07:30.650 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% there's a lot of communication that happens there. 07:30.650 --> 07:33.052 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% But when you're drumming with a

size:80% - [Dalia] In Colorado Springs 08:32.111 --> 08:34.180 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% there's a remarkable English tutor style castle 08:34.180 --> 08:35.882 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% called Glen Eyrie. 08:35.882 --> 08:38.584 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Built in the early 1870s, the estate 08:38.584 --> 08:41.988 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% is rich with history, architectural splendor 08:41.988 --> 08:44.190 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and archeological discovery. 08:47.260 --> 08:51.664 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - It's this rugged place at the foot of the Rocky Mountains 08:51.664 --> 08:55.968 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% with an English style castle right in the heart of it. 08:55.968 --> 08:57.236 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% It's a little shocking 08:57.236 --> 08:59.739 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% the first time you come to the grounds. 08:59.739 --> 09:03.009 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - It's so beautifully constructed. 09:03.009 --> 09:05.044 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% It almost is perfection, 09:05.044 --> 09:08.447 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and it looks like it's been here for hundreds of years. 09:08.447 --> 09:12.785 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% (violin tune playing in background) 09:14.120 --> 09:16.889 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - I think the way that you come into Glen Eyrie 09:16.889 --> 09:19.759 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% on this winding road up a canyon, 09:19.759 --> 09:21.260 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% and there at the back, 09:21.260 --> 09:24.797 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% this castle is situated looking like it's always been here. 09:24.797 --> 09:26.999 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - [Matt] The thing that makes Glen Eyrie's canyons 09:26.999 --> 09:30.503 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% so powerful is, you know, 09:30.503 --> 09:32.939 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% it's part of the same geology as Garden of the Gods. 09:32.939 --> 09:35.541 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - [Anna] The garden of the Gods landscape consists, 09:35.541 --> 09:39.412 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% of course, large, famous Red Rock formations. 09:39.412 --> 09:41.347 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - [Michael] They're different colors of sandstones 09:41.347 --> 09:44.383 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and conglomerates and granite that were actually 09:44.383 --> 09:47.219 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% uplifted during the mountain building process 09:47.219 --> 09:48.154 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% of Pikes Peak. 09:48.154 --> 09:49.355 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% So as the mountain built, 09:49.355 --> 09:51.290 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% sandstones got tilted vertically. 09:52.458 --> 09:55.461 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - You don't really see the sandstone spires 09:55.461 --> 09:57.463 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% until you get here. 09:57.463 --> 10:00.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% The canyon opens up to you as you arrive at the castle 10:00.666 --> 10:01.834 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% and continues on. 10:01.834 --> 10:04.003 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - It's a beautiful place and it draws many, 10:04.003 --> 10:05.371 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% many people and always has. 10:10.409 --> 10:12.445 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - [Narrator] One person enraptured by the views 10:12.445 --> 10:14.547 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% was General William Jackson Palmer, 10:14.547 --> 10:18.918 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% who came to the region on a railroad surveying trip in 1869. 10:18.918 --> 10:20.620 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% After marrying his wife, Queen, 10:20.620 --> 10:22.021 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% they returned to the area 10:22.021 --> 10:24.724 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and soon began construction on their dream home. 10:26.125 --> 10:28.694 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - John Blair, the landscape architect, 10:28.694 --> 10:32.131 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% saw an Eagles nest eyrie on the side 10:32.131 --> 10:33.933 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% of a beautiful rock here 10:33.933 --> 10:36.669 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and gave the name Glen Eyrie to this space. 10:39.038 --> 10:42.208 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - The carriage house at Glen Eyrie was built in 1871. 10:42.208 --> 10:44.443 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% It was the first building built on the property, 10:44.443 --> 10:46.512 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and William and his new wife, Queen, 10:46.512 --> 10:47.847 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% lived in the upper stories 10:47.847 --> 10:48.881 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% while they were waiting for their 10:48.881 --> 10:50.483 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% main house to be built. 10:50.483 --> 10:53.552 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% The original Glen Eyrie was a gothic style house, 10:53.552 --> 10:56.022 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and it was built in the form of a Latin cross, 10:56.022 --> 10:58.591 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and it had about 27 rooms. 