TRUNKS ART is honored to have provided the book cover art for Keith Jordan's "One White Whisker!"

Boise, ID — June 6, 2017 — Meet Mr. Keith Jordan. He's a Boise resident who allowed me the honor of creating his vision of the cover art for his wonderful book. What Mr. Jordan began on a Hermes typewriter in a guesthouse in Austria in 1968 and ended in Beluh, North Dakota in 1982, became the acclaimed publication, "One White Whisker" in 2017. OWW is two stories that interconnect. Beginning and ending each chapter is an allegorical tale of a feral black alley cat and his harsh existence. Inserted within is the story of people who run a jazz club, their relations to each other, and especially a black boy who rises from busboy to a famous jazz band leader. The portal from one story to the other is a ventilation shaft from which the cat witnesses the strange and erratic behavior of his enemies, the Diurnal Furless Bipeds, and especially the black boy who believes the black cat gives him musical inspiration. The story takes place in the city in the deep South during the depression of the early 1930s.

TRUNKS ART Greeting Cards are "in the mix" at Mixed Greens!

Boise, ID — May 29, 2017 — I'm both honored and excited to have my Boise inspired greeting cards to be included "in the mix" at Mixed Greens in downtown.  See what I did there?  I know.  I just now came up with that.  The store could not be in a cooler location (on the corner of 9th and Idaho Streets) or have a more eclectic selection of unique gifts.  Nice layout.  Nice owners.  Nice vibe.  I hope you'll be as surprised and impressed as me when you walk into this beautiful shop.

"Boise Farmers Market!" The latest work from TRUNKS ART!



Boise, ID — April 19, 2017 — Arriving in the Boise Territory in the early 1860's, Chinese workers were well-known for their work ethic, patience and superior skills in gardening.  They typically delivered their fresh picked vegetables early in the morning, piling them in baskets hung on a pole that they carried over their shoulders.  Their legacy remains to this day in Boise's downtown farmers market.

TRUNKS ART joins BOLD FACE GEAR, makers of guitar cases and backpacks that feature custom art!

Redondo Beach, CA — June 5, 2015 — Bold Face Gear is a relatively new company based out of Redondo Beach, California.  They put themselves on the map when they came up with the idea of making guitar cases with an interchangeable front panel that conveys custom art for that "perfect" statement.  With the success of these guitar cases, the company expanded into the backpack market using the same concept of interchangeable customized art on the front panel of the backpack - which by the way comes in two sizes.



When I got the call from the company inviting me to add my work to their art library, I didn't hesitate.  These guys are professional from top to bottom with everyone at the company focused on exceptional customer service.  I'm proud to work with these guys and gals!  To read more about how Bold Face Gear got started, click here to go to Linkedin.  To see more of my work, please visit my blog or email me at chucktrunks@gmail.com.
