October 2008 - W

I was once a liberal. I applied for this plaque as a liberal. Now I am a conservative and would not apply for such a plaque today. I once had a check dated June 17 2003 written for $100 for the plaque. My first evidence of the plaque as August 26, 2005. I would have been in Los Angeles from 5/29/2004 to August 2005 and in St. Louis before then.. I have the info side of 'its up' card but not the mailing date side.

Art show amongst Des Moines artists and friends including myself. I video taped all these artists projects.

I print Brad's Halloween and Christmas cards.

This web page originally contained just art. I then added video and photography and cycling to show a timeline of efforts. I threw out a bunch of art in the late 1990s at Mary E's house and then threw out a barrel of art at Eric W's house in about 2003.. I threw out all of my 35mm negatives and prints and printing plates. Sadness. Many of the video pictures are low quality as I had smaller than SD to display. The other pages on my site provide more material for a given project.

I was paid $50 to make this video for Howcast.

A video that I got into N film festivals. I used a terrible consumer camera with on camera mic. Yikes. It sucked.

I video taped and edited this US Postal Service video about the Employee Assistance Program for the Hawkeye District. Wish I had tapped in High Def. Postal employees were great. I was a contractor working 40 hours a week on communication videos and images.

Jones Soda used one of my photos for their Soda. They printed my name on the bottle, it is my photo, but the city, the Bronx, is incorrect. I took the photo in Downtown Des Moines, Iowa.

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.
