Triumph Over Tragedy

Triumph Over Tragedy web site

Studio Wan-ker has been busy this fall with a new client—EYE20 Creative Corridor. I created the identities for the new EYE20 Creative Corridor and its inaugural project: Triumph Over Tragedy. In addition, I’m working on a graphic novel based on the classic Steinbeck The Grapes of Wrath with elementary students from 21 North Louisiana parishes.

Dave has been diligently creating the web site and interactive quiz for Triumph Over Tragedy: A Commemoration of the 80th Anniversary of the Great Depression/New Deal Era in North Louisiana. These are generously supported by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts totaling $110,000.
