Here it is! The CVG Series in ONE graphic from TRUNKS ART!

Newbury Park, CA - January 17, 2019 - "The CVG Series" - Well, here it is: The CVG Series in one graphic.  Each one of these compositions took me about a month to complete.  As far as commissioned work goes, I loved the amount of creative license I was given to complete the project.  The Conejo Valley Guide, situated in Southern California, is a lot like our beloved Boise Weekly.  Instead of reporting on cool things to do in the Treasure Valley, it provides up-to-the-minute announcements about fun things to do (and know) in Ventura County.  "Keep it up, Conejo Joe!"

Trunks Art moved to Boise from Los Angeles in 2015 and has made this city his home and art inspiration.

TRUNKS ART gets lucky with LUCKY PEAK!

Boise, Idaho - January 15, 2019 - "Lucky Peak" (#3/12) - How lucky am I to live within 10 riverside bike miles of Lucky Peak State Park, located off of Highway 21 just minutes from downtown Boise? Completed after 6 years of work headed by the Army Corp of Engineers in 1955, the associated reservoir has a drain valve (so to speak) which when opened in the springtime, sends 1,500 to 2,500 cubic feet (per second) of snowmelt water upwards of 150 feet into the air creating what is referred to as a rooster tail.  This effect is pretty awesome to witness as the water leaves the "drain opening" at about 60 miles and hour.  By shooting the discharge upwards, it reduces river erosion and sends all that crystal clear water into the Boise River for everyone to enjoy.

Bruneau Dunes State Park is captured by TRUNKS ART!

Bruneau Dunes State Park, Idaho - December 31, 2018 - "Bruneau Dunes" (#2/12) - When you've finally come to a stop from "sledding" down the highest point in Idaho's Bruneau Dunes State Park, you might be surprised to learn that you just conquered the largest structured sand dune in North America at 470 feet.  Pretty cool, huh? Don't answer because there's an even better factoid: Equivalent winds from both the northwest (32% of the time) and southeast (28% of the time) allow this massive dune to retain its shape and not move.  Now you can answer.  "Cool!"

TRUNKS ART was featured at the Idaho State Capitol!

Boise, Idaho - December 9, 2018 - The First Annual Holiday Event at the Idaho State Capitol Building Gift Shop was a terrific success this year.  The best part was disclosing the meaning behind each of these 12 pieces to all the shoppers and buyers.  My favorite comment: "You sure know A LOT about Boise for only having lived here for a few years!"

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!

"The Eye of CVG" - Final Installment of the Conejo Valley Guide Series by TRUNKS ART!



Newbury Park, California - November 1, 2018 - "The Eye of CVG" (#6/6) - This is the last commissioned artwork for the Conejo Valley Guide (.com), a Newbury Park, California based online kiosk providing news, ideas, activities and exclusives to residents and visitors in Ventura County.  Sure, this piece showcases the positivity and creative eye of CVG but it also speaks to our own tendency to only see what we want to see.

CVG.com No.5: "Reagan Library"....created by TRUNKS ART!

Simi Valley, California - September 30, 2018 - "Reagan Library" (#5/6) - The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library is like a mini Smithsonian dedicated to our 40th President. To me, the most prominent feature is the retired Air Force One 707 Boeing that served our nation for 28 years.  If I could bring back my grandparents, who loved Ronald Reagan, I'd do two things: bring them here and tell them that I shook his hand (in Santa Monica).  More information about this outstanding venue can be found at the Conejo Valley Guide (.com) website.
