Puget Sound Starts Here, in your face!

May 3, 2016 by Leslie Leave a Comment

Ferry footbridge with Puget Sound Starts Here Fix Car Leaks banner

It’s kinda thrilling to see your work really, really big. And for a critical cause — the health of Puget Sound. This banner at Seattle’s Colman ferry dock is 5 ft. by 33 ft!

I recently revamped an illustrative public awareness campaign I originally created for Kitsap County to promote their water pollution hotline. Funded by the Washington State Dept. of Ecology, the original illustration already has had a useful life — adapted for water pollution awareness advertising by government organizations throughout the region, including City of Bellingham, Port Angeles and Bremerton.

Now, for a Puget Sound Starts Here campaign, the illustration is on buses and ferries from Bellingham to Olympia and west to Clallam County, plus on social media and Pandora ads. The illustration was customized for each required proportion for maximum readability and impact. The PSSH messages are simple and direct: Fix Car Leaks; Use Compost Not Chemicals; Pick Up Pet Waste; No Oil Paint Suds. So do your part! With millions of us living on the edge of a sensitive Puget Sound, we all have an impact on water quality and salmon habitat. Let’s keep only rain going down the drain.

Hello Newman! - A birthday #Cameo by #WayneKnight Hello Newman! - A birthday #Cameo by #WayneKnight from my sweet husband @timcel - what a delightful message from Mr. Knight. I was totally surprised, leave it to Tim to think of this gift. For youngsters or non TV watchers. Wayne Knight played Jerry’s nemesis, the mailman, Newman on Seinfeld, the most popular sitcom of the 90’s. Jerry would always greet him with distain “Hello Newman”. He’s also well known for his performances in the movie Jurassic Park and sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun.

Proof and printing selections from my 2023 100 Day Proof and printing selections from my 2023 100 Days of Shapemaking art project. They’re now available on my website! 😅 Ok, the hardest thing about making a reel is selecting the music. So True popped up, and it always makes giggle — I think of Steve Buscemi singing it in the classic Adam Sandler movie The Wedding Singer. 😆 So there you go, decision made ✅ 🍻
