"Through The White"

As it turns out, for our newspaper Christmas is just about the busiest time of year(pretty much goes hand in hand with retail). But the week of Christmas is the most dead time of year, mostly because all that pre Christmas advertising is over with by the time the holiday rolls around. Unfortunately us artists still have be work. The week of Christmas was slower than slow and I had found a way to keep myself busy...I doodled trees!
The medium I used...a sheet of paper from the printer, my desk at work, a Papermate "Rocky Mountain Health Plans" #7 ball point pen, and a picture of the West End Lift at Powderhorn Resort with my camera of course =)

The Day It...Puked!

'Twas the day of December 8th, 2009. A glorious day in my mind, a day where getting to work proved to be difficult and the Grand Valley just stopped. A record 8 inches fell overnight, the most I've seen in Grand Junction in one dumping. Following this snow came the coldest days I've experienced in the Grand Valley. I woke up to -6, -9, -13 and I believe the highs only made it into the +double digits. Brrrrrrrr!

New Belgium Brewery's "Tour De Fat, Denver 2009"

A jumble of people, random articles of clothing, peddles and wheels, a parade and beer = the Tour De Fat!

I have compiled a picture with elements from 10 different photos taken back in September during my excursions in downtown Denver during the Tour De Fat. This was the most extensive time consuming Photoshop piece I have done so far...
