Live Drawing Events
For an upcoming project I need everyone to think of the bands you know personally, that play in the area.
We want to hook up with bands on stage and put up a huge canvas or sheet of butcher paper behind the band. While they play music, we'll draw the sound or pictures of the musicians.
This will give us a chance to put our drawing and painting skills to use, let band members experience a new kind of performance, and the audience will get a special treat.
What can you do? Any/all of the following:
1) Get in contact with a band that is willing to join forces (even if just for one show) and set a day/time.
2) We'll need a giant canvas or butcher paper. If you have access to some or know someone that would be willing to donate, let me know.
3) We'll need paints, brushes and markers. If you have access to any that we could use or any that could be donated to the group let me know.
We hope to be involved in several Live Drawing Events and we want to start right away! Let me know if you can help.
Thanks,
jess

the Salt Lake Typo
Cameron Moll has made something worth mentioning. Click his name to see the Salt Lake Temple translated into typographic characters and printed on Provo's own slick letterpress.
If anyone wants to check out Bjorn Studios let me know.
P.S. Any other design geeks out there that want to know more about the process of designing and printing the poster click here.

Every Change is Release
Aw, bugger. I'm so close to finishing the logo and sending out a worldwide message that we exist...but I've got to finish all my work first. Then desert.
==========================================
Later that night...
aha! Got it! The logo is up on the site and I think it looks all right. There was so much I wanted to put into it---so many symbols and suggestions of landmarks...I guess we'll cover those areas later sometime. I wanted a logo that said: this is about Utah and this is about Drawing. Think it does the trick?

Everything We Have Here in Utah
The last few days I've been working on the logo (still not quite there...) and solidifying what the group is all about. It's important for me to get the message out that we are about Utah and we are about making pictures.
I've been able to take a few little walks through the snow and I'm just overwhelmed with everything we have here in Utah. Everything I've grown up with and have wanted to escape until recently... the landscapes! The lives of the seasons! The music! The Mormon culture! The locally owned and operated grocery stores and restaurants! What a great place to be. Forget New York---THIS is the place.
======================================================================
P.S. This is the first image that came up when I googled "Utah":
It's our very own Delicate Arch as seen on license plates through the driving world (it's from a website dedicated to demolition derbies).
