Dear reader,
Rain-couver is a state of mind. It is a state of readiness. It is a way of life. It is a humble acceptance of the fallibility of forecasters and weather apps. Surrounded by mountains, slapped against the ocean, here at the western edge of the world, it is a refusal to capitulate to grey skies.
Maybe you also know it in your part of the world. Rain-couver might be bigger than any one place.
The SneakyArt Post is a publication of secretly drawn art of the world. Every week, I share the latest drawings from my sketchbook and the best ideas from my journey of self-education as an artist and writer.
If you like having SneakyArt in your inbox, share it with another person who might like it too.
Dear reader, does any single season capture the spirit of your city, town, village, or region?

Dear reader, how is your relationship with the undo buttons of your life?
