Portrait of David Owen Hastings

Hi, I’m David Owen Hastings.

I’m a graphic designer, gallery artist, and modern quilter. In my design office, I work exclusively with nonprofit organizations, helping them with their branding and graphic design projects. In my art studio, I create richly-layered contemporary art pieces and modern quilt and textile designs. Sharing knowledge, encouraging creativity, and teaching new skills are personal passions: I give lectures and workshops on branding, art and textile techniques. I love to travel, especially in Asia, and enjoy sharing my experiences through travel photos and stories.

How fun, we’ve been flocked! I peeked out the fr How fun, we’ve been flocked! I peeked out the front door this morning to see what kind of bird life I would see, and I sure was surprised to see a flock of partying flamingoes! 💕🦩🪩🦩🪩🦩💕
This is a FUNdraiser for the Sequim Senior Safe and Sober Graduation Party, a festive tradition in our small town. @sequimgradnight
The birds will hang out for a day, and the hosting property owners are encouraged to make a donation to the senior event. My check is in their pouch now! 💸 Recipients have the option of send the flock to a friend’s house or local business, with a little extra donation. 
I hope the Sequim Seniors of 2023 have a fantastic wrap up to their year, and a wonderful celebration where EVERYONE is welcome, including especially their LQBTQAI+ friends! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 
2023 Senior Class: make sure ALL your classmates know they are welcome, they are loved, and they can be exactly who they are! 💜❤️🧡💛💚💙

Rest in peace, our beloved Ally. ❤️🐕💔 T Rest in peace, our beloved Ally. ❤️🐕💔
This past Friday, Brian and I had to say goodbye to our beautiful girl. She rescued us 11 years ago, and our lives were forever changed for the better. 
She’s been my little sidekick, errand runner, and studio dog: and the house is way too quiet now. 
I am so thankful we opened our hearts to her. 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏿
If you met Ally, you know what a sweet girl she was… and so incredibly soft! 
These photos are some favorites from the past couple of years. Miss Ally was well documented 😂 and we love sitting down to pour over the photos and remember the good times with our girl. 
We were so lucky to meet Dr. Arbios of Trails West Veterinary: she came to our house and helped Ally pass in peace, in my arms, without pain. 🙏🏻
If you are ever thinking of adopting a rescue pet, do it! Your life will be enriched beyond measure. ❤️
