Shameless self-promotion

What a fun ad ....


Looks like Jed is about to face plant in a bowl of soup, doesn't it?

I suppose making the pony come to life is hungry work.

The October edition.

You are so cool! Did Jed aspire to be a model? Does he have framed photos of his magazine tear sheets up in his office?

toyfoto said...

He's got plans to frame it and hang it in the bathroom. And although this was a US ad, he likes to tell people he's "Big in Belgium."

I'm curious if you sold this through an agency or through Getty? I've sold a fair amount of stuff through Getty but have never been able to see it in use because it DOES always seem to be in Belgium . . . or at least somewhere in Europe.

It was sold through Getty. I rarely get to see how the photos are used either because they only tell you the buyer, who is usually an ad agency. Occasionally someone I know will see and recognize us and let us know. A friend in Maine recognized Jed's calves (and his mom's backyard) in an ad for a medical center. I happened on a snap of Ittybit in a movie trailer.

I'd just like to know because it would be a treat to see use of a photo that was paid for. Whenever I find something of mine it's because it was stolen.