10:58.591 --> 11:00.660 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% It was built on the banks of Camp Creek 11:00.660 --> 11:02.395 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% that flows from the mountains 11:02.395 --> 11:04.664 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% down the Glen Eyrie Valley. 11:04.664 --> 11:06.265 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - [Narrator] Years of expansions 11:06.265 --> 11:09.602 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and renovations created the estate we know today. 11:09.602 --> 11:12.905 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% After Palmer's death, Glen Eyrie was eventually purchased 11:12.905 --> 11:15.708 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% by The Navigators - an International Ministry - 11:15.708 --> 11:18.110 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% becoming a conference center. 11:18.110 --> 11:21.647 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% The region has long been affected by natural disasters, 11:21.647 --> 11:24.016 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% including fires and floods. 11:24.016 --> 11:26.919 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% While surveying a site for flood mitigation work, 11:26.919 --> 11:29.722 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% the city of Colorado Spring's lead archeologist 11:29.722 --> 11:34.093 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and a cordova, stumbles upon something left behind - 11:34.093 --> 11:36.829 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% the site of Palmer's trash dump. 11:36.829 --> 11:39.065 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% This is where one man's trash 11:39.065 --> 11:42.034 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% became a treasure for local historians. 11:42.034 --> 11:43.969 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - [Anna] Context is everything in archeology. 11:43.969 --> 11:47.473 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% And I started thinking of, you know, what am I close to? 11:47.473 --> 11:50.142 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Who was living in this area at the time? 11:50.142 --> 11:53.312 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - An archeology dig of this nature is actually very rare. 11:53.312 --> 11:55.581 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - To find more about Palmer over 100 years 11:55.581 --> 11:56.816 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% after he's gone?! 11:56.816 --> 11:58.417 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - It's once in a lifetime. 11:59.819 --> 12:02.788 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - You can't tell a lot about one particular family 12:02.788 --> 12:04.590 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% in a public dump because lots of families 12:04.590 --> 12:06.659 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% are putting their trash in those places. 12:06.659 --> 12:09.195 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% The really unique thing about this site is that everything 12:09.195 --> 12:11.997 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that's out there we know came from this estate, 12:11.997 --> 12:15.401 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% which it was apparently a really rare thing in archeology. 12:15.401 --> 12:16.869 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - There are a number of artifacts 12:16.869 --> 12:19.939 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% that we actually recovered were about 65,000. 12:21.140 --> 12:23.876 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% We have looked at every one of those artifacts. 12:23.876 --> 12:26.946 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% We have recovered and identified probably 12:26.946 --> 12:29.782 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% at least 50 different types of ceramics, 12:29.782 --> 12:34.220 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% buttons, forks, knives, cooking utensils, 12:34.220 --> 12:38.057 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% cups, stemware, liquor bottles, pipes, 12:38.057 --> 12:41.127 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% flower pots, lots of different animal bones, 12:41.127 --> 12:43.129 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% wooden furniture pieces. 12:43.129 --> 12:45.664 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Just identified a tree cleat, 12:45.664 --> 12:47.133 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% which was really interesting, 12:47.133 --> 12:48.868 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% a cleat that you attached to the toe 12:48.868 --> 12:50.636 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% so you could climb the trees. 12:51.804 --> 12:54.907 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% There's also industrial items, so fire hose. 12:54.907 --> 12:56.475 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% We also have bottles that went 12:56.475 --> 12:58.410 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% into early fire extinguishers. 12:58.410 --> 12:59.411 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% Photographic equipment, 12:59.411 --> 13:01.280 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% so we have dark room elements. 13:01.280 --> 13:02.915 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% There's a lot of medicinal things too, 13:02.915 --> 13:05.618 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% as well as medicine bottles, medicine jars, 13:05.618 --> 13:09.155 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% vials for homeopathic type of medicines. 13:09.155 --> 13:11.290 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - A lot of people ask why we care about trash, 13:11.290 --> 13:13.058 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% why it matters. 13:13.058 --> 13:16.328 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% But trash can tell you a whole lot about households 13:16.328 --> 13:17.696 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% and people. 13:17.696 --> 13:20.132 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% It can speak sometimes even to ethnicity, 13:20.132 --> 13:23.702 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% socioeconomic status, gender. 13:23.702 --> 13:27.273 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% It can answer so many questions that will talk about the 13:27.273 --> 13:28.841 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% daily lives of these people - 13:28.841 --> 13:31.710 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% to what they ate, what they wore, what they read. 13:31.710 --> 13:34.814 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% - It's unedited, and that's where it's power lies 13:34.814 --> 13:38.717 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% because it's literally the raw material of their lives 13:38.717 --> 13:40.452 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% out here at Glen Eyrie. 13:40.452 --> 13:43.255 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - [Anna] For example, we now know that Palmer 13:43.255 --> 13:44.824 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% really liked Worcestershire sauce. 13:44.824 --> 13:47.359 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% - Apparently there are many, 13:47.359 --> 13:50.129 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% many, Worcestershire bottles. 13:50.129 --> 13:53.132 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - We're seeing very few items in the scheme 13:53.132 --> 13:55.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% of thousands that we have looked at 13:55.000 --> 13:57.870 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% that are domestically produced. 13:57.870 --> 14:00.372 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Most everything that we're finding is being imported, 14:00.372 --> 14:03.909 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and I think that's another evidence of his wealth. 14:03.909 --> 14:05.611 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - I've got some mineral water from Budapest, 14:05.611 --> 14:07.847 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% even though he had some mineral water right next door in 14:07.847 --> 14:08.948 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% Manitou Springs. 14:10.149 --> 14:11.750 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% As far as historic archeology goes, 14:11.750 --> 14:14.153 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% it's probably one of the most significant fines that that 14:14.153 --> 14:16.055 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% we've had definitely in Colorado Springs, 14:16.055 --> 14:17.790 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% in the Pikes Peak region. 14:17.790 --> 14:21.493 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Archeology is important in that it connects us to the past. 14:21.493 --> 14:22.795 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I think that helps people to form 14:22.795 --> 14:24.630 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% connections with those places. 14:24.630 --> 14:26.532 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% And I think if you're connected with those places, 14:26.532 --> 14:28.834 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% you take care of

all, 15:47.980 --> 15:51.917 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% I love to really dive into an entire branding study. 15:51.917 --> 15:53.886 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% That's my bread and butter. 15:55.154 --> 16:00.025 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% (techno music playing in background) 16:00.025 --> 16:03.796 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% What I really

size:70% and there's so much going on where 16:08.634 --> 16:10.836 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% what I really wanted to bring with my company 16:10.836 --> 16:14.073 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% is a really clean aesthetic approach. 16:14.073 --> 16:18.777 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Just to really convey the story of what a client 16:18.777 --> 16:21.780 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% is looking for, if it may be a restaurant, 16:21.780 --> 16:24.750 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% if it may be a resort. 16:24.750 --> 16:28.187 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I start to really, I sketch out my ideas 16:28.187 --> 16:31.890 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and really bring all, all these ideas 16:31.890 --> 16:34.927 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% to the table to them, and very unique ones, 16:34.927 --> 16:38.998 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% not just one idea and then turned into one 16:38.998 --> 16:40.799 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% or two or three, just variations, 16:40.799 --> 16:44.870 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% but distinct differences so that the client 16:44.870 --> 16:47.072 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% can really see what their identity 16:47.072 --> 16:48.874 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% could look like potentially. 16:50.075 --> 16:52.211 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% From that process, I work with my clients 16:52.211 --> 16:53.979 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and they usually pick and choose 16:53.979 --> 16:57.616 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70% and say, Hmm, I like this direction, I like that direction. 16:57.616 --> 17:01.320 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% And then from there we pick out from the colors, 17:01.320 --> 17:03.322 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% make sure the tight faces are solid, 17:03.322 --> 17:04.890 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% also that they're legible. 17:06.291 --> 17:09.061 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% You gotta realize too, with an identity 17:09.061 --> 17:12.097 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that this identity is not just a logo. 17:12.097 --> 17:15.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% This is your identity that's going to be applied 17:15.200 --> 17:17.069 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% to everything. 17:22.307 --> 17:24.810 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Oh, I wonder, that'd be so much fun. 17:24.810 --> 17:28.947 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% If I can replicate those three right there. 17:32.284 --> 17:34.420 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I have to say it all started.. 17:34.420 --> 17:37.489 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I gotta say, back in high school. 17:37.489 --> 17:42.494 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% I got the kinda creative bug from one of my art teachers 17:43.629 --> 17:45.864 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% named Miss Sally Way from Shenanhoah. 17:45.864 --> 17:48.434 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Shout out to Shenanhoah High School. 17:48.434 --> 17:51.303 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% And she introduced me to this idea, 17:51.303 --> 17:52.805 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% this concept that, you know, 17:52.805 --> 17:55.407 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% art doesn't always have to be, you know, 17:55.407 --> 17:58.243 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% drawing a portrait landscape or.. 17:58.243 --> 18:01.480 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% And I just said to myself - Well, I can actually 18:01.480 --> 18:04.416 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% design my work in these programs 18:04.416 --> 18:06.952 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% called the Adobe products like Illustrator, 18:06.952 --> 18:08.687 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% Photoshop and InDesign. 18:08.687 --> 18:11.590 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% And I really wanna explore like, okay, 18:11.590 --> 18:13.158 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% where is this gonna go from here 18:13.158 --> 18:15.360 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% if I really wanna take this as a career? 18:17.362 --> 18:20.632 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% (techno music playing) 18:22.301 --> 18:26.071 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I went to RIT, Rochester Institute of Technology, 18:26.071 --> 18:29.374 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% then I found myself going to Maryland for a time, 18:29.374 --> 18:31.310 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and then I actually worked for a company 18:31.310 --> 18:33.112 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% called Chesapeake Bay Candle, 18:33.112 --> 18:36.115 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and I designed all of their candle products. 18:38.150 --> 18:42.121 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I was actually chosen to do a line in Target. 18:42.121 --> 18:43.922 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I did their pure and natural line. 18:45.624 --> 18:47.092 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% I went to Fisher Price, 18:47.092 --> 18:48.560 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I did a ton of packaging there 18:48.560 --> 18:52.798 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and applied my skillset in an in-house setting. 18:55.634 --> 18:58.337 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% And then later on I said to myself, You know what? 18:58.337 --> 19:01.440 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I really wanna branch in and do my own thing. 19:04.376 --> 19:08.647 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% I will honestly say that get the experience first. 19:08.647 --> 19:11.183 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Go into in-house, go to corporate, 19:11.183 --> 19:13.385 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% go to the public and private sector 19:13.385 --> 19:15.854 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and get your hands dirty first. 19:15.854 --> 19:18.023 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% Really see the process. 19:20.125 --> 19:23.495 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% And then later on as you're seeing yourself do a little 19:23.495 --> 19:26.698 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% better and say, Hmm, I can consistently get some, you know, 19:26.698 --> 19:29.501 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% constant money flow into my business 19:29.501 --> 19:30.736 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% or even to yourself, 19:30.736 --> 19:33.205 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that you feel like you can establish yourself. 19:33.205 --> 19:36.208 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Then you know, then I say, go freelance. 19:38.544 --> 19:41.380 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Owning your own free, you know, freelance business, 19:41.380 --> 19:44.149 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% you have to set up those timelines for yourself. 19:44.149 --> 19:47.085 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% It's not a boss looking over you. 19:47.085 --> 19:51.657 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% You have to keep on track because if you miss out, 19:51.657 --> 19:53.559 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% you may miss out that next client. 19:55.427 --> 19:57.496 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% You know, everyone always tells me their like, 19:57.496 --> 19:59.798 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Why are you here? Why are you in upstate New York? 19:59.798 --> 20:01.300 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% And I have to say, 20:01.300 --> 20:04.636 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% the amount of talent that's here in Upstate is incredible. 20:04.636 --> 20:09.107 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% And it's so huge between going to the Adirondacks 20:09.107 --> 20:11.910 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% to Albany where you are going to find 20:11.910 --> 20:14.079 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% some sort of creativity 20:14.079 --> 20:17.049 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% or arts festival or something in this area. 20:17.049 --> 20:20.752 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% And I am very honored to be a part of that, 20:20.752 --> 20:24.389 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% especially with applying my work to be in, 20:24.389 --> 20:25.924 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% in the real world. 20:26.892 -->

20:34.866 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I know that I can push myself 20:34.866 --> 20:37.603 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and have it be the best that it can possibly be.

