Ozark Foothills FilmFest held a statewide competition to find a  image for 2010  festival poster.  The festival has selected a work by Arkansas artist Damian DeLoach.  The piece is a a digital collage using original photographs; the title of the principal photo is “Decomposition.”  This work was selected from among more than fifty entries received.

DeLoach was born in Pocahontas and graduated from Pocahontas High School in 2001. He worked as an intern at Niche Publications in Jonesboro beginning in 2005 and stayed on as a graphic designer, working on magazine ads and layouts until graduating from Arkansas State University in 2008 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design. He describes his work as “edgy,” dominated by textures and lots of layers. He is currently employed as a Marketing Specialist at White River Medical Center. DeLoach is married and has a four year old son and a one year old daughter.

The poster will be unveiled at a press conference announcing the 2010 Ozark Foothills FilmFest line-up on February 15 at the Batesville Area Arts Council Gallery. In addition to the poster, DeLoach’s work will grace the cover of the festival program.
