ART page morphing to all creative timeline

I am a hobbiest not a great artist. This web page just shows me what I was up to. I have to look at an image in order to draw it. I don't know if including the original here is interesting or distracting. I threw out a bunch of art in the late 1990s at Mary E's house and then again at Eric W's house in about 2003. This page includes items found on other pages but is here too to fill creative timeline gaps.

November 8, 1997 - U2 Pop Mart
A St. Louis radio station ran a "Pop Art for Pop Mart" contest for U2 tickets. I submitted several items in a see through poster holder. I won tickets and took my then girlfriend to the show. I threw away all of the art entries. I recreated two of the submissions at the bottom of the page. One was a drawing of Max Beckman's woodcut portrait. Maybe I thought they would think it was Bono. I also created a monkey to man thing from U2's own designers. Take a look at the videos of the show from Mexico. The opening is similar to a prize fighter entering the ring.

Viking Pump video shoot - June 19 2010
I shoot raw video footage for ION TV at Viking Pump - Cedar Falls, Iowa, facilities. I interviewed employees. ION then edits and publishes the video on the internet. That video is no longer on the internet. I received a free small sample pump and threw it away. I am an idiot for throwing all my stuff way. Video was standard definition. I hired Ian Miller to help me.

If camera type is not listed, assume it was a Nikon D810 which is much better than an iPhone.
Car Dealer Bastile Day - July 14 2001
I saw this guy and stopped to photo. He wanted his money back on a car purchase. They were camera shy and I held his sign while they spoke in the office. They wanted to trade my photos for his money. I kept my photos and he got his money. July 14, 2001, July 14 is Bastile Day, a French day of resistance. These were mostly developed/printed at Grandview College. I went there with Bob to develop photos for the State Fair and kept going back until a instructor questioned my student status and I wasn't one.
Clearly Misunderstood - An Art Exhibition - Oct 7, 2011
Clearly Misunderstood was an Art show (Oct 7, 2011) at Ian Miller's "The Eye" in Des Moines, Iowa. I had two TV's playing in his shop windows that faced the public sidewalk. The premise is "What is Iowa became a state during the Iraqi war." It seems like the Mexican - American war was incorporated into Iowa county names. What would it look like if modern war was incorporated into county names? It must be noted I created this project as a Democrat and I am now a Republican. This is a great country.
Stone Sour - August 20 2010
Corey Taylor is the lead singer for Stone Sour and Slipknot. Corey, Dave Lundberg, the drummer, and I drove in Corey's car to the Council Bluffs Westfair Amphitheater for Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, Stone Sour, and Halestorm. I was allowed to take photos from the stage front for three songs.
