Volunteer work for a Seattle nonprofit organization sewing feeding tubes and other medical equipment into stuffed animals given to children with matching medical needs so they have a friend through good times and hard times.

Feeding tube plush toys

Best Christmas ever to arrange the nonprofit's holiday fundraiser. I asked It's A Wonderful Life actress Karolyn "Zuzu Bailey" Grimes to sign the wings of an angel themed stuffed animal for the auction and she graciously donated a signed copy of her book. The bear even plays a heartwarming message that Karolyn recorded when you press its paw. Here is the image I created for the event --

Where the magic happens

Hal Sutherland, co-founder of Filmation, was a treasured friend. It was an honor when he asked if I would like his studio desk.

Remember in the He-Man credits when Hal's signature turned into the Sorceress?
