Cambodian Vulture Conservation Project

I designed a t-shirt and all I got was this lousy t-shirt...
Kidding! (So kidding) ...let me 'splain.

(So I thought I had blogged about this before, but for some silly reason I could not find it...)
As you may, or may not, know... on a whim I made a series of posters based on the popular "Keep Calm and Carry On" theme that's everywhere, except mine was "Keep Calm and Carrion" with vultures and crows.
Out of all the artwork I have done, I sell the heck out of these on Etsy. Go figure.


Several months ago I was contacted by Angela Yang at the Bronx Zoo. She works for the Wildlife Conservation Society.
Somehow she became aware of my silly posters.
She emailed me and said she was working on the Cambodian Vulture Conservation Project.  She liked my posters, particularly the brown vulture one, and would I be interested in letting them put it on their t-shirts?
"But of course!" (You can't tell, but that's me, doing my best Pink Panther/Peter Sellers impression...)
She also commented that they needed Cambodian Vulture Conservation Project on the front.  So, not knowing for sure if they'd use it or not, I did a logo for that too, and they used it!








How cool is that?!

  6. Oh my gosh! How exciting and how tickled you must be. It's an incredible honor and yes, it won't make you rich in money but rich in blessings. I can see why they sell. Such a sense of humor you have. Wonderful!!!
