I was watching "Sleepy Hollow" the other night and guess what I saw? A triaminic commercial, animated with felt artwork. It was absolutely delightful and I recognized the artists work immediately. Clair Beaton. Claire Beaton is a children's book illustrator and she creates her gorgeous illos with felt. Obviously, I'm a huge fan and have been following her career for years.
The commercial used the fox and sheep from "Who are you, Kangaroo?" I know this because I have a signed copy of this book that my dear friend Janee got me when she met Ms. Beaton in person!
Check out the website. It's covered in adorable felt illustrations.
Swoon swoon swoon.
Wahhhh! I want my work to be so popular that it gets chosen for a children's medicine campaign!
=o)
Roz,
I saw that commerical and thought of you.. But I too noticed it came from that book!
I just got a new job working as a graphic designer for my local library system...
I am glad you got to see the commerical!

Thanks for the post Roz... the commercials caught my eye and I loved the tone and texture of the voices as much as the amazing feltwork. I had no idea the whole website would be done in wonderful felt images. Just so much fun!

Yes! I saw that too! I immediately thought of you! Wouldn't that be the coolest to see your art animated, and a whole campaign modelled after your work?

I was also pretty impressed that they decided to go with fabric art in that campaign...that's a nice change from a lot of the junky ads out there! I think it will open people's eyes to the possibilities...

Liz, that is such a good point about opening ones eyes to the possibilities!

Oh! You have EVERYTHING it takes to have your work shown in a commercial and then some. You have so much talent! I'm going to believe with you. It's gonna happen for you! Just wait and see.

I saw that commercial too - and also just received a promo copy of "High Five" - and totally recognized your artwork on the cover. That's not bad visibility!
