Greetings From Us Crazy Kids At AMP Studio!!!

This weekend during Lincoln's annual Art and Hot Air Balloon Festival, we will be creating a 15 foot penny in the downtown area! Its huge and insanely big!

We started drawing it up last night and will start slinging paint on Friday Eve, Saturday and Sunday.
Adam would like to invite anyone and everyone in the area to come down and join in. The more the merrier!!!
We will keep you posted on our progress as the time flies by.

Bye For Now!
Adam & Sarah May, and Miss Beth

First I would like to say thanks to everyone who helped out on this project. Dispite the pending rain that can doom any project we managed to work through it and pull this baby off. I am so proud of all my help. The Lincoln Walldogs are strong and keeping the craft alive.

Here is a list of all our help some letterheads and others who just wanted to be involved.

Project leaders: Adam and Sarah May
Painters: Scott Lindley (Lincoln and Jacksonville Walldog)
Beth Bryant (Mazeppa, Lincoln, Jacksonville)
Jeff and Leslies Papesch (Old Joes)
The Delgado Sisteres (Priming Crew)
Jen Bohke (Jacksonville Walldog)
Amy Musser (Jacksonville Walldog)

Now here are the photos.

Sarah and Amy  -

Scott and I
 -

Scott managed to find a pigeon of the medium brown variety as a cup spilt between the boards of the scafolding. So much for the lovely Atkinson shirt.
 -

This is Scott and Sarah Sunday afternoon. Beth Scott, Sarah and Myself worked for the majority of the day amist the on again off again rain.
 -

Here she is after Completion last night about 10:30
