Evan picked up this bleached skull in the Washakie Wilderness before the fire season of 1994. As is so often the case in extremis, things came into focus for Evan over the course of that summer and come winter time he painted the skull to reflect his understandings. A handful of things have been added over the years for the same reason. When it came time for Evan to embellish his outdoor designs with a maker's mark, it was only natural to adapt this longstanding personal symbol to the purpose.
