Teamwork For The Win

     My friend Scott Lindley (his friends call him Cornbread) is one of the people who help set up all the great Walldog events that I attend.  It takes a lot of work to help a community plan for 150+ painters to come and paint more than a dozen murals in a few days.  Scott does it well.  He thinks through the challenges and brings each community a unique set of options to make it all happen.  In addition, Cornbread is a sign guy as well. He's either drawing new designs, hand painting signs or creating interesting kinetic sculptures that require a mind like his to envision. 
     Cornbread called awhile back to tell me he'd sold a set of signs to the city of Arcola. They will identify one of the parks.  He asked if I might be able to help out and do some of the carving for these signs.  I was happy to oblige.
     I worked with Scott to identify the difference between the artwork he sent, and how I'd need it in order to easily carve it.  Together, we identified a few changes that would make life easier for us both, and I went to work.  He picked them up and headed for his own shop where he'd paint them, and add the posts.
     I got a call from him today, and he'd headed for Arcola to do the installation.  It was great just to be a part of it, and I'm happy Cornbread was able to deliver his vision to the neat little town of Arcola where we spent this last summer painting murals.
