I use to think that if I didn’t design I’d paint. Use to. Now I have no idea what I’d do if I didn’t design.
Truth is, I don’t think I have finished a painting in a decade. I’ve dabbled a few times since then. Once I even did some watercolor backgrounds to scan in. I used those in a design, the paintings themselves were never what I’d call finished.
When I walk by my paints and brushes sometimes I feel sad about that, sometimes I just wish I had an excuse I could use. Just a small reason why I should drop everything for a few hours and have fun. I keep telling myself that is reason enough, but I never do.
Then I got an email from Paul “The Professor” Berkbigler asking me to be on a panel for his AIGA Nebraska student event – Me, Myself & Design 2009 in Lincoln, Nebraska. Somehow I always find time for those, so I said yes. Paul had other things planned. He was making an excuse to design custom toys, and the fourteen panelists were all told to create one as well.

I have to say, for the record, that I am a huge fan of Mighty Muggs. I have four: Chewbacca (the best), Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and Beat-Up Luke Skywalker circa Empire Strikes Back, complete with black eye and removable hand. I am quite the fan of the new G.I. Joe models, as well. They do make blank Mighty Muggs, and on my giant to-do list is to get myself a pair of those and make a Conrad and a Newton to share on the site. That order should go in soon. I have also learned that some Muggs are collectible, but not, apparently, in the vague sense.
