New cards by TRUNKS ART!


Boise, Idaho - May 23, 2019 - I've been working on a new series of art inspired by some of Idaho's State Parks.  My goal is 12 compositions.  Pictured are the first 5: Bruneau Dunes, Craters of the Moon, Lucky Peak, Malad Gorge and Eagle Island.  Right now, these cards can only be found at Rediscovered Books in downtown Boise.  Thanks for checking out my post.

TRUNKS ART completes another composition for the IDAHO PARKS series!

Hagerman, Idaho - February 1, 2019 - "Malad Gorge" (#4/12) - Malad Gorge is just one of the many natural wonders within Idaho's Thousand Springs State Park and gets its name from early French-Canadians who named the area Rivere aux Malades ('river of the sick') because of the many illnesses suffered while fur trapping.  Pictured in my artwork is the gem of Malad Gorge - a sixty foot waterfall aptly named, the Devil's Washbowl.

TRUNKS ART Begins a NEW art series dedicated to enlightening others about The Gem State!




Arco, Idaho - December 19, 2018 - "Craters of the Moon" (#1/12) - Inquiring minds want to know!  If the cinder cones in Idaho's Craters of the Moon National Monument are millions of years old, why are they still 'pointy?'  Wouldn't winds and weather soften and smooth them out by now?  As it turns out, rain passes right through the cinder cones and travels 100 miles to places like Thousand Springs, Ritter Island and Box Canyon near Hagerman, Idaho.  The nearest little city to the monument has quite the distinction.  In 1955, Arco, Idaho became the first city to be powered by nuclear power!

"Boise's Old Penitentiary" is the latest work from Chuck Trunks!



Boise, ID - December 25, 2017 - "Boise Old Penitentiary" - Now serving as a "killer" historical destination in East Boise and as the backdrop for concerts at the Botanical Garden, the Old Idaho Penitentiary opened its doors in 1872 and housed 13,000 inmates until 1973 - 10 of which were put to death.  The maximum number of inmates (both men and women) held at any given moment was 600 - many of which helped quarry sandstone from nearby Table Rock to help build the prison as well as the foundation of the State Capitol Building.

"Go Broncos!" The latest work from Trunks Art's Boise Idaho Series!


Boise, ID - November 10, 2017 - "Boise Broncos" - The Boise Broncos started playing in Bronco Stadium in 1970 (renamed to Albertsons Stadium in 2014).  The Broncos are known for their explosive offense, relentless defense, an insane win-loss record and (of course) the iconic blue turf.  I love going to games at this exciting venue.  Go Broncos!

New Art from TRUNKS ART: "Boise Summer Float."



Boise, ID - August 3, 2017 - "Boise Summer Float" - First it was the winter from Siberia, then it was spring flooding on the Bayou, then it was trees being pulled down by fast moving water...and then...and then...it was finally time to enjoy the annual float season here on the beautiful Boise River.  Ahh...what a way to beat the blistering heat of summer.

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.
