Film Festival Program

Well I am pleased to say that the program I designed for the 2009 Durango Independent Film Festival is a finalist at the International Film Festival Summit (to be held in Las Vegas Dec. 6-8) for an Excellence Award!!! Winners will be voted on and announced at the Conference.

The award is the Livre d’ Or Award
Presented to the film festival with a well organized and exceptionally laid out program booklet. Special emphasis will be placed on uniqueness, layout and creative design. http://www.filmfestivalsummit.com/eawards.html

Mountain Lion!

My plan is to do a big cat series, so this is the first of four. This particular mountain lion lives at a wildlife refuge in Pagosa Springs, CO. She played hide and seek with me for a bit until she jumped out and ran at the fence. That was the end of the games for me…

Cardinal Fan

This piece was made for a friend for his new baby. He’s a huge sports fan – I even found a stamp from the first Superbowl!
