If you are wondering how to set up a booth for SURTEX in 60 seconds or less, please see the How To Video above. Okay, you’re right. It took us a little longer than 60 seconds, but thanks to our on-site photographer, Margaret Heck, and video ninja, Julianna Heck, you can enjoy it in 57 seconds flat. We had a great show. For us, it’s a bit of a family reunion with our girls arriving from finals at their colleges to help set up, man, and take down our booth … surely the dream vacation for any college student, right?! Don’t worry, we pay them with our undying love and some excellent dinners.
We also reconnected with dear old friends, met some wonderful new friends, ate delicious meals, walked far, and laughed often. We even sailed with our SURTEX neighbors by Lady Liberty while a DJ was spinning 80’s disco tunes … which was a little surreal, since I actually began my illustrating career in New York humming to those very same tunes! (I was instantly transported to the joy of delivering final art to my agent, while dancing down the streets of New York listening to Gloria Gaynor on my Sony Walkman. But that’s another story.)
