Gearing up for sales

I know, I have been neglectful. I am waiting for an information about my t-shirt printing so I can place a few more orders for toddlers. Thanksgiving in the middle & working all week last week have put me behind my duties.
It's almost December & I have to finally post in etsy. Now I can't find the camera booklet so I can figure out the white light for photographing products.
It will happen soon. It has to happen soon.
Will print sign for World Headquarters of Piccolino Designs/Pingquik/Tweet&Flora to inspire me.

Tweet&Flora card line

Most of the images I am making for Tweet are funny. In the recent show that I participated, the "I like the View" gave people a chuckle and a smile. That makes me happy.

Baby Pingquik Designs for Onesies

Here are several designs which I have in the organic cotton onesies made by the local organization, Esperanza Threads.

Sizes are 3-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-18 months

Results of the Beachwood Art & Craft Show

It was an experience showing my work at the show. Many laughed at my Tweet&Flora card line. I call that one "it brings a chuckle and a smile."

Many ooohhhs and ahhhs at my Pingquik birdie's onesies. Sold 5 baby onesies! 

Sold many of my Penguin & Pingquik Thank You cards!!! A popular one! Thanks to Chiqui's suggestion of adding the letters Thank U to the penguins figures.

It's Halloweeeeen!

Last night my husband & I went to a costume party. It's been a while since we have been to one. Those were the days without kids. So last night Jim dressed as Survivor Man (Les Stroud in Discovery Channel) and I as Cleopatra. My son and his babysitter burned popcorn in the microwave. Thankfully, no flames, but plenty of smoke.
At the party, met a person who made me think about what I want to do with my business. I know I want to keep designing/drawing, but I also need to market myself so I can sell plenty.
My goal: to see my card designs in stores, to see my Pingquik, Tweet&Flora licensed in stuff.
Market-market-market!!!

3 product lines: Getting ready for the Beachwood Holiday Art & Craft Show.

I am getting ready with my 3 product lines: Piccos, Tweet&Flora and Pingquik.
Got together with girlfriends for lunch to brainstorm ideas & to look at my designs so we could tweak here and there.
Make a calendar! Note cards, tees, so many swirling... And logos to go along them.

The birds are pretty funny. I get ideas just by looking outside my kitchen window at the bird feeder.
All illustrations should bring a smile or a chuckle.

The SHOW will be on Sunday, November 7th 10 to 5 in Beachwood's Community/Municipal Center.

Illustrator Conference

Pingquik is in the Tri-C Campus East Art show. By now quite a bit of students have seen my Pingquik Peace T-shirt & illustrations.

Today my son & his friend were wearing their Pingquik t-shirts. One had the Ripper skateboarding Pingquik dude & the other had the Master Pingquik (like a Jedi). So I gave my son's new friend a t-shirt. He picked the baseball Pingquik. He was extremely happy to have one. Hey, who knows, maybe this age group would like them.
We shall see...

Oh, I will be attending the Pittsburgh Society of Illustrators Conference. It looks good.
