Daphne's Headcovers announced that my Monkey Made of Sockies
headcovers are doing really well in Japan. Over in our
neck of the woods, they are just about to clear customs and
should be on the shelves soon. These little guys are hot!
We are already in our second production run.
San
Juan Oaks Golf Club in Hollister, California, will be holding a
headcover release party on May 1st from 6:00 - 8:00 pm.
Enjoy refreshments and be
the first to get your limited edition signed headcover!
Shannon's Music Video, "I Was Made to Cover You", Debuts at the
Sock Monkey Festival
My new music video, "I Was Made to Cover You", debuted at the
Sock Monkey Film Festival in Rockford, IL to rave reviews!
It was incredible to see it on the big screen. If you'd
like to see it for yourself,
click here.
The
musical floodgates have opened. Now music and lyrics are
emerging as I paint so look for an entire CD by the end of the
year.....maybe sooner! I'm already working on my next
song. I think the title of the CD will be "Act Your Age"
(Don't worry, I have no intention of doing THAT!)

Studio News
I just
finished a series of three winter scenes featuring a beautiful red
barn in Sun Valley Idaho. Most of you know I don't normally
paint from other people's photos. However, the photos taken by
Mike Howard were really compelling. I was able to create three
paintings from one of his beautiful photos. I know these will
inspire many licensed products very soon.
I also
created three cloud scenes. March was a month of landscapes.
With the close of March, I'm heading back to still life scenes.
This time the them is corkscrews and other wine bottle
openers.....just in time for Passport Weekend!
