I’ve mentioned before that I sat on top of a scaffold in a bike shop for a week doing a mural. It was interesting to be the proverbial fly on the wall, and see the different ways that different employees interacted with different customers. There were variables everywhere- time of day, personal or by phone, male or female, kind of bike rider, general personality of the employee, general personality of the customer… it was a subtle dance, each interaction unique.

And now that Mr Artisinal Sandal has been fulfilled, he will blog it all over and the line will form in about another 20 min. Take a page from some of the snooty bridal shops and make them make appointments to be seen and be difficult to get an appointment. (now there are some excellent shops and some that you wonder how they can still be in business)
LOVE the tears welling up in his eyes in panel 3!
It’s like when I got my artisinal, one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted commissioned artwork of Hubris for my computer wallpaper.
What kind of artwork have YOU commissioned from Greg?
I ordered a custom cartoon panel done for a friend. Greg was great to work with, the result was FAB!!!!! and the friend is still bowled over. I have helped support the arts!
You are a good person, and there will be a place open for you when you join Bob at the campfire this summer.
Tenk U. I have to sit downwind though as I have to take a bath in DEET or get chewed to a bloody goober. So arrange sitting accordingly.
BTW, I still get a kick out of the return address when the art masterpiece was sent to me, “Lurlene’s Pet Motel and Discount Taxidermy” (address). I can’t believe it went through the mail…. 🙂 (then it was sent elsewhere and I finked on customs forms, wrapped in Tyvek and looking SO innocent)
Yep, this is the only comic so far with the tag ‘bespoke’.
Don’t be too impressed. I had to look it up a while back. It stuck in my head like a song ’til I found out exactly what it meant.
Happiness is universal. It can come from anywhere.
and that will be 19 bucks with discount
You wish.
