I’ve had this finished a long time and almost didn’t post it.
There really is a Mattress Ranch on the way to Olympia Washington.
It was the source of much amusement as we drove up in the morning to work at the Washington State Legislative Building. In the end we pulled off th I-5,
I sketched the overall, and took pictures of the details.
Mostly a mish-mosh of cows and pigs and roosters,
in varying styles — not sure if they ordered them or made them locally.
I offer them to you. The stylized drawings reflect the nature of the place.
I assure you the colors are accurate!
Drawn in an Stillman & Birn Delta journal with a Preppie pen
and Noodler’s Polar Brown ink. Daniel Smith watercolors.

What a hilarious and wonderful place! Nicely rendered in a child’s book illustration kind of way.

Kate. This post had me totally flumoxed 😉 I ended up on Google. Mattresses? Farm animals? What do they sell? Do they have animals on the beds? Crazy place. I love it!

They sell mattresses . . . using images of animals in a barn. I kid you not!
