Clint Butte Is A Beaut

December 12, 2011

Back from Cowboy Christmas. Had a wonderful time seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Attended the NFR Finals Rodeo on Friday night. Charlie Daniels opened the show and kicked some major patootie. Noticed Hip Hop is creeping into the soundtrack (three different samplings). Inevitable, really.

Working on a cover idea with Clint Eastwood as a butte. An iconic butte, a la Monument Valley:
