The Artist Ride, Wall, South Dakota August 2010

A note to let folks know that I attended the Artist Ride this summer in Wall, S.D.  Overall it was great event, although incredibly hot this time around (in the middle of the day, 106 in the shade on Sat-Sun!).  Met alot of great models, cowboys, native Americans, artists, etc.....Thanks to Jim Hatzell who really puts out to make this thing happen.  If I have a chance, I'll post a few pics.  The models who come also work incredibly hard, and are a joy to work with...... As other artists told me, one needs to set up alot of private shoots to get your own reference, which I did......A recommended experience if you can afford it and can get on the short list......got to http://www.artistride.com/The-Artist-Ride-new.html, a part of Jim Hatzell's website to see more.
