I owe a lot of credit to Kevin and this board for my current career with my own design agency. Back in my middle school and early high school days, I spent all the time I could manage working on my skills in Adobe Creative Suite, often putting my efforts into Kevin-inspired desktop wallpapers that I shared on the forum. (Maybe I’ll turn to the Wayback machine to see if any aren’t too embarrassing to post again).
Leading up to the 2007 season, the KHI crew was having trouble putting together an e-card to send to Fan Club members on their birthday and offered to send me some merch in exchange for taking a stab at it. I actually don’t know for certain if this art was ever used. Maybe Cindy can confirm. I don’t remember for certain if it was her or Liz I was communicating with at the time.
My dad always loves to tell the story of the surprised reaction I got when my family visited the old KHI shop, and they realized I was just a 13 year old kid. Too bad they closed the shop before I got a chance to take them up on the job offer for when I turned 18! :stuck_out_tongue:
