This past Monday I
wrote that something exciting was going on, that I would talk about it soon, and that it was somehow related to the Hood Dairy company... Well, here's what's happening (drum roll, please):
My artwork is going to be featured in a TV commercial for Hood Eggnog! Hood (a New England dairy company, for those of you outside their area of distribution) is introducing a new line of flavored eggnogs - Cinnamon, Pumpkin, Gingerbread and Sugar Cookie - which they are promoting on TV. I don't know the specifics about the script, but the commercial features a fabulous retro family whose house is decorated with, among other things, a number of pieces by yours truly. The commercial, entitled "Spice Up The Holidays", will air all over New England between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'm so excited!
So here's how it all came together: I was contacted by Jim Kent on behalf of Airstream Pictures last Friday. He explained that they were shooting a commercial for Hood Eggnog, and they needed to dress up a mid-20th century home in Maine in a retro style. He had seen
my work online, and thought it would be a great fit. Naturally, I said yes.
On the tightest of schedules, I had just a couple of days to come up with a ~3'x3' piece to cover a bookcase. Jim was incredibly accomodating, getting me the right size board himself, dropping it off, and then picking up the finished piece two days later - all while coordinating all the minutiae that goes into shooting a TV spot two states away! All in all, they used my new
prints (which will be featured at the
Design Nearby show), five paintings from my private collection, and the big, square, custom, bookcase-cover thing I made specially for them.
Here is a pano shot of the set. Can you spot my pieces there? (click to enlarge):
Here's a hint:
It looks so pretty! I can't wait for it to air! :-)
Thanks to Jim Kent, the Garrand Agency, and HP Hood.
My animal flash cards at Michaels were the hot item of the bunch, but all good things come to an end. I've been getting desperate e-mails from so many people that they can no longer find the flash cards and I'm here to report that they will not be restocked. I did get an e-mail from someone searching hi and low and I'm happy to say they can still be found at www.scrapbook-creations.com. Thanks Heather!
Another one of my customers was nice enough to send me an image of her new nursery. I love the blue and green scheme! I'm not sure who made the other two prints, but they all look great together. The print she purchased was #P-2007-4.

My print looks great in its new home! Thanks Stefanie for sending me the picture!
Another one of my costomers was nice enough to send me an image of one of my prints on her beautiful wall. The top print in the picture is by artist Qiana L. Pucel, who has been featured on this blog before; the bottom one is #P-2007-6, by yours truly. Don't they look cute together?
