My daughter walked into a local craft store with her children and sharp-eyed Olivia noticed a box of Verithin pencils with my image on the packaging. Talk about a weird sort of thrill. I can see why all of you professionals get such a rush from seeing your work on a book cover and such. Of course, she bought if for me. I wasn't expecting them out until 2010. Guess it all depends on a store's ability to move the older inventory. Here's the original drawning and the box. Despite the fact we woke up to snow and a broken heater, this has made my day a tad bit sunnier.

Congratulations! So awesome to see your stuff out there for Prismacolor. I remember you telling me that they would be coming out at some point. Think... soon it'll be in artists' studios everywhere! Ever thought you might be a household name?
So AWESOME for you Kim!!! I'm totally excited to find a set when our local place begins to carry them. Have an excellent day and I hope this takes the chill off a bit :-)
Congrats again on this 'score'! It is truly a lovely piece - (and an excellent use of their product. :-)
Stay warm!
Oh, wow! I've been keeping an eye out, but haven't seen any in person yet.
Awesome!!! That is great news! If I see these I'm gonna get me a box, too, and say hey I know her!!! Totally awesome :)
Thanks to all of you for commenting.
Congratulations! That is thrilling! I'll keep my eyes peeled for your art.
Have I ever mentioned how ridiculously talented you are? :)
Thank you Lindsay.
Holy Cow that's cool. So proud of you, my super talented Aunt!
Gloria is quite the budding artist and uses Prismacolor in her art class. I'll have to check out the covers. Way cool, Kim!
