Art for Parks

In the first days of August 2010, the fine folks at Hi-Tec Sports flew myself and two other artists, Riki Takaoka, and Davis Vu to Salt Lake City to participate in the Summer Outdoor Retailers' Convention for some quick drawing mayhem, beer, food, and general good times....

So...here's the office....

The theme of the booth was "Inspired by Life". Passers by would fill out these tags, letting us know what inspired them, and we would take about 10-20 minutes to draw them out, and they would come by later to pick them up. There was a high level of variety; it was pretty challenging to stay fresh!

Hard at work....or hardly working?

Jeep Offroading...

This kid was my favorite. I asked him what he would name an elephant if he had one. He thought for a minute, then said "hmmm...I love you." So I put it on the critter's hat...

He was all into the elephant thing.

White water rafting...

Drawing up the WORD

The FINAL WORD. Actually, it was Spoken Word. See that? See what I did there?

Here's the team...

...here's what we drank....why have just one? That's right...in the land of the Mormons... Polygamy Porter....

... and here's something we all drew together...
good times, good times....
