Tampa Bay Inventors Council - www.tbic.us Weekly Meetup

Greetings Inventors,

This week the Tampa Bay Inventors Council will deep dive into a topic that we haven’t covered in quite some time. Illustration! When you are designing your product, packaging, sell-sheet or marketing materials, you need to come across as retail ready and interesting. That is why I have asked Kenny Kiernan to join us this Wednesday and offer a few tips to our inventors on how to make your product look great!

From children's publishing and promotions to concept sketches for product development; original character designs and vector licensed properties, or fully-rendered photoshop digital paint, Kenny has vast experence. Toy and game packaging, fun and kid-centric cartoon logos, mascot characters, 2D animation, comic book-style inserts and promotions - Kenny K's does it all! Please visit www.kennyk.com for lots of samples of Kenny's fun and crowd-pleasing work and meet with him this Wednesday at 6:15 pm. On Zoom RSVP for link or check your email.
