Biggest printing project for me… 84 12′ panels hung to cover the walls of a local horse arena. The event was a fund raiser for the disabled riding program. From stock photos I created the collaged backdrop of a county fair theme. We did the same for the other side of the arena only had flowers and sky so they could use the panels for a future event.

I printed on a polypropyline backed paper. Imaged really well, a little water resistant and does not tear. Wood lath pole in hem pockets on the top and bottom of each panel. Panel were attached to a horizontal wire with zip ties.

It was amazing.

I’ve been using the internet since before Netscape, sending my art files over a BBS system to a printing company in Boise, Idaho. That was actually pretty incredible and immediately sparked my interest in using this new medium as a marketing and presentation tool. At the time I was creating interactive CD’s for client distribution and thought why put all that investment into that media when the internet is so relevant. Print is still important but to print and distribute not only CD’s and brochures is expensive and often you were left with outdated media. So I learned to create websites. While my skill is in designing the look and navigation of the site I do like editing at the code level. Learning CSS, HTML or PHP from hacking it is like working a puzzle. “Let’s see what happens when I edit this piece of code…. hmmm, woops no that doesn’t work… what happens when I do this… okay cool that worked.” I like problem solving.

The examples above are from recent sites I’ve designed. They include shopping cart and portfolio sites. Many represent where I see the internet heading and are examples of blogs or sites that make use of video. Finally we have enough bandwidth to do the things we only dreamed of doing in the early years. I think my new site is a perfect example of the evolution of site design. I love how it presents my portfolios in slide show format and that visitors can interact with the slide show and me for that matter by posting comments. In this new site I can mix all aspects of my experience from business to the pleasures of learning to play the violin. I can easily post videos and share other posts from sites I visit. The internet has gone social and I love it!!!

About 6 years ago a customer came in my shop and asked if I could print on fabric. At the time I was printing on paper and canvas so it wasn’t an odd question. I looked into it and discovered a handful of companies producing treated fabric specifically for digital printing. One in particular was amazing. The quality of the print and the fact that I could “delicately” wash the fabrics were important. This company had the least issues of all them. Printing digitally on fabric opened up a whole new area of discovery. I could not resist playing in the garment business or fashion and textile design more specifically.

In this gallery are examples of silk circle skirts made from with print designs of photos of nature, rocks, tree bark and cactus.

I have the wonderful opportunity to work with one of the finest wedding photographers in the country, Hillary Maybery. My son Max is working with her this summer as she expands her service to include video. Together we created this video filmed at the Stoecklein Ranch in Mackay Idaho. Hillary on camera, Max on video and myself on computer. Way to go team… you must visit her site at Hillary Maybery Photography.
