Costco contacted me a few months ago requesting permission for them to use this photo in their employee magazine, "Costco Today". I received three copies of the magazine today and found the image under the "humor" column toward the back of the October issue.Original title and caption:
"Groovin' at Costco for a Polish."
"Dropped into Costco today for lunch: Polish and Coke - $1.50 + tax. One of the best hot dogs in town and the price is perfecto. The gal in the middle ate two large pieces of pizza and finished off her lunch with a hot dog the size of the one I ate.
Tri-Cities, WA."
exciting

ReplyDeleteBravo! for you...now ask them if they want you to roam the store and sketch---become a celebrity etc...it COULD happen !
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!! It's a fun drawing - I see why they wanted to use it. How did they find you?
ReplyDeleteVery nice! =) Congratulations and it's no surprise your work is recognized

Congrats! They obviously have good taste.
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo! Way to go! Terrific sketch!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Jim! It's always nice to see your work in a publication, right? Good job.
ReplyDeletecongratulations!! you must feel great!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I'm not sure where the humor comes in but glad they liked it enough to publish. I'm like Winna, keep drawing different areas and maybe they'll make you a resident artist!
ReplyDeleteGreat sketch! I am glad you got some recognition and that Costco featured a *sketch* in their publication. I am sure many will enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteYour work always brings a smile, so I'm not surprised that Costco snapped this up! Congratulations...
ReplyDeleteI finally got my Costco Connections magazine this week...and was disappointed that it didn't have your drawing in it. I completely forgot that my membership lapsed for about a month and therefore I probably didn't get that issue. So disappointed! But, congratulations!
