Mural by Amy Zaremba  in Madison, WI Cheers to Mother Earth! What would we do without her? There is SO much beauty on this planet. It's the only one we have, so we need to do better. Much better. The pollution and litter are enough to make me want to scream daily. Are you living as sustainably as possible? While there is always room for improvement, here are the ways I contribute: I don't have a car. I use public transportation, bike, and walk. I carry reusable bags. I try not to buy food wrapped in plastic. If I do, such as a loaf of bread, I reuse the bag. I don't buy plastic water bottles. I have reusable bottles and recycle my Kombucha glass bottles for to-go beverages. If I'm traveling and I end up needing to buy water, I buy the boxed style. I recycle pretty much everything including the tins that mints come in. They make great little travel containers. I consume a vegan diet. I buy organic. I do just about everything online including paying bills and buying gift

I'm excited to share my first artist post featuring Milwaukee-based artist Drew York. I met Drew when he was live painting at Bridge Battle Alley. He introduced himself and gave me some cool stickers. He also shared his Instagram handle, and I have been following him ever since. I'm always eager to find his murals when I'm in Milwaukee. As you can see, Drew is a versatile artist who can paint just about anything. His largest mural is that of a fantastic "Hoptopus" painted on an exterior corner at Mobcraft Beer  (see cover image). I highly recommend getting a few cold ones at Mobcraft while sitting outside to appreciate this art. You can admire and purchase some of Drew's work hanging at Beard MKE . With the arrival of spring and summer approaching (🤞), I bet you can find him live painting at one of many pop-up events in the Milwaukee area. Drew also sells pirate rabbit stickers and enamel pins, which are available  here . A sign of spring at For Martha Drew
