Team Atomic Cycling recently participated in Chattanooga, TN’s 2010 Tour De Cure. The jerseys arrived just in time & look great! The community news paper took a great shot of the cycling team (all TVA employees, hence the name), sponsored by S & S Railroad, Trek Store Chattanooga & Creek and Trail.

Catch Magazine
The best visual representation of why I love fly fishing is found in the digital pages of Catch Magazine. Not only is the photography absolutely stunning, but the content is kept short and interesting. In most magazines the articles are accompanied by the photography, but in Catch the photos standout, while the text is there to compliment the visual dynamic. The editors of Catch clearly understand that a great photo is really worth more than 1,000 words, and they deliver a bi-monthly photo annual that doesn’t disappoint. Click here to subscribe.
Back from my blog sabbatical…
It’s been several months since my last entry & a lot has happened to keep me from it. January brought the death of my Grandfather-in-Law, which was a shock to everyone and the loss of a great man. In early February my dog died, so that’s life kicking me while I was down, all in the midst of having a personal crisis as to my future career status, whether it be freelance or a corporate job… (yet to be determined)
I say all this knowing that it probably interests very few people. Not that I have any blog followers, but it’s nice way for me to chronicle my progress (or sometimes “lack-there-of”) and hopefully I’ll continue to morph this website into a resource for outdoorsmen or even wanna-be-outdoorsman, like myself.
Protect Your Hands…
A recent project I just finished was the new header card for Xtreme Glove.
Every angler knows that after a day of catching largemouth, your thumbs are raw & torn up from their teeth. Never fear. There is a solution. Xtreme Glove has several options for angler hand protection, from the original to the max, to a great glove for the flats, they’re even available in youth sizes. Look for the Xtreme Glove in BassPro Shops nationwide. Xtreme Glove has a Pro Team of many great anglers, including Rick Clunn, 4-time BASSMASTER CLASSIC CHAMPION! They’re even the official sponsor of the Walt Disney World Guided Fishing Excursions.
On a side note, I use these, not only for bass fishing, but for fly fishing as well. Not only do they insulate your hand from the, usually, frigid water, but they offer protection from line abrasion while stripping big streamers through the water, or if your fish takes off in a hurry. These gloves are awesome! I don’t go fishing without these in my bag. It’s great to work with clients that have great products!

I’ve been a busy man…
For the past several weeks i’ve been working non-stop 16-20 hr days on the Wes Hixon project, which was completed yesterday at 5 pm. I created a 72-page catalog, a folding self-mailer, a complete logo redesign, business cards, a 10′ wide x 8′ tall tradeshow backdrop & a 36′ wide x 8′ tall tradeshow backdrop (yes, i said thirty-six feet), all in full hi-resolution. Last night was my first real sleep since before Christmas! Here’s a look at the smaller (10′x8′) tradeshow backdrop. The catalog will be posted online one of these days & I’ll link to it then. Visit Wes Hixon’s website on my links panel to the right.
A new look for Creek and Trail
I am currently working hard on a client’s design project, but made the time this weekend to design a new screensaver for myself. I used an old map of the southeast from the turn of the century (guess i have to specify early 1900′s now) which centers on the Smoky Mountains & the A.T. (my stomping ground for all things outdoor recreational)
