Shacking Up with J. Otto and John Muir

Artist J. Otto Seibold grew up in Martinez, California, across the street from John Muir's home, which is now the John Muir National Historic Site.

In conjunction with OMCA's exhibition A Walk in the Wild: Continuing John Muir’s Journey, the Oakland Standard asked artist and illustrator J. Otto to delve into his self-admitted Muir obsession. The artist will visit sites along Muir's original trek from Yosemite to San Francisco, and document these sites as Muir might have, should he have been a naturalist in 2011.

The artist will create an online travelogue in the form of photographs, essays, and short videos. Shacking Up with J. Otto and John Muir will conclude in January 2012.
