Proceeds from orca adoptions support ongoing education, research and public outreach through the Whale Museum. There were many whales up for adoption, and League artists voted to adopt Lazuli, an orca that’s 3 years old. (He’s the same age as the League!) In clean water with lots of Coho Salmon to eat, orca whales can live 90 years.

The way we process visual information causes colors to change in relationship to what they’re next to, giving us a constant source of optical illusions. This makes mixing accurate color rather complicated. Below are a few optical quandaries to illustrate how complicated this “accurate seeing” stuff …
Day 27 of our 30 day January Creative Challenge was inadvertently a cruel one. Komorebi is a Japanese word for sunlight filtering through the trees. In Seattle, January 27th supplied artists with neither leaves nor sun. Somehow, these innovative artists found their ways.
“Art should be like a holiday: something to give a man the opportunity to see things differently and to change his point of view.” – Paul Klee “I don’t think art is propaganda; it should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further.
