AIGA Idaho Event: Finding the Creative Path to Happiness, Nicky & Stuart Alden

AIGA Idaho’s next event is in the works: Finding the Creative Path to Happiness, Nicky & Stuart Alden.

An excerpt from the event description on their site:

The small, multi-disciplinary creative studio of Idaho Stew was created to combat “getting stuck” with always doing the same thing for the same client day after day. Born in Idaho, raised in the countryside of Northern Colorado – Stuart decided to play off his name while being honest to his roots. He wanted the freedom to continually explore all areas of creativity and find tangible ways to apply to client work.

At close to 20 years post-graduation from college – they have found an unusual creative path to happiness. And coming mid-November they’ll be excited to share some stories about what keeps them inspired, and host a workshop to get your hands off the keyboard – and immersed in ink.

To get a glimpse of what keeps them busy you can visit their websites: www.IdahoStew.com or www.InkLoungeGallery.com.

Details about the event are as follows:

Date:  Thursday, November 19th
Time:  6:00pm – 9:00pm 5:30pm – 8:00pm
Location:  TBD The WaterCooler, 1401 Idaho St., Boise
Cost:  Unknown

Flying High with Harrison Ford

That’s just what the folks from Peppershock Media Productions did last month.

In September, Peppershock was asked to help shoot aerial footage of the Idaho backcountry for Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum.  More specifically, the footage was shot for a piece that will be shown during the 6th Annual Spreading Wings Gala, honoring Harrison Ford for his “tireless dedication to promoting aviation and the aerospace community.”

Footage from Idaho was shot over the course of several days, with flights originating from McCall each day.

Peppershock has more details about the experience, as well as a variety of behind-the-scenes / location photos on their blog and Facebook Page.

Sometimes you just need to step away

That’s just what I did this past weekend.  And, while I was out and about, this was the view to the north:

We now return to our regularly-scheduled programming, already in progress…
