Smile, you're in Timmys



Stop into any Tim Hortons coffee shop across the country this week and I suspect you will see many iterations of the smile cookie I painted for their agency a couple of years ago. At both my local Timmy's I saw window clings and small size posters. The t shirts the staff were wearing had it on them and it was also on the in-store television monitors.

I remember it was a fun job to do. I had to buy a lot of cookies to use for my "research", yeah, let's call it research. Funny how so many of the cookies ended up in my belly after I had finished researching them.

No, I don't think that having these images up all over the place makes me famous (Little Lugs always wants to know "Does that mean you're famous daddy?") but it is a blast to see it up and being used. Unfortunately, to put up the smile cookie window clings they had to take down one of my other illustrations of a park for an anti-litter campaign. Win some, lose some.
