>The Longer You Stay In One Place

I wonder if the author meant staying physically in one place or staying emotionally in
one place. I can see both being true, but I can also see staying in one place
emotionally increasing the chances of happiness as well. What do you think?

Reasons to become a Napkin Kin.

I started drawing the napkins for my daughters in the hopes that they would be stimulated in their minds and hearts to think deeply and well about a range of topics. Now that I draw them for everyone else as well I hope the same.

So, if you:

Are interested in the world of ideas and want to engage in meaningful conversation with an intelligent community about them
Love quotes and the power within them.
Want to gain insight how to creatively communicate with your own sons or daughters or anyone you are in relationship with.
Like to view, investigate and decipher art.
Just like fun cartoons.

Then I hope you will become one of the Napkin Kin and be stimulated to learn, engage and be help build yourself and those you love for the better.

Contact me if you have an idea of how we might help each other.

My Wish List

For my plan to conquer the world to succeed I need following things to happen. If you can help, I will make you Secretary of Something or Other, I promise.

Sponsorships

I would love to have a paper company sponsor me and become the "Official Napkin of The Napkin Dad".
I would love to have a pen/marker company sponsor me and become the "Official Marker of The Napkin Dad".
I use quotes every single day. I believe a reference book publisher could get a lot of mileage out of connecting with me.

Publishing and Distribution

I am working on my second self-published book but would also love to get an agent and a publisher and have a book published the old fashioned way.
Who doesn't want their work distributed. I would love to see the napkins in daily or weekly publications.

Merchandise

I currently have my merchandise available online via Zazzle. However, I would love to get it out to brick and mortar stores and am looking for companies who can do greeting cards, t-shirts, posters and more.
Much of my work works well for specific audiences such as parenting, athletics, corporate, creativity, education. I need help finding avenues for those audiences to find out about the artwork that would fit for them and get the appropriate merchandise in their hands.
