Western Illustrations

These are pictures of some Wester Illustrations that I purchased at an antique store in Reno years ago. The artist's name is Stew Walters, and he has a reno address. I'm assuming these aren't recent because the phone number doesn't have 7 digits.

I'm trying to gather any information that I can so I can establish some provenance for these drawings. If you happen to know anything surrounding these drawings(published? dates?), I would appreciate if you could send the info my way.

I can be contacted at pezcore13@yahoo.com

Thanks!

How to Work a Pole

This is a video of Chris painting a column for my thesis show. I'm pretty sure that this is a technique employed by many professional painters.

The music in the background is Baltimora's "Tarzan Boy". It's too bad you can't hear it over my goofy giggling.

What To Do With Your Stinky Old Sneakers

I really enjoy driving around Nevada because I constantly come across things that interest me. The Shoe Tree outside of Middlegate Junction is one of those things. On a Trip from Reno to Las Vegas, my bff Chris "Dr. Chim Richelds" Bauder and I decided to stop and lob a pair of his old sneakers up into the mighty Shoe Tree.
Notice the hoof.
Chris Bauder. Confident. Every muscle quivering in anticipation.Calculating arc, speed, and wind resisitance.
This is the only action shot that I have. Unfortunately it was pitch black, so I wasn't able to see where to point the camera.
Chris' shoe is somewhere on the left side.

I Have The Coolest Toilet Seat In The World!

Check it out for yourself if you don't believe me. This beauty is the real deal! This toilet seat is from Harrah's Lake Tahoe, and it has actual cards, dice, and chips cast in resin. Even if you try to look, you will never find such a fine example of a toilet seat anywhere. Except maybe Harrah's Lake Tahoe.
Imagine sitting in an ivory tower watching birds fly through fluffy clouds, all the while wondering how your life could get any better, because that's how I feel every morning after I wake up (and sometimes in the afternoon if I eat a big breakfast).

People Who Bathe in Patchouli Should Stay Home

Here are some snaps of some pieces that I have in progress. The sketch is on a wood panel which I plan on working into with some wood burning. The print below is the same character, but tweaked slightly. I am having some fun with lino cuts, so expect to see more of them in the future.

Hack Progress Shots

Here are the progress photos from "Hack". Just looking at these pictures makes me want to do more drawings on walls.

Some Details.

PresiDent in Progress

I know that Mr. Hands has come and gone, but I wanted to post these progress pictures of PresiDent and Hack. I'm thinking that I could do a little flip book or something. Check back soon! Hack is coming!
