Ultimate Cowboy Showdown Season 4

In this fall issue of Cowboy Lifestyle Magazine, we did quite a spread on the new cowboy reality TV show, Ultimate Cowboy Showdown. Check out the full magazine for exclusive interviews and recaps of all of the contestants on this season’s show.

Unlike any other reality show, the Ultimate Cowboy Showdown celebrates the life of real working cowboys and highlights the tradition of the cowboy code. Speaking of cowboy code, it’s part of the show’s landscape that the cowboys and judges discuss taking responsibility for their actions, how they handled themselves, and how they need to improve. Values such as hard work, clear thinking, and good planning are rewarded, and those that fall short are sent packing. The show is a refreshing and much-needed look at the life and contribution of the American cowboy. Check out the full feature here.

Artist Spotlight: Phil Epp

Phil Epp was born in York, Nebraska, in 1946 and raised in rural Nebraska on a crop and cattle farm. Phil says he is strongly imprinted into the open spaces of the Great Plains where he was born and has spent most of his life. His paintings reflect this celebration of open sky and landscape, with a hint of human occupation, and he strives to incorporate timeless universal icons into the landscape.

What sets Peggy apart is that she uses a more graphic approach to composition and design that comes from her illustration background. She tries to describe the intensity of the West as it was lived in the past and still is today by a select few weathered souls, in addition to portraying the animals that still grace our Western states and those who care for them.

Krysta: Can you give our audience a little background on yourself and how you got into photography?

Michael: As a kid, I was into artistic things such as drawing and painting but playing in sports usually got in the way. Then about 10 years ago I was given my first DSLR camera and re-found an appreciation for art and expression from behind the lens.
