Poster Party 2012

Last week was the second installment of Poster Party which looks to be building into an annual event. The image below is the poster I created for the 2012 event. It is titled Love At First Bike and is printed on 100% recycled Green Tea Matte Paper. A portion of the proceeds from the event benefited the Treaure Valley YMCA. I'd like to thank Stodstrum for putting on another fine event for our community. A big thanks to all the patrons who purchased posters in support of Treasure Valley YMCA and local art.

Black Rainbows Print Series

I finally released prints of the paintings from my Black Rainbows series. All seven prints are currently available in the on-line store at www.benwilsonart.com. The print featured below is titled Pink Lemonade.

The Poop Fairy

There is no such thing as the Poop Fairy. But if there was... it might look like the illustration below. The City of Boise is getting ready to roll out a campaign to help remind folks to pick up after their pets. It continues to be a large problem especially in the beautiful Boise foothills and surrounding areas. It was fun to work with several departments of the city to bring this character illustration to life.

Peter And Wendy

I was recently commissioned by Candice Hawkley to create a series of images that came with a set of guidelines that made for fun triptych when all was said and done. Candice approached me with some empty frames, a rough color scheme, and a longtime love for all things Peter Pan. I decided to fuse all these things with her own families history, travels, adventures etc… and the results are below. It was a pleasure to bring Candice's vision to life. I'd also like to thank her for using her professional photography skills to provided some great images below of the printed products in her home.

River Madness

I was recently commissioned by an old friend to create a image for his brothers birthday. The Zimmerman brothers have been making it a tradition to hit up the North Idaho whitewater event appropriately known as Lochsa Madness. Matt Zimmerman wanted to capture the spirit of their annual sibling adventure in a work of art. The results are below. Thanks "Z" I hope you and your family will enjoy this piece for years to come.

Hyde Park Plumbing

I had a really great time doing several projects for Boise's own Hyde Park Plumbing. Below are images from the creation of their branding, identity, biz cards, and vehicle wrap. If your familiar with Boise's North End neighborhood, then you'll probably see some of the inspiration behind these designs. If your looking for a friendly, experienced, independent, and all around good plumber... give Hyde Park Plumbing a try!
