It turns out that Revolution Pizza! (whom I did the logo for two years ago) is ten minutes from the Heroes Convention! We’re going to head on over there tonight and check out the logo, napkins, menus. Call me silly, but I get a real kick out of seeing my work published and out there. I guess once that giddy happy joy in the bottom of your stomach goes away, you should think about changing careers – after all, that’s what it’s all about. I hope that when I’m ancient, I still get a kick out of seeing my work on package designs.
We are fortunate enough to be next to the lovely (lovely!) creators of Owly. If you haven’t checked out Owly (especially if you have kids!) buy the set! I bought the books for Katheryn when she was five, and now she has an owl room, and is their biggest fan. Andrew was nice enough to do her a custom drawing in his newest (color) book – and she slept with it last night. Owly is a fantastic little owl who goes on kind-hearted adventures. But what makes it truly special is the emotive way that Owly is drawn – the expression given to this little owl, is truly entertaining and out of this world.
Heroes con is fun – we’ve seen lots of fans from last year and lots of new faces. I only did two original paintings this year – and one of them I donated to the Heroes auction. I was hoping to bring the kids to the auction and show them all about the fun and atmosphere of the legendary event, but the placed mine in the silent auction instead (which was a bit disappointing). So, we went out for a lovely dinner and listened to a streetside brass band instead.
