Pimps & Ho Ho Hos

  • December 6th, 2004

OK, these are going to be my last Moxie pimps for a while, as I’m going to be working a lot to get everyone in my queue done before I leave for my much-needed cruise in January. At least, that’s what I aspire to do.

Empress, one of Moxie’s first and since then a favorite repeat client, got a happy bright new Santa theme for her holiday skin. I had so much fun with the santa image and after I cut him out, I just went crazy drawing the rest.  And Susan over at Suej224, just got moxied this morning with her holiday skin, for which she requested “red and gold”.  I went with a slightly more mellow red to pick up the glow of the tree. Kind of traditional…

Tre over at Your Little Secret, another of our fave way-back clients, came back again for a shiny new holiday skin, featuring The Grinch, at her request.  I drew the rest except for the Grinch himself (and, of course, the font—which is called, approrpiately, Grinched. Alas, I can’t recall where I found it, though.) On the right, it’s Krista from Areté, who provided me and image of The Faust Owl from a 1914 Louis Moe print.  She wanted an intellectual winter theme.

Thus endeth my Christmas designs.  Cue Eye of the Tiger.

Next Stop: Oprah! Moxie Client on Dr. Phil!

We were super excited earlier this month when our client, Patricia of MotherinLawHell.com, told us that she was going to be on Dr. Phil’s show.  Woo!  That’s amazing to start.  But when we found out her website was going to be displayed on Dr. Phil’s “big screen” we were even more excited. National television? Syndicated even? Yes, please.

Last Friday the episode aired and I made sure to record it for posterity. Full disclosure: I don’t watch Dr. Phil often (ok, ever), but I was more than happy to watch it that day! And according to Patricia, the Dr. Phil staff “LOVE the design!” and think “it’s so FUN!”.  Yay! We’re thrilled to hear that since we pride ourselves on bold and happy designs. We do fun. Come and knock on our door, Dr. Phil’s staff. Anytime! smile

Yelp Goodness

Island Style Cafe (4/5) on Yelp

I had breakfast here with Lyn P., who recommended it and really, really enjoyed it. The place is really unassuming and since I rarely venture into Tierrasanta, I'd never have known it was there…
