Working on five projects at the moment. Have another road trip in the works. Going to film a new promotion for the Westerns Channel in Tombstone, one in the Palace Saloon in Prescott, one in Monument Valley and one on the Durango-Silverton Train. Very ambitious project, but should be fun.Tweaking a new ad campaign for True West based on our slogan: "We take you there." For example, we might run this photo with the question: "Do you like old photographs?"
We take you there.
Sweet, no?
Yesterday, finished a painting I started a long time ago. Had a patina background of funky sepia stained colors. Found it last weekend and added some crude clouds, then married the whole thing to a sketch I found, which I poached out on old Arizona Highways (1977) of a Yaqui Deer Dancer. I call this "The Deer Head Boy":
This morning I finished another landscape I started over the weekend. This one is "Alkali Riders":
Utilized a postcard image of Hualapais riding in a Kingman parade on Front Street, early 1900s, which Dan The Man Harshberger sent me via email.
