Telling you guys about my "Stage Scenery and Props" set reminded me that I never uploaded this year's stage props I made. These were made for a production of "Cats". The director wanted huge garbage pieces, so I made a couple.
Sorry so many, I just wanted to get these online and into the set while I was thinking of it!
I never paid much attention to this set, & then one day it caught my eye. Maybe I was in cow mode from my cow nipple monster set LOL. I think the cow milk container (it's udder is what it stands on!) & the tiny cow head in the cereal bowl are adorable. I like all the loose cereal pieces (wish there were more), & there is a solid piece of the cereal for the box. All in all, a cute set.
1) cut cereal box and milk carton in shape.
2) glue with glue gun to shape
3) cover with beautiful paper
4) finished product
Leyendecker created a series of twenty children enjoying bowls of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes as part of a major advertising campaign in 1915-1917.
Leyendecker’s work for Kellogg’s is an interesting chapter in both advertising history and his own illustrious career. The campaign featured charming illustrations of children—often dubbed the “Kellogg’s Kids”—each enjoying a bowl of Corn Flakes. These images weren’t just cute; they were strategic.
At the time, Kellogg’s was pioneering the idea of long-running, themed advertising campaigns, and Leyendecker’s illustrations helped solidify the brand’s identity. His signature style—clean lines, expressive faces, and a touch of idealized Americana—made the ads instantly recognizable and emotionally resonant. The campaign leaned heavily into family values and morning convenience, targeting the growing middle class with themes of health, happiness, and domestic ease.
The campaign was a hit. It helped establish Kellogg’s as a household name and contributed to the company’s early dominance in the breakfast cereal market. Leyendecker’s work not only boosted sales but also helped define the visual language of early 20th-century advertising. His illustrations were so beloved that they were reused and referenced for years afterward.

Wanted a alternative to what was made available through 7-11 in 2007. All original, save for the rear panel, which is an actual Simpsons graphic. This is a low res version.

Albertsons' old seal, which was printed on all of the packaging of this style, no matter what the banner of the store was. This seal was also featured everywhere in Albertsons early 2000's interior decor called the Plaza/Theme Park/Grocery Palace interior. This is a close up of the seal that was on the front of the corn flakes box in the other two photos.

I've been having fun playing with my piles of Citra Solv papers...love it!
I'm teaching the class on Oct 11 at Kept Creations in Whitman, MA.
Another goofy fake cereal box drawn during over the course of a few weeks in my cartooning classes (when I wasn't yelling at kids). I'm thinking the free prize maybe shoulda been a pair of cobra balls... a free skull candle would be pretty cool though...
Some 30 -odd years back Jerry Mathers and Tony Dow reprised their familial duo-dom. Tony just had his 63rd birthday

I had to make this her 52 Weeks submission because it's the highlight of the new year so far :) I haven't had this good a laugh in a long time.
I was in the shower Monday afternoon after putting Israel & Simona in their kennels to eat. Judah isn't kenneled (hasn't been for years!) and rarely gets into trouble. So she ate in the kitchen since it was too cold outside. I turned off the taps in the shower and heard Simona whining/barking, which meant Judah was most likely doing something that Simona wanted to do and was mad that she was locked up and couldn't join. I sighed, wrapped myself in a towel and padded into the kitchen to find what I suspected--Judah got into one of the garbage bags I left on the floor. I had just thrown away some chicken bones and didn't bother tying it up--so I wasn't really all that upset or surprised. What did surprise me was that Judah was hiding under the kitchen table ... and when I saw that she was wearing a cereal box on her head I gasped and started laughing. Judah is simply NOT a silly dog like that--who gets into stupid shit. Israel is my idiot dog--he's broken out of his kennel twice, set off my alarm TWICE (and the cops showed up while I was at work....fun...) and ate/destroyed/puked flour, brown sugar and white sugar all. over. the. house. Brown sugar does not come out easily either....
He's also gotten into my paint-by-number paints and SOMEHOW gotten black paint all over his face. He's also gotten into flour a second time as well. The funny part is that he always, always gets caught because he somehow manages to get some of whatever he's gotten into ALL over him....
Anyway. Judah? No. She hasn't been kenneled in YEARS at either house. Totally trustworthy.
So it was quite the shock to see her looking so ridiculous and normal. The mighty Judah has fallen! So what did I do? I ran and got my cameras to document her humiliation. I know most dogs (including my other two) would have been FREAKING OUT with the thing stuck on their heads, panicking, etc. Though to be honest Israel's massive skull probably would have split the box and avoided the whole embarrassment thing.
But to her credit, Judah waited impatiently with her usual calm, cool, collected attitude for me to free her. I don't think she learned her lesson nor does she feel there was a lesson to be learned. She is Judah, she already knows everything. In fact, she probably got stuck on purpose so I could have a good laugh. She meant to do it all along. It was her idea from the start. ;)
Needless to say, Judah is probably the only reason I decided to stick around this long. Life is not very kind to me at the moment. If the last fight in December had ended up differently and Judah hadn't come home that night, I wouldn't have either.
The party's at Fairyland so it seemed they should have some castle notebooks. Made the stamp from foam in the stash, journals from the recycling bin....
