Heflinreps e-promos

Since January of this year, we have been sending out email promos based on the current month. Artists create the illustrations specifically for this purpose, and we will continue to release them through the end of this year. It's a great way to connect our potential customers with our artists' portfolios and individual websites. Each one also lists some of the current events and special projects for the month.

We started with "January Jones" by Owen Freeman, and the February illustration was "The Shortest Month" by Paul Rogers. Jared Andrew Schorr illustrated "March Hare," and Greg Clarke created "April Fish." "May-September Romance" by Meilo So was the fifth illustration, and Beegee Tolpa's "June Bug" is going out next week. If you'd like to be added to the list to receive the promos, please send Sally a message at sally@heflinreps.com.

Beegee Tolpa illustrates a Target gift card

Target is now selling the "Reindeer Games" gift card illustrated by our artist Beegee Tolpa. Beegee says, "It was a really fun project to work on. Little & Company, the designers, had a clear idea of what they wanted when we started, so there weren't many revisions. Or any, I think! They approved the first thing I sent in. It's gratifying to work for a client like Target because I shop there so much!" Although it doesn't show on the scan, the medals on the reindeer are reflective gold foil.

Beegee Tolpa finishes first pop-up book

Beegee Tolpa recently finished working on a new children's book for Penguin. It's a pop-up book called Everyone Says I Love You, that will be published in the fall. The book shows different people and scenes from all over the world, including Paris, Venice, the Statue of Liberty, Africa and the Netherlands. Beegee says, "Working on it was really fun but also a challenge. I had a fantastic paper engineer (Michael Caputo) who would send me files, like puzzle pieces, and I'd have to illustrate on the different shapes, not truly knowing what it would look like until it was all put together. I had a steep learning curve (and a fast one! the whole book was illustrated in under two months). Once I got the hang of it, it was great fun." Update: Beegee's book won Second Place, Children's Trade, Pop-up Books, at the 2010 New York Book Show.
