This was a fun piece for a work party. In celebration of finishing up some pretty large projects the Rain Bird account team decided to throw a little Grill Out.

Thanks to Jon Lundeen who wrote the copy and partnered with me on this fun concept. Also thanks to Ben Swift for helping print the aprons.

Here is a little tasty nugget that I am excited to share with everyone, Local Hero Design and I had a great idea for me to design a couple of art posters for their store. Here is the first of what I am hoping is a nice series of pieces. These are only available trough their on-line store so buy yours before they run out.

YWCA Art & Sole Silent Auction

rholtdesign — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 06:48:33 +0000

On the 21st of October the YWCA in Lincoln, NE will be having their second annual fund raiser dinner and silent auction at the Lincoln Country Club, If you are interested by chance in attending tickets are $40.00 per plate and you can contact me for more info on those tickets.

What this event is, is a combination of designer shoes and art work to be auctioned off silently though the night there will also be a dinner provided by the amazing staff of the Country Club.

A while back a friend asked me to help and use my network to gather donations for the art portion of this event, so far I have some amazing work rolling in from talented artists I have happened to have the opportunity of meeting over time. I have also decided to donate a piece for this event (I hope it is well received).

Here is the piece I have put together for this, the idea behind it is the happiness of youth, I watch my kids when they chew gum or when I blow bubbles and I listen to their laugh and how much fun they think it is and how cool they think I am for being able to blow bubbles, this makes me realize how great it is to have a child’s innocence.

Budget Invite

rholtdesign — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 06:33:13 +0000

This is a little piece I put together for my daughter’s birthday invitations, I wanted to do something exciting and fun since that what she is. So for a Rock and Roll themed party for a seven year old I mixed magenta, black, custom type, a rubber stamp, and make shift stickers to create a pretty fun invite to match the special little girl.

Enjoy.

NEW.

This has been a busy summer, and I feel like I have been away from doing any side projects which results in a lack of posts. Just a summer recap I went on a nine day vacation to San Diego, Vegas, and southern Utah only to start moving into a new apartment the day I got home. The next week I was offered a position at swanson • russell, an ad agency here in Lincoln, NE. A couple of weeks later I started the new job and had about enough of the lemon of a car I purchased just over two years ago. With a little luck and a small miracle I was able to get out from underneath that heap and into a new vehicle.

So here I sit trying to get settled into all of the new things in my life and hopefully soon I will finish up some things that have been in the works so I can start posting some new things.

The BiiKlOPS Poster show is this First Friday July 2, 2010 at Screen Ink. I am sure this will prove to be a great time as are all of the art shows at Screen Ink. There will be dozens of posters by 30 different artists expressing their love of bicycles. Can’t wait to see all of the work.

Check out the article in the local Lincoln, NE paper covering the show.
