Big Book of Self-Promotion

We were recently featured in a new book by Harper Collins called the Big Book of Self Promotion. They featured our promotional campaign for the SPCA's Wine for Whiskers event last year. Read more about it here.

You can get the book through Amazon.

Incredibly powerful photoshop

Sean sent me this site by Maciej Mitzer, a graphic designer and digital artist out of Poland. BY far some of the best work with Photoshop we've seen. Who says you can't create art on a computer?

Wine For Whiskers

Last night I attended the SPCA of Central Florida's annual Wine For Whiskers event, a charity wine tasting event that helps raise funds for the animal shelter. What made last night's event special is that I had a chance to produce the posters, invitations and all the event graphics for the night. Attendence was about 400 people, which was about double from last year's event.



I had a small table set up showcasing some of our work. On the table, I had displayed a small collection of posters (shown above), which as the night went on, kept disappearing. I would replenish the pile and it would quickly vanish. As I mingled in the room, I learned that the night was filled with buzz about the posters. People loved them. I was asked to sign autographs on several of them. I hadn't done that since I was in a rock band a decade ago.

The evening was great and really got me thinking that perhaps there is an opportunity in illustration somewhere here.

For those of you that want to exercise your creative muscle, the Illustration Friday site provides a fun way to show off your artistic skills without the pressure of "getting it right." Each week, the site provides a topic and subscribers get a chance to submit their artistic interpretation of the theme.
