Outlaw PartnersNew EBS newsletter brings back Town Crier, local, regional content
By Michael Somerby EBS DIGITAL EDITOR
One might hear the ancient cry in town centers around Medieval England: “Hear ye, hear ye!” In those days, the ability to read was a luxury, so the spread of important information relied primarily on interpersonal communication. Often, this responsibility fell, professionally speaking, on the shoulders of a celebrated individual: the town crier.
His job, a role that persisted in North America as recently as 1904 in Los Angeles, was to gather a crowd, sometimes with the assistance of a gong or bell, and yell breaking news to onlookers.
Several centuries later, Explore Big Sky is excited to announce the launch of our “EBS: Town Crier” newsletter, the latest rollout in an ongoing effort to enhance digital engagement and stay current with emerging digital trends.
The latter is a partial mischaracterization—newsletters have existed since the advent of the printing press, but are increasing both in number and variety from news provider’s worldwide, a testament to their lasting power.
In 2013, now-Editor-in-Chief Joseph T. O’Connor would take to YouTube weekly, announcing news, events and general tomfoolery as the Big Sky Town Crier, a character he invented for the medium. Coming full circle, the EBS editorial team is looking to enhance the frequency and timeliness of the news you seek.
“We played around with some fun names but kept returning to the Town Crier,” O’Connor said. “Honestly, I miss him. This is a way to bring back timelier content into the EBS fold.”
Launched March 15 and slotted for a three-times-weekly release each Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning, the “EBS: Town Crier” boasts a myriad of subject matter, sources and content mediums you’ll wake up to and want to check out.
Regular features will include daily weather forecasts, EBS articles, inspiring and educational quotes, staff-selected songs and music videos, compelling images from our social media accounts, staff-created polls and aggregated news briefs from around the region. We aim to provide subscribers with an informative and entertaining platform where you can start your day.
For “EBS: Town Crier” seekers, a subscribe function has been added to the explorebigsky.com homepage, making it easier than ever to bring EBS into a daily news feed.
The Outlaw Partners is a creative marketing, media and events company based in Big Sky, Montana.

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.
