Faded bell-bottom jeans hang from a red rope between cottonwood trees near Kristin Link’s home in McCarthy, Alaska. The illustrations are life-like and show the motion of flight and a gleam in one raven’s eye. The illustrator is Kristin Link, winner of the 2021 Alaska Press Club Best Illustration Award and artist for the Copper River Record Nature Journal. The jeans belong to Jewel, who will wear them during music performances.
