Prize-winner, Mark Fiore, who the Wall Street Journal has called “the undisputed guru of the form,” creates animated political cartoons in San Francisco, where his work has been featured regularly on the San Francisco Chronicle’s web site, SFGate.com. His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark

You’re likely to get a close up view of the birds flying low across the water, Tule elk grazing on Tomales Point, and jellyfish doing a mesmerizing dance through the water. If you go between March and June, you may even catch harbor seal pups on Hog Island. Paddle out from Miller Boat Launch ($5 parking) to explore Hog Island and the shoreline around White Gulch. From there, head south and pull up onto any of the many beaches along the way. At this time of year, you’re bound to have it to yourself!

If you want to get wet, book your surf lesson in advance through \u003ca href=\"https://norcalsurfshop.com/surf-lessons/\">Norcal Surf Shop\u003c/a> ($94 per person for a group lesson). They'll set you up with a rental wetsuit and board and you'll be in the water hanging ten in no time!

You can take a short stroll or do the whole 2.8 mile hike. Either way, you'll be rewarded with gorgeous scenery.

If you're looking for a more elevated atmosphere, head across the freeway to \u003ca href=\"https://www.pacificabrewery.beer/\">Pacifica Brewery\u003c/a>. This cute gastropub has plenty of space indoors and outdoors, and they even have live music on their backyard stage occasionally. The food is good and the beers are tasty.

This isn't your new and trendy bowling alley: here, you'll be rolling next to the regulars in matching shirts and the kids’ birthday parties. Slide around in those funny bowling shoes ($5) and play a few friendly (or extremely competitive) games.

If you're looking for a more elevated atmosphere, head across the freeway to \u003ca href=\"https://www.pacificabrewery.beer/\">Pacifica Brewery\u003c/a>.
