Colorado Alliance of Illustrators members in action at
La Piazza dell'Arte on Larimer Square in Denver, CO June '06 (Two
western themed squares)
Our first annual appearance at La Piazza |
CAI-lots of folks worked on these at La Piazza
dell'Arte- an Italian street
festival honoring the tradition of the temporary masterwork art. These 2
original
western themed illustrations designed by our very own Larry Kressek |
Che' posing with CAI art-I did the lettering-and
adding the bling ring to the cowgirl hand to say thanks to our sponsor,
John Attencio (phenomenal jeweler-and yes I'm sucking up here-- because
I used to have one of those JA rings...but oh, that's another
story.)

In Honor of Those Who Have
Passed... |
You
just never know who is going to touch your life. It may be a best
friend, a work colleague, or a person known only briefly. But
to have known that person, may make you a better one.
In loving memory of a wonderful cartoonist
and human being: Dan Gibson.
Dan Gibson gets his own caricature on the Denver
Press Club walls, after creating a third of the infamous wall for
others (and having served as president and longtime member.) |
World Adventurer, Aviator, Record-setter and Entrepreneur Steve Fossett
(After a large scale search, it is not known of his
whereabouts after his plane went missing in Nevada in September of
2007.) |
Heaven has a Furry Angel...
My sweetie girl Aspen, border collie mix and pound puppy of 11 years
passed away at home with me on 1/26/08. She is deeply loved and missed. Hopefully, she
is running and playing off leash, with no fences and all the squeaky
toys and treats she can possibly enjoy. Her wings are well earned. |
Braveheart-(white pooch on
the right) my mom's gorgeous stoic, and eventually playful (only with
us), wolf-blend dog; rescued from abuse to a ranch, to her home, and of
course into our hearts. He left us Friday July 11th to be in a place to
walk and play without the restrictions of an ailing body. Bless his
Brave Heart!
(my little guy Boca on the left liked to sneak scoot in to share Brave's
blanket during his visits). |
In 2008 we lost Jean Tool, long time member,
friend and caricaturist for the Denver Press Club-a wonderful, generous,
kind soul who was also a WWII veteran. Artist known for his elegant
Christmas cards, illustrator, and fellow cartoonist. photo by John Wren |

VP Cherish Flieder & Pirate Prez Ché at La Piazza Del'Arte on a boiling
hot pavement day on Larimer Square's street painting festival--an ode to
Howard Pyle (Colorado Alliance of Illustrators "square" for the event)
June '07. |
Born to Be Wild (a pose after earning the motorcycle certification for
the license--btw
this is a wannabe/wannahave bike) |
It looks much longer wet.
My Christmas gift for Locks of Love
|
Still wet (i.e., looks longer)12" inches came off--for me
this is extremely SHORT hair...and I totally forgot we had our one and
only set of full family pics with a pro photog that Christmas...and no
one noticed! (I was shreaking on the inside) |
The Most Comcastic Guy I know: Cable Chef Ivan |
Darn cute critters a.k.a. furballs: Aspen and Capri |
My pups Boca, Aspen, & mom's dog Braveheart |
Brothers from a different mother (and father) Boca and
Brave |
And now for
something completely hilarious...
Get the gal known for dating and relationship humor in a wedding dress
to help promote the Denver Press Club as a wedding, reception and event
venue.
