Tim Lord's New Web Site is a True Work of Art
Klündt | Hosmer recently launched a new web site for artist Tim Lord to coincide with his work appearing in the art show "Big Fish, Tall Tales". The web site features a truly unique first impression, where the homepage consists entirely of one of Tim's own paintings integrated with Flash animation. This site features a gallery of over 120 paintings and dimensional pieces, forming a compelling online presence for this talented artist.
"Big Fish, Tall Tales" is showing at Barrister Winery (1213 W. Railroad Avenue, Spokane) through this Saturday, May 31st. This show is definitely worth seeing. Call the winery at 509-465-3591 for times. Several pieces of Tim's art are also on display in Klündt | Hosmer's offices, so the next time you're in, be sure to check them out!
"Be Inspired" by Gonzaga's New View Book
Klündt | Hosmer recently completed the design and production of the 2008-09 undergraduate recruitment view book for Gonzaga University. This is the third view book Klündt | Hosmer has created for Gonzaga, and the collaboration has once again proven to be a success. Dean Davis provided wonderful photography, and Carie Schwede, Assistant Dean of Admission/Publications Coordinator at Gonzaga, wrote and managed the project.
The theme for the view book is "Be Inspired". The 60-page publication presents important information for prospective students and their parents, and shares how the University strives to prepare inspired students to make a difference in the world.
30,000 copies of the view book were printed by Printing Today in Portland, OR. The view book's graphic theme will also be incorporated into posters, brochures, emails and other recruitment materials for Gonzaga University undergraduate admissions.
Designing History at the MAC, then Great Falls
In 2005, Klündt | Hosmer designed the David Thompson exhibition for the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture. The exhibit featured Thompson's original sketches, journals, paintings, mounted artifacts, and reproductions of maps and text about his explorations into Western Canada and the Inland Northwest. Thompson was instrumental in developing the Spokane House fur trading post in 1810 and mapped much of the Columbia River region.
Last year, Klündt | Hosmer was contacted by the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Interpretive Center in Great Falls, MT to create additional display panels about William Clark and the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The Center used some of the Thompson panels from the MAC exhibit along with the new panels created about Clark for a combined interpretive exhibit.
The exhibit in Spokane was widely attended, and the exhibit in Great Falls is still open to the public.
