We debuted our Sweet Pickles t shirt line for kids and juniors this week at the "Magic Apparel trade show" in Las Vegas. We shared the booth with our good friend Dan who is debuting his "World of Mr. Toast" shirts.

Normally I like to tackle all my own projects, but sometimes I know that there is someone better suited for the job. My good friend Holly, the most amazing mascot maker I know, is now in the early process of creating a DCB costume for me. She has the logistics worked out and the fleece picked out.



Holly's previous work is amazing. If you've ever been to DragonCon, she and her group are the ones who always win best in show with their insanely elaborate costumes...




As you can see, I put my DCB costume needs in very capable hands!!!

More Sarah art

I just got my commissioned artwork from Sarah Kargol today. I had asked her a few months ago if she would do a Twiggy themed monster painting... and this is what she came up with:



Yer the best, Sarah!

Amazing new artist

I was at a street fair in Fargo, ND this weekend. It was a pretty typical midwest arts/crafts show - lots of knicky-knacky crafts you'd find at your mom's house and stuff made from beer cans and old farm equipment. It was pretty dull... But just as I was about to give up on finding anything cool, I stumbled upon a booth of artwork by Sarah Kargol.

I see a lot of art - at art shows & openings, online galleries, in books, etc. There is a lot of fantastic stuff out there lately - but none of it has made me more happy (and willing to buy) than the art of Sarah... I dunno why, but it just made me so happy to look at. I bought only 4 pieces so far, as I wasn't 100% if I had the wall space where I wanted to display them.



But once I got home, I discovered I do indeed have the space for them and more... So I'm commissioning her to make me a piece that will go with these. I'm sure I'll be buying more soon. You should too, before she gets too big and you can't afford it! :D
