My California

My piece on the violence, trauma, and poverty looming over the central coast and valley beyond. For the Californians who don't live the glamor of Hollywood or the pretensions of Dogpatch. For the Californians with dirt in their nails and a bone to pick their bloodline, this is My California.

It was the Day of Remembrance, and Pri wanted to be alone at the memorial. She was thinking about the injustice that occurred to her Japanese family. In one moment, they had a decent business that just made it through the Depression. The next, they were on a train heading to an assembly camp before being shipped out to Manzanar. The stories of the cold and the dust that entered the barracks, the thought of betrayal from their country just for being who they were. It's too much to think about. Especially for a soft soul like Pri. So, she sits there shivering, just wondering why. "Why us? Will something like this happen again?" The only she can do was pray for the best.

As much as I love my area, I can't ignore the dark history that surrounds it. Especially if it left a mark on the many cultures in the Central Valley. And with a day like yesterday (the Day of Remembrance), I had to make a story around it. So I made one about Pri due to her Japanese heritage. It's my way to address this injustice.

New Wetlands in Central Valley, Phantom Smoke in Sierras

Oct. 15, 2023

Day one of our Denver expedition took us through South Lake Tahoe and into Carson City, NV. I don't usually have very eventful photos from the first gifting day on account of going through places we've already gifted. The sky over everywhere we've gifted was blue and clear and DOR sky could be seen only in the far distance, all the way through the Central Valley and into Nevada. Our gifting began once again once we hit Highway 50 just past Sacramento.

There were new wetlands in the Central Valley that I wish I could have gotten a better photo of, but it was difficult from the freeway. There were beautiful reeds and water birds and grazing cattle along the water. These wetlands went on for miles and I have never seen them before, even though I've been on that drive more times than I can count.

In the Sierras around South Lake Tahoe, the air looked smoky and i could smell it too. There were thousands of acres of burned trees, but this was from a past wildfire. We wondered where the fire was. So I checked the Cal Fire incident map and found nothing! The three fires on the map from farther north are long out, with the last updates by Cal Fire in early September.

There is no active fire up in the Sierras currently, so the smoke would have had to be from a prescribed burn. With the background of burned trees from a past fire, this scene could really screw with people's heads. That seems to be the idea with the prescribed burns now.

We gifted all the towers along Highway 50 and places that needed the energetic boost like wildfire areas. We will continue into Utah tomorrow.

This is from a hike in the Miner's Ravine Trail in Roseville, California. The area is intensely beautiful, and translates well to black and white.

Man I miss the rain, it's been years of drought in Northern California. Had to move a bit east and it's nothing but snow, I love the sound of raindrops against my window. It's probably one of the few things that truly make me feel at ease. Snow, a newer experience to me in my 31 years of life, is the most miserable thing on this planet outside of Chrismas movies and postcards. Anyways here's a little chop I did, not the first or the last, and certainly not the best because this was just a quick cookup. Still, the sample speaks for itself it is just a few bars of melancholy and soul.

I drew this pic after researching the story of the Tulare lake. This image was a fun excuse to practice drawing rainfall on Procreate. Anyway, enjoy this scene of a freight passing by the reemerged Tulare Lake.

California Fact #3:

The state border starts at the Santa Monica pier and ends in Echo Park. The west Mojave, Tahoe, the Sierras, Central Valley, the bay area, the redwoods, San Diego, and Sacramento are often mistaken as part of California but are in fact known to locals as No Man’s Land.
