Today I drove my car in the parade representing the DFL.

Our local radio station, WTIP 90.7 FM, asked me to create a logo and design a poster for their 10th anniversary celebration Music Festival which will take place on September 6. Radio Waves has a cool double meaning since we live on the North Shore of Lake Superior. The idea I went with was a vintage bakelite radio actually floating in the waves, and then paired it with a sort of deco style type. Keep in mind that this is a preliminary version of the poster – the design and the acts are subject to change. I’ll update the project here.

My beautiful daughter Heather came home this weekend! She took this picture of us with her iPhone. That thing is so cool! I want to get more of her pictures from today to post here, so stay tuned.f She also told me she thinks I have more people checking in with my blog than I realize. Hello to her new roommates who like my paintings.
