin lines of cloud that catch the sun in such a way that they look like an ocean of gold extending on to another horizon defined by fuller darker clouds over the “ocean”.

The only bear native to South America, the Andean bear. Looks like the stereotypical concept of a bear, but mostly black with blondish markings like a mask around the eyes and down the chin. This particular bear is giving the camera a rather hard stare, so we know Michael Bond got *that* part right, at least, when developing Paddington.
Actor Arti Shah in costume as Paddington for "Paddington: The Musical". Paddington wears trademark floppy red hat and tag that reads "Please look after this bear, thank you" and carries a suitcase as he walks through Paddington Station.
