My template for this summer

I've been knocking around this idea for a couple of years.  It was a design originally intended to be a step level reward for the Kickstarter project I put together to fund my first coloring book on Timberline.  I decided against it because of the amount of design time required for this piece while also designing the coloring book.  Just so happens I was recently going through my old notes and came across it again.  I still like the concept and it can be used for a variety of other projects I'm currently working on:

Late to the party

I attended a seminar yesterday and learned lots.  Those pesky cell phones that everyone seems to be glued to is driving a lot of change.  I learned my existing website is not mobile friendly so I'm going to have to catch up.  Gads, where to start.

The Unique Woodwork at Timberline Lodge

I normally never ever deviate from my plan but when it seems the universe is giving me not just one sign, but several, it's time to listen. So I went back to the drawing board and redesigned the book before it was published. It's similar but very different from what the original plan was.

The Wall

I gave my urban sketching paintings of the local area a place to live when they aren't at the courthouse by the narrow steps to upstairs.
