Congratulations to our artist, Bill Jackson, as he was recently featured as a guest artist in the Doodlewash website!

Doodlewash is a place where artists go to inspire and motivate each other.  The featured article about Bill Jackson takes you through his journey to become a watercolor artist.  From his early dreams of being a movie star, through the “disco era” where he was a fashion design student at Parson’s School of Design, to present day where he is a licensed artist.

Bill says: “These days, I vacillate between ‘fine art’ and painting for textiles. I also create images for Home Décor… For these images, I combine hand painted motifs with digital patterning techniques I picked up over my years in the textile industry. When time allows, I like to paint in a series.”

On Friday, June 17, our team had a bittersweet day. It was Nolan’s last day working with us in Vermont. He will be moving to Austria at the end of this month, but he will continue to remain part of the Art Licensing Team. He will be working remotely and will still be an active part of our Art Department.

To celebrate his time with us, we snuck out of the office early to have a family style BBQ at Matt’s house. The PPC (Party Planning Committee) decorated the house with American and Austrian Flags as well as some funny photos of Nolan and the team.

We enjoyed some delicious food, a “Choco-licious” cake (Nolan’s favorite) and some fun in the sun (playing with Matt’s children on their playground). We all had a relaxing and enjoyable time visiting and reminiscing about some of our work adventures.

We are so lucky to be part of such a caring and loving work family. We know we will have a lot more memories with our new International Project Liaison. To see all of the photos from our party, check out our Facebook album.

Our artist, Jeff Haynie, will be showing and selling his work in person to crazy cat people from around the world at this years “CATCON!”

On Monday May 16, Matt snuck out of Surtex, hopped in a cab and headed to Brooklyn. He was off to see our artist, Dean Russo. Dean’s studio is in the iconic Industry City Studios. They were having an open house where visitors were able to tour the studios full of painters, photographers, printmakers, sculptors, video artists, etc. The passionate and diverse tenants are integral components of the ecosystem of Industry City. The artists are able to flourish in a creative and encouraging environment.

After a 20 minute cab ride, Matt stepped out onto the energetic streets of Brooklyn. He walked into the Industry City Studios and was greeted by various artists. He went straight to Dean’s studio so he could get inside the workspace of the creative genius.

Matt got a tour of the colorful space and learned techniques that Dean uses to create his unique masterpieces (trade secrets, of course). Matt says that it was truly amazing to see the paintings come to life, not to mention a sneak peek of what he is working on!

Together, Matt and Dean, bounced ideas around for new images and upcoming licensing projects. You will not believe some of the ideas they cooked up!  You will see lots of these amazing pieces on our website in the near future.

Dean’s bright and colorful images are sure to brighten anyone’s day. To see all of his vibrant images, click here.
