The Shadow Stream

Kirk Lombard is an author, angler, sustainable fishmonger, and tuba player who once worked inside the juvenile rehabilitation system. His first book, the award-winning Sea Forager's Guide to the Northern California Coast, was described as "poetry" for fish by NPR. He lives in Half Moon Bay with his family, raising his children on herring and sea shanties. Parker Thornton is an artist, adventurer and creative nomad from Austin, Texas. He draws much of his inspiration from time spent observing nature, exploring wilderness areas and life on the road. As a multidisciplinary artist, Thornton uses photography, drawing, and painting to reveal the sacred in the subtle-inviting us to look deeper, listen closer, and remember our connection to Earth. Working primarily in graphite, he creates intricately detailed pieces that illuminate the complexity and quiet wonder of the natural world.
