ALL IN!

I guess if ESPN calls No-Limit Texas Hold'em a sport, then it's a sport... And just as sports fans want all sorts of paraphernalia, so goes poker!

This poster is the first in a series of two created for a client who enjoys hosting poker tournaments at his home. Poster No. 1, shown here, is of the client's former home. (He recently moved) As you may suspect, the image is indeed of his former house.

We chose to do a poster with only 3 colors so that, in addition to producing the poster, it could also be silk-screened on to T-shirts as gifts for the past tournament participants.

I look forward to sharing the next one with you!

Building Homes in TJ

Over Thanksgiving weekend in 2006, I joined a team from Christian Layman Church on a trip to Tijuana, Mexico to build simple homes for the poor of TJ.

And as these trips often turn out - rather than us going there to provide, we were really the ones who received. We received lessons in gratitude, in simplicity; the moral and ethical obligation for us in the U$A to help those who are less fortunate.

As a reminder to myself, I created this image from one of the photos we took during construcion.
