This drawing was made as a meditation of sorts on a shared moment with a Catalina island fox, one of the six subspecies of island foxes that are descendants of mainland gray foxes.

Heading to Catalina Island out of San Pedro to look for foxes and snorkel among abundant fishes will take you past Angels Gate Lighthouse, built in 1913. The 9,250’ breakwater was built with rock quarried from Catalina. You’ll likely see many seabirds, cetaceans and pinnipeds near the Port of Los Angeles, along with casual mariners and what feels like a greater number of enormous container ships overflowing with Earth’s grave goods.
