Exactly one year ago Ned Gall and I set out on a journey to make a documentary on Gene Tully. Gene is an artist from Dubuque and I didn't know anything about him, but by the project's end Gene's outlook on life really started to hit home to me. I hadn't seen Gene in a year and when we were making the film he had promised me an art piece, so I went down and visited with him. He always has something inspiring to say and I don't even think he realizes the impact of his words; just a great guy.
Here are some photos I took of his studio and him working on my piece.
Where Gene cuts his medal. This is where much of the inspiration for our film came from.
