As everyone received their poster, we got some mixed responses, but we have heard some really interesting ideas of what a few people are thinking of doing. But the majority of people I've heard from don't have a clue at this point, so Netherland, don't worry because you're not the only one who's stumped! Your son is soooo cute by the way!

I think it would be cool to hear from an artist's perspective what the most desirable poster would be. Since I'm not an artist, I look at this in a completely different way. We definitely put thought into pairing the poster and artist, but I probably don't realize what factors are the most challenging (for instance a white background vs. color background).

Here are some of the before shots of the posters...
