I’m still around, just been very busy here in Afghanistan.

Another cold November morning on the rifle range. Drawing with two layers of gloves on is good practice. Ink and gouache, 2012.

As a general rule, weather on a Marine Corps rifle range is an amped-up, worse version of whatever weather is going on in the rest of the base. If it’s a little chilly out, the range will be an utter Fimbulwinter and have blasts of ice-cold wind. If it’s a bit warm and humid out, the range will be a steaming swamp and have constant downpouring rain.

And if it’s just really mild and temperate out, you’re going to get attacked by bees on the firing line.
