We narrowed down our primary Pearl image to one Alex shot. But why use one when we can combine three or four other’s from Eric’s stash to get everything we want all in one?

Next, it was Chris’s turn. Yep, the kid from Baltimore would be the one to pull it all together and create this year’s image. Little did he know the challenges that lie ahead. If there was ever a picky client, we are the pickiest. Welcome to the family Chris!
 
A bike-part here, a hand-placed pond reed there, take that out, add that back in. As a group every detail was considered and discussed. So far, preliminary feedback on our concept is that “it turned out better than we expected.” Interestingly, everyone’s unique perspective really made a difference this time.

We can’t wait to unveil our submission for “La Bicicletta”. Stop by this Thursday between 6-9pm, see for yourself what we’re all about!
