DREAM PETS


Picked up these cool R.DAKIN & CO. 'DREAM PETS' at the HOLLYWOOD MIRROR on Belmont today! They resemble characters that my friends MITCH O' CONNELL and DAVID SHELDON use in their art.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY from RANKIN/BASS!


CHRISTMAS IN JULY! PALACE PRESS

Have you ever had someone say they would call you...and then never call? Several times? For something that would benefit them and their company or business? Well, I have and it is extremely agrevating. What is even more ridiculous, is to have that person spin it and put the blame on you. Oh well.... The statement "If you want something done right, you need to do it yourself" has rung true for me time and time again.
