My InvisibleBrother James and I recently did some camping/drawing/hiking/wave-riding in the Watch Hill area of Fire Island. Located on the western edge of the Otis Pike High Dune Wilderness it’s an amazing and uncrowded spot within 2 hours of New York City.

It was also pretty cool to see an illustration I made printed 25ft tall (upper left photo).
