Mountain Outlaw magazine, the Outlaw Partners’ flagship publication, brought a big win home to Montana from the Western Publication Association’s Maggie Awards in Los Angeles on May 6.
The companion video to “The Shooter,” a feature story by Bozeman writer Todd Wilkinson for the winter 2016 edition of the magazine, was honored for the “Best Use of Editorial Video.”
The 4-minute, 43-second short documentary focuses on famed Jackson, Wyo. photographer Thomas Mangelsen and explores his relationship with the wild animals he locates in his viewfinder. He says the animals give him an opportunity to do what he loves.
“I feel that it’s important for me to give back,” says Mangelsen during an interview in the video.
Growing up in Nebraska and sitting with his father in a duck blind gave Mangelsen his most prized attribute, he says: patience. It’s this patience the photographer utilizes in his work to capture a specific moment in time, and it’s this patience the Mountain Outlaw production crew wanted to highlight in the film.
“There are a number of fascinating people in the Greater Yellowstone region and telling their stories through video, I feel, provides an opportunity for the viewer to get to know these people as well,” said Outlaw Partners videographer Wes Overvold, who filmed and edited the short documentary.
“Being able to work on this project and meet Thomas Mangelsen was cool enough, but being recognized with this distinguished award makes it that much more special,” he added.
Considered among the most prestigious awards in the publishing industry, the 2016 Maggie Awards drew from the 24 states west of the Mississippi River, according to a WPA press release.
More than 300 people attended the 65th annual Maggie Awards at the LAX Sheraton Hotel. Judges recognized 81 winners among hundreds of consumer and trade publications.
“[The] Maggie Awards once again lived up to its billing as we celebrated the amazing and diverse achievements within our industry,” said Norb Garrett, president of the WPA and executive vice-president and general manager of TEN: The Enthusiast Network. “I always leave this evening more inspired to push boundaries and take creative chances.”

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