angels. 20:54.353 --> 20:57.055 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% The tool of choice for artist John Schmitz 20:57.055 --> 20:58.790 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% is the airbrush. 20:58.790 --> 21:00.392 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Since he was 14 years old, 21:00.392 --> 21:03.395 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% he's been using this technique to create his works. 21:04.963 --> 21:08.200 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% (upbeat music playing) 21:14.406 --> 21:16.708 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - [John] The artistic mediums I work in are 21:16.708 --> 21:19.077 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% acrylic paints with airbrush, 21:19.077 --> 21:22.848 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and I sharpen my paintings with the paint brush. 21:22.848 --> 21:27.019 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% The way the airbrush works is it's powered by a compressor 21:27.019 --> 21:29.788 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and you put your paint into the device, the airbrush, 21:29.788 --> 21:32.057 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and it's powered by air through the hose, 21:32.057 --> 21:34.660 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and it's all coming off the tip of a needle. 21:34.660 --> 21:37.763 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% So the paint is atomized or pushed through the needle along 21:37.763 --> 21:38.730 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% to the campus. 21:43.235 --> 21:44.770 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% It's a very nice medium. 21:44.770 --> 21:47.673 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% And the advantage to using an airbrush over a traditional 21:47.673 --> 21:50.309 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% price would be that you get seamless blends, 21:50.309 --> 21:52.477 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% you can get blends, nice gradients 21:52.477 --> 21:54.813 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and skin tones, skies, clouds. 21:54.813 --> 21:58.350 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% You get that soft nature look, that's in nature. 21:58.350 --> 22:00.619 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% As you get older, you start to lose your vision 22:00.619 --> 22:03.155 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and everything gets a little soft and fuzzy. 22:03.155 --> 22:04.556 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% That's nature's Photoshop. 22:04.556 --> 22:06.224 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% A little airbrush look too. 22:08.260 --> 22:11.763 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I would say my artwork is definitely Americana 22:11.763 --> 22:13.498 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% because it's pop culture. 22:13.498 --> 22:15.767 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% It's now and then, it's people you know, 22:15.767 --> 22:18.670 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% or people you've seen or maybe even places you know. 22:20.572 --> 22:22.107 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% The types of clients I've had 22:22.107 --> 22:24.810 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% have been Elvis Presley Enterprises. 22:24.810 --> 22:27.179 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I've did 36 Kenny Rogers murals 22:27.179 --> 22:29.414 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that were in all of his restaurants. 22:29.414 --> 22:31.817 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I've done a lot of movie theaters 22:31.817 --> 22:33.385 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and a lot of amusement parks. 22:33.385 --> 22:36.154 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% A lot of really big, large scale mural work, 22:36.154 --> 22:37.356 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% mainly with the airbrush. 22:37.356 --> 22:38.857 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% That's another reason why I use it too, 22:38.857 --> 22:41.393 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% is because it covers a lot more ground 22:41.393 --> 22:44.096 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% than you could with the paint brush, 22:44.096 --> 22:47.099 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% depending on the size of job you're working on. 22:48.667 --> 22:51.403 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% I like to paint landscapes too with the airbrush 22:51.403 --> 22:54.373 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% because that can get the sky to look like the sky. 22:54.373 --> 22:57.008 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Not that anybody who, you don't have to use an airbrush 22:57.008 --> 22:58.143 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% to make it that way. 22:58.143 --> 23:00.245 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% It just happens to be my medium. 23:00.245 --> 23:03.281 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Some of the paintings I have that have so many angels 23:03.281 --> 23:04.783 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% is probably because they were, 23:04.783 --> 23:08.086 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% they were commissioned by an angel, which is my wife. 23:08.086 --> 23:09.955 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% She's the one who loves the angels. 23:09.955 --> 23:12.257 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% So anything with an angel on it, 23:12.257 --> 23:14.359 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% it's like the bur old pictures I do 23:14.359 --> 23:15.994 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and this things like that. 23:15.994 --> 23:18.096 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% She's the one who really likes that. 23:19.531 --> 23:21.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% I've been airbrushing since I was 14, 23:21.466 --> 23:23.435 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and when I first started airbrushing, 23:23.435 --> 23:24.669 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I was really in love with it 23:24.669 --> 23:26.138 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% because everything was so seamless. 