Myself and two other artists (&#8220;Punchgut&#8221; \u2013 aka Matt Mastrud \u2013 and Nathaniel Navratil) were selected to contribute to a commemorative three color screen printed poster that\u00a0will be\u00a0distributed at select locations. After accepting, I had a week to come up with a rough sketch of an idea and another week to complete the finished art. Because I was assigned the western third of the state, I chose themes and images representative of western North Dakota.\u00a0On Wednesday, June 8, I will be in Fargo with Matt and Nathaniel to help sign the finished posters at <em>Surly&#8217;s Art Release\u00a0Party<\/em> at the Hotel Donaldson. It should be a lot of fun.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8400 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thorenson.com\/inklings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/FirstFinal_Surly.jpg\" alt=\"FirstFinal_Surly\" width=\"800\" height=\"688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thorenson.com\/inklings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/FirstFinal_Surly.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thorenson.com\/inklings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/FirstFinal_Surly-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thorenson.com\/inklings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/FirstFinal_Surly-768x660.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thorenson.com\/inklings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/FirstFinal_Surly-500x430.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8401 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thorenson.com\/inklings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/surly-nd-art-release-poster-low-res-5_27a-1.jpg\" alt=\"surly-nd-art-release-poster-low-res-5_27a\" width=\"800\" height=\"1167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thorenson.com\/inklings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/surly-nd-art-release-poster-low-res-5_27a-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thorenson.com\/inklings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/surly-nd-art-release-poster-low-res-5_27a-1-206x300.jpg 206w, https:\/\/www.thorenson.com\/inklings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/surly-nd-art-release-poster-low-res-5_27a-1-768x1120.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thorenson.com\/inklings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/surly-nd-art-release-poster-low-res-5_27a-1-702x1024.jpg 702w, https:\/\/www.thorenson.com\/inklings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/surly-nd-art-release-poster-low-res-5_27a-1-343x500.jpg 343w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was contacted by\u00a0a Surly representative in mid-April asking if I would be interested in contributing to a North Dakota Surly launch poster.\u00a0The commission was to help celebrate what is unique about our state in an edgy, non-traditional way\u00a0as part of Surly Brewing Company&#8217;s distribution launch into our great\u00a0state.
