Our local PBS Station did a THIS IS ATLANTA featurette on Alcove Gallery where I show my paintings and where I've been involved in various art shows. The Lunchbox Show was featured and my Alimentary School Pals lunchbox had a nice couple of seconds on-screen starting at 1:07. Delicious!

TO RESOLVE Project
Talented Art Director/Designer Chris Streger threw out a challenge to design an iphone wallpaper based on your personal resolution for the new year in hopes that the constant reminder it provides will force you to stick to it. It's a brilliant idea. Check out some of the other incredible submissions.
Since I'm new to the whole Twitter-verse, this was my contribution. I already broke it today by accidentally misspelling someone's name. (apologies to @bcouchman) Ha!
Click below to download the full-size wallpaper for iPhone 4. Prior iPhone version coming soon!

Operation: Applbaum Poster
I was recently contacted by a good friend of ours to help with a unique project for the CMO of THE SHACK™ (aka Radio Shack), Lee Applbaum. She needed assistance in creating a holiday gift for him, and due to the unique challenge it posed and free reign I had, I jumped at the chance. My solution was to design a bespoke personal logo, a modern crest of sorts. I am told he is an art/design lover, an avid runner and now cyclist as a result of his relationship with Lance Armstrong, Livestrong, and the Team Radio Shack cycling team. I thought an athletic inspired, rock star approach would help keep him in good company with Lance and the team.
My recon crew says that the poster was a big hit, and he will be proudly displaying it. It's always incredibly gratifying both creatively and personally to know I was part of a successful execution, and there's a happy client in the process. It's a win-win for everyone...
The final posters were hand-printed with the incredible help of the fine folks at Danger Press in Atlanta, without whom it would not be a reality. I can't thank Ed and Spencer enough for their guidance and printing wisdom, Stephanie Smith of the Atlanta Printmaker's Studio who had an additional assist, and Kally and Radio Shack for their trust and the opportunity to do something really cool!

The Christmas Belles iPad app
Just in time for Christmas, the musical iPad app that I worked on is finally available in the iTunes store! I'm really excited about it, this will be a great app for kids and those wanting to get into the Christmas spirit around the holiday!
The app is one of a few legs of the Claus Kids project, and it focuses on a set of musical characters called the Belles. Users can play 3 different classic Christmas melodies via a keyboard or the animated Belles. There is also a record feature and up to 3 sessions can be stored.
The app was splendidly developed by Robots and Cupcakes, the characters were designed/produced by Kurtz Art Studio and animated by Toonalooney Studios, and Rick Hinkle of Audiocam Music (and Pacman Fever fame!) did all the custom music. I designed and produced all the interfaces and icon design, the look and feel, and layout. I also did the scenic backgrounds behind the intro screens and the credits page. It was a really fun project to be a part of and everyone was terrific to work with. Hopefully this is the first of many more apps.
I'd love to know what everyone thinks, please send me an email to let me know.
Enjoy!
