I proved this wrong last night. I have been a Kiss fan for over 30 years, I did a lot of paintings, and drawings growing up. I started painting kiss on guitar picks and would give them away. Then I started sending them to web masters of some of the Kiss web sites where they would display them on the web site. I was able to build a relationship with some of the promoters.
As a result I was invited to an event last night where Kiss drummer Eric Singer would be on hand for autographs and they had bands playing. I had done some art work for Eric in the past as well as the band Mr. Speed who is a Kiss look alike band.
To make a long story short, I made some buttons and a BallStars mini home plate of Eric and a Baseball of Mr Speed. I also made a football and a basketball of Eric`s fav team. I sold out of the buttons in about 2 min! I did not even get them into the building! The promoters saw the items I gave Eric and they pulled me to the side to talk. They not only promote Kiss and Kiss merchandise but coach baseball and football. They want to have me work with them in the spring. Eric liked what I gave him, he then signed one of the home plates and gave back to me along with a signed photo, pick, and drum head.
As far as Mr. Speed, The baseball was signed and they gave it to one of their fans that have been following them from the start. They gave it to him saying that this is the ONLY one in the world like it and you have it!.
I just thought I wold share this with you.... Mark:)
