*Blushing* (not van related)
This is a bit unusual... Christine and I (and our little town of 288 folks) have been covered by the press in a variety of ways over the years, but this one is kind of cool for us. Scroll down to 4 p.m. on Day Two, and BAM! there we are, in the dang Wall Street Journal. My father is a subscriber and is sending us the print original, which, to me anyway, is really the best way to see it.

EDIT: Christine sez we occupied the Wall Street Journal

That is awesome Marc & Christine! You can't put a price on advertising like that!

Re: *Blushing* (not van related)
Very cool, but while we've seen a number of pics of furniture being built and of the finished product, I don't recall seeing any pics of painted wooden fish....
Somehow I don't feel Christine is the shy type, so what gives?

Catfish restaurant? Now that sounds better than painted fish.

Re: *Blushing* (not van related)
This link is to the "Christine's Art" page on our website. In the bottom left corner, you'll see examples of her wooden fish. I cut 'em out and she paints 'em... about 300 per year. Look around on the rest of the website for more stuff that we do.

Re: *Blushing* (not van related)
Oh, and Christine reminds me to shamelessly self-promote by giving you a link to currently available wooden fish, etc.

Re: *Blushing* (not van related)
Thats really cool Marc, congrats...
Christines fish are super cool, think Nemo but much cooler and more unique...
We plan to buy a school someday for our home office when I finish it...
We also want to visit Taylor someday hopefully next year, it seems like a great place... I hear there is a really great movie studio there too I am surprised the paper didnt say anything about that...
...Jamie and Suzann

8 or 10 years ago, we got written up in the "Federal Reserve Board Magazine", of all places. I don't think we were able to attribute a single sale to that article. Hmmmm, 'sup with that?

Clearly you weren't asking enough for your furniture and art. With that crowd, more expensive = better. BTW, Christine's art is great.
BTW, who's the guy on your furniture page? It can't be you, since the guy is wearing a shirt with sleeves.

Re: *Blushing* (not van related)
Marc
If you were to cut out a wood shape that resembled Gnarvan and Christine painted it I would buy it. Custom market here at the SMB Forum you've been ignoring. I'm feeling so left out.
