This unique and intricate threaded mosaic by Seattle artist Nicholas Horcher @nphdraws was a bold viewer’s favorite. When asked how he learned to do this, he said he just figured it out.
Collaged imagery in an Instagram aesthetic beautifully illustrates the artist’s friends who attended a small Catholic Mexican school, 2672 miles from Seattle. Colored pencil on toned paper by Camila Vallejo @buildgrist

The artist was not injured, but the shooting impacted members of her family and friends. Claudia Marlenne Jasso Garcia, we love your artwork, and we admire your strength.
