I'm a Demdaco artist!

I have some VERY exciting news! It has been killing me to keep this a secret but now that everything has been made official I can share!


After about nine months of hoping, creating, contacting, meetings, sending in samples, calls, e mails, brainstorming, more wishing, hoping, and dreaming ..... Demdaco (easily the number one gift company in the US) has offered me a Licensing Agreement and is going to manufacture a gift product line with my artwork and illustrations!

I can't share the details just yet but we have some very fun, inventive and exciting ideas! If all goes as planned we'll launch in January 2012! I'll keep you posted!

    We had the opportunity to preview your work about a month ago - very exciting. The National Accounts department loves the products and is already brainstorming on placement on a national level.
