This, as we all know, is winter. And for lots of industries it is a slooooooooooww time for business. It is our worst time of year, often forcing us into living off our savings until  things pick up again — usually around April.

Two weeks ago today I decided we needed a good strong client that could use our services and give us a boost during this bleak, snowy season. BING! Immediately the phone rang.

Super guy on the other end. He owns a steel business in this area and had just bought a second one to join forces.

I have since done lots of projects to help with this bold undertaking on Dave’s part. One aspect was designing a Mascot, a cartoon figure to represent the company. After some development, here is our guy, called Tinner:

Also I did a cartoon showing the existing building and some of the crew:

And the incoming guys and equipment:

These two images were placed on a banner, twenty feet wide and five feet high. Looked rather small on the building, though:

And there was more, lots more. I drew a couple of hours at the Open House and we have plenty of other projects cooking.

Will keep you posted. Thanks for reading!
