| The Hippo Project: A collaboration by Margaret Almon and Wayne Stratz |
Checking my e-mail one day at lunch I found a note from Margaret.
"Get your representational skills set to go..." That night we wondered if we were being pranked. Surely people send artists prank e-mails. This was no typical house number project~ two four digit numbers plus a butterfly, add a feather, and throw in a hippo. A hippo, who, what, why?
so we said: OK. and then we said: How big? and then we said: Give us some money and we will give you a design and an estimate.
They said 18 by 24, OK, OK, OK... and finally "It's beautiful!"
