"The Accidental Artist in Backcountry Magazine"

This past weekend I went on a little trip south. While heading to the mountain home, I had a chat with a nice feller in Vermont. Tyler Cohen was his name and he was wanting to write an article for Backcountry Magazine. It was to be a promotional piece about the last round of G3's Skigraphiks Contest. As I drove out of Delta, CO toward Montrose, we chatted about the how I came up with my design, what inspired me, how and why I entered the contest and so on... http://www.backcountrymagazine.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=684&Itemid=5
Of course, you can read all the details in post from last month! 

"Nola Svoboda Wins Skigraphiks Round 3"

Thank you to all who rooted for my top sheet design!!!

The announcement was officially made on Genuine Guide Gear's blog on December 8, 2011! http://www.genuineguidegear.com/life/blog/g3/nola-svoboda-wins-skigraphiks-round-3

My design, "Compound of Enlightenment" for the ZenOxide ski, "was one of the most popular among viewers on the contest site, was the favorite of BentGate.com staffers, the co-sponsor of the third segment of the competition, and also deemed the best design by a panel of G3 judges." In winning round three of the contest I, "will take home a free pair of the skis and a limited number will be available for pre-order exclusively" at Bent Gate Mountaineering in Golden, CO
