I'm back...for now. I'm not exactly sure how bloggers keep up with their blogs. Sure, I have deep thoughts now and then but somehow blogging about them escapes me for...well it looks like months on end. We've been busy little cartoonists here in the studio, drawing concepts for new products, more art for the next calendar and of course writing. Writing requires solitude and focus, drawing for me requires neither. Give me a couch, a tv and a glass of wine and I'll happily draw and come up with concepts all evening long. Funny, except for the glass of wine, that's pretty much how I spent my childhood.
We just returned from the Atlanta Gift Market and if you are reading all the bloggers who actually
blog, you've probably heard that it was super positive and hopefully successful for everyone. We had a few exciting launches and I never get over the thrill of seeing my work out there in the world--only surpassed by the thrill of the royalty check that comes after. I will not bore you with pictures of me standing next to all the products but I'll share this one from the awesomely cute collection from Blossom Bucket. How cute is that? It's part of a group of 12 little angels we named "Heaven Help Me".So now, with Surtex a mere 15 weeks away (as a friend happened to mention) I must go back to drawing and writing and all the follow-up from Atlanta. See ya!
