I got a lot of great kids stuff at the Paul Frank Warehouse Sale a couple of weeks ago. I always get a lot of stuff for LuLu and I also like to get clothes for my sister’s kids. So, I put together this package of stuff for my sister and her husband and their kids Noah and Hayden. I threw in some Franco gear for Chris (my sister’s husband) and I think I sent my sister Josie a T-shirt (??) or, I don’t know what I sent her, but I got her kids A LOT of stuff so, Merry Christmas!
I threw all of the stuff into a box and then decided to top it off with a last minute holiday greeting cobbled together from some office supplies laying around the warehouse.
Happy HOLE-idays Everyone! Merry ChristmASS!

It’s kind of funny blogging for no one. Yet that is precisely what I will be doing for the next couple of weeks or so as I make the transition from being at Franco to officially “going GOST.” It is just as well I suppose.

I must say that one of the things that I find attractive about going GOST is that I will be able to blog more often and I won’t have to worry so much anymore about whether or not what I am writing will be appropriate for the company.

I am writing this to send it to the future…because no one can read it now.
Two days ago (from where I am sitting, here in the past), on December 3rd, 2008, Joe Navran and I went to lunch together and decided that it was in everyone’s best interest if he and I split ways. Joe wanted to continue on with Franco Shade, but take it in a new direction graphically (to be fair, he was really just steering it back more toward the original direction) and I would venture off to embark on a new project.

Kris Troyer from Rochester, NY sent in these photos of the new tattoo he got on the back of his calf. We’ve seen a lot of tattoos of the Ghost and Knives Logo, but this is the first time we have seen anyone get a tattoo of our little cartoon ghost, Franky.