23:26.138 --> 23:27.472 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% It was like, how did they get that, 23:27.472 --> 23:29.708 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% that smooth look on there. 23:29.708 --> 23:31.777 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% And in the early days that I was using it, 23:31.777 --> 23:34.513 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% I was seeing a lot of album covers, mostly album covers, 23:34.513 --> 23:36.314 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% movie posters, anything that looked good. 23:36.314 --> 23:39.384 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% There was, you could paint neon chrome, a lot of that. 23:39.384 --> 23:44.156 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% So I chose to try to follow that 23:44.156 --> 23:47.859 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and still to this day like to airbrush whatever I can. 23:47.859 --> 23:49.261 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% But in today's world, 23:49.261 --> 23:51.863 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% not many people airbrush as much as they used to, 23:51.863 --> 23:54.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% especially in illustration and advertising and art, 23:54.633 --> 23:57.369 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% because the computer is more efficient. 23:57.369 --> 24:00.172 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% So airbrush seems like it's a little old hat now. 24:00.172 --> 24:01.406 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% Not as many people do it, 24:01.406 --> 24:04.142 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% but the car industry still does a lot of it. 24:04.142 --> 24:07.813 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% I mean, here in Reno we have the hot August nights. 24:07.813 --> 24:09.548 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% You see beautiful artwork done. 24:09.548 --> 24:12.017 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% A lot of it with an airbrush on cars. 24:12.017 --> 24:14.519 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% So that's an industry that hasn't let go of it. 24:19.324 --> 24:20.692 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Some people look at me and they say, 24:20.692 --> 24:21.827 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% You still doing that? 24:21.827 --> 24:22.761 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% You know, it's like, 24:22.761 --> 24:24.296 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% why are you still doing that? 24:24.296 --> 24:28.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% So I just, I'm, you know, I have a paint stained life 24:28.266 --> 24:30.035 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% and that's part of it. 24:33.338 --> 24:36.575 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% When I do a painting I've gotten to in recent years 24:36.575 --> 24:39.511 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% where I don't finish the painting always, 24:39.511 --> 24:41.446 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% I, I like to leave my hand in. 24:41.446 --> 24:43.582 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% And so you can tell it was made with a hand 24:43.582 --> 24:45.951 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% because I used to show my work to people 24:45.951 --> 24:47.385 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and they say, "You're a good photographer." 24:47.385 --> 24:49.321 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% And I said, "These aren't photographs. They're paintings. 24:49.321 --> 24:51.389 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% They look closer and then you can see." 24:51.389 --> 24:53.191 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% So my favorite thing to do is, 24:53.191 --> 24:56.328 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% is to mix it up where you can tell somebody drew it. 24:56.328 --> 24:57.462 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% You can tell somebody painted it. 24:57.462 --> 24:58.930 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% It's not photo realistic. 25:00.298 --> 25:02.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% You let the paint do the work for you. 25:02.400 --> 25:04.269 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% It's like you, you let things happen. 25:04.269 --> 25:06.204 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% You're not, you don't have a plan, 25:06.204 --> 25:07.138 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% you don't have a plan. 25:07.138 --> 25:08.640 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% You start to push paint around. 25:08.640 --> 25:10.509 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% It starts to look right, you know when leave it alone. 25:10.509 --> 25:12.444 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Because I learned something very early in life - 25:12.444 --> 25:15.280 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% It takes two people to do a great painting 25:15.280 --> 25:17.148 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and that's one person to do it 25:17.148 --> 25:19.117 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and the other to tell 'em when to stop. 25:20.252 --> 25:22.187 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Because you can romance the stone forever. 25:22.187 --> 25:23.588 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% You gotta know when to quit. 25:27.192 --> 25:28.994 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% - [Dalia] And that wraps it up for this edition 25:28.994 --> 25:31.029 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% of WEDU Arts Plus. 25:31.029 --> 25:35.934 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% For more arts and culture, visit WEDU.org/artsPlus. 25:35.934 --> 25:38.036 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% Until next time, I'm Delia Colon. 25:38.036 --> 25:39.037 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% Thanks for watching. 25:42.107 --> 25:45.010 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% (concluding music) 26:02.994 --> 26:06.298 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Funding for WEDU Arts Plus is provided by 26:06.298 --> 26:08.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% the Community Foundation, Tampa Bay.
