Julie and the subatomic creatures
Julie Peasley (who is a good friend, and also taught me how to use Quark, which is what I use to lay out my books with) has come out with a line of plush toys that are subatomic particles. They’re doing so well that she’s had to hire people to help keep up with the orders. I’m very proud of her.
This just goes to show what I have always believed: that if you just do art for the sake of art, and you’re good, eventually, something will catch on commercially, create a zitegiest.
Here’s an article about her company in the Denver Post.
Here’s her company’s website: ParticleZoo.net
