Designing a poster for this year's live nativity!

I have been designing a advertisement poster for the live nativity. Yesterday afternoon I created rough a concept painting to give me an idea of what I am looking for.

This is the concept design, and below is the rough design that I did this afternoon in Photo shop.

After creating a idea of what I think will work, I'll fine tune the final design with some different images and lighting. I must say, I am pretty happy with the results of my first project in Photo Shop. I will post the final result when I finish it.

The Auction!

Here is a picture of me and my box at last nights auction.

It was a fun night! My box ended up selling for $3,500.00.

So that is encouraging!

Auction!

This evening is the Auction for the Box that I painted for Brandon's, "Brandon Thinks outside the Box" 2008, fundraiser. It will be interesting to see what it goes for.
I know that there have been a few bids made on it already. I will attach a photo of the box soon. And will post what it goes for.

Scrolls for this year's Live Nativity!

I have been busy today, creating a blog for this years live nativity and aging some scrolls that I made a few weeks ago. They are for the roman tax collector's booth. Below is a picture of the scrolls before and after I did color changes.

This is a box that I painted last week to sell at the Brandon Artist's Guild. This is the third small box that I have done. The others sold very quickly.

I called it, "The Green Banks of Summer".

Painting complete!

I finished my painting of Lake Champlain. Yesterday I picked it up from my printer. (North 7 Studios) So I am getting a CD ready to send into the Willowell Foundation to enter my piece.

FIREPROOF!

Live Nativity!

Last December we put on a live nativity for our community. We are hoping to do the same again this year. This is, kind of a mini trailer I put together using some of last years production footage.
We are starting to get things ready for this years live nativity. I will post more info on our progress as things come together. For more info and pictures click this link: http://www.livenativity2008.blogspot.com/ I apologize for the poor quality of the video.
