My first job in high school was working for McDonald's, where I recognized many opportunities to connect with the community. It began when they introduced a Happy Meal featuring a movie that was playing at the local theater. I shared the idea with the theater, that when children would bring their empty Happy Meal box - along with their ticket-buying parent - the theater would fill that box with po
pcorn for free. The option for free popcorn at the movie printed on the Happy Meal box helped to sell more Happy Meals, popcorn is very inexpensive compared to the 2 movie tickets the theater had just sold, and parents felt they were saving money because they only had to purchase a drink to go with the free popcorn. Although I began as a Drive Thru worker, within 2 years I was doing the marketing for 3 McDonald's restaurants - while still in high school. I have always been an artist, and always found ways to earn a living creating art that would sell. Discovered by Penny Lane Publishing, my images have been reproduced on procucts from greeting cards, flags, dishware, wallpaper, textiles, etc. Here in my studio on the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee, I have begun creating tshirts for my family and friends. I will be introducing my designs as I create them and will be filling orders. Because they are MY unique designs, they can be tweaked to refect YOUR particular needs. So tell me, what are you wanting to communicate?
