I got ink!
No, no, no ~ I am still tattoo free! The local paper ~ the Daytona Beach News-Journal ~ ran an article yesterday and today about what I do. It was published first in their Business Review paper that comes out on Mondays, then again today in the regular business section of the paper.
While I think the reporter did a good job (thank you, Audrey), I was slightly offended by the use of the term “kitsch” to describe what I produce. Am I being overly sensitive? Probably. And I have to say, I have no idea where she got the Rock Star analogy, but for a couple seconds there, I thought I heard applause…
My sensitivity aside, overall, it was a nice write-up that ran with a couple decent photos. If you want to read the entire article, please click here.

Congrats on getting some good press…kitsch??What was the reporter referring to? gift ware items? I don’t see anything you do as EVER being kitsch, Beej.

Well… looky you! Congrats! I’m honored to be having lunch tomorrow with a local celeb! If it makes you feel any better, I have been branded with creator of “nifty-gifty”! At least Kitsch is a hot term for trendy collectibles! Either way, I’ll put my sensitivity aside on my way to the bank! All that talent aside, you are a beautiful person and I’m so proud to call you my friend :~))

Ha Rock star Lantz!! Congrats on the feature, very cool!! I have to agree you are like a rock star in our world!
I get the feeling she does not even know what is meant by the word “kitsch” I agree with Joyce she is talking more of it like being “trendy” not in poor taste etc.
It was fun to read about you!! Bravo!

You rock star, you!! Kitsch you are *not.* Geez, I don’t think she knew the definition of kitsch, seriously.
How close are you to Delray Beach? I’m going to be there 2/23-2/27.

Congratulations on the press, on your rock star status, and of course for “making it in the kitcsh business!” That is hee-LArious! I mean, I love me some kitsch, but I always thought of you as a little classier than all that…
