My Dog Art was really on Good Morning Texas!
Behind the Scenes at
The Good Morning Texas Shoot Today!
Yay ... I think I did pretty good this morning with my 15 seconds of fame. All of the people at the Good Morning Texas Studio were so nice and so fun. Everybody was very professional and I think the art work showed well. I will try to post a video embed later this week, sometimes that is easy to do and sometimes not so easy. If it shows up on their site it will be a breeze to share it ... crossing fingers.
Thanks to show producer Angie Carpenter for contacting us to come out with our pet portraits and to Amy Vanderoef for being such a fun host. Oh, and thanks to family and friends for rooting for us.
Halo Papercraft: Warthog Military Vehicle
While I was digging around James Bowen's site for the previous post I came across this papercraft from the Halo series of video games. It is a M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle, more commonly known as a "Warthog". Pretty neat, eh? This is the first Warthog paper model I have seen and with a template at only 2 pages and 30 parts, it should not be that difficult to build. The template is located here.
Movie and Video Game Character Paper Toys
James Bowen, the creator of Ham Headz paper toys, is probably best known for his superhero paper toys, but over time he has added characters from outside the world of comic books. Pictured above are some of my favorites. Starting in the upper left and going clockwise are Gordon Freeman from the Half-Life series of video games, King Leonidas from the movie 300, V from the movie V for Vendetta, and B. A. Baracus (played by Mr. T) from the A Team television show. You gotta love the mini 3D weapons Bowen gives his toys. Templates are available here.

Got Any Tips For TV Interviews?
Tomorrow I get to go on live TV with the Good Morning Texas Show. I spent the weekend shopping for clothes, and now I am taking the afternoon off to think about my talking points and pack up my display samples. This morning I surfed the web a bit for TV interview tips. A lot of what I have found is the same stuff my publicist friend Kelly Kitchens has told me to do. Kelly is a sweetheart and she and Lola will both be going with me in the morning to help me carry stuff in and root for me behind the scenes.
When the producer for the show contacted me she said they would want one spokesperson from Art Paw and I would be on with another artist. I thought to myself how much more natural I would be if I had Lola up there with me under the lights. Oh well ... I figure I can handle it, I know how to tell my story after all. In a passing e-mail with the producer I asked who the other artist was. I then looked the artist up on-line and fell in love with her work and e-mailed her to see if she would like to do coffee. I knew that if we met and had some sort of connection I would feel a lot more relaxed the day of the shooting. It turns out we are practically neighbors, and we chatted over coffee like old friends. I even went shopping at the mall with Suzy on Sunday. Suzy Moritz-Rawdin strikes me as a real go getter and an artist that does not sit around waiting for stuff to happen, she makes things happen. She is a talented artist so be sure and check out her website. July is turning out to be a great month... in addition to having a great PR opportunity I have a fun new artist friend that is heavily involved in the local arts scene.
Here are the top 5 tips I found today For TV Interviews ... crossing fingers I can do them all with ease. Wish me luck! And if you have your own tips or TV stories to share please leave a comment!
• Look at the interviewer (not the camera).
• Move your head, move your hands, and move your body.
• Focus on only three message points, and be conversational ( don't memorize stuff).
• Brainstorm likely questions.
• Kelly told me to just relax and remember not to talk in any sort of sales-pitch speak ... this should sound like a fun lively conversation and not a commercial.
