Editing The Pen Addict 401/transcript (section)

== Illustration Catastrophe ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' There was an article that Brad was interviewed in for a website, BDC Wire, powered by Boston.com. And they interviewed Brad and included what can only be described as one of the worst illustrations any human being has ever commissioned and published. It's terrifying. And then this illustration was then expanded out to include me and Anna, and this was not done by BDC Wire. Who actually did the illustration portion?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Alexander. Okay, Alexander did that too. Scroll down. Okay. If you scroll down, all of the sources of where he even got that image that he used for you is listed on the source material. And all of the other links to mentions of this article and this catastrophe of a picture. So, like, I did the interview. The title they chose for the interview is, This Guy Loves Pens More Than You Love Anything in the World. And, I mean, I think that's fairly accurate. And then, like, they published the article and this header image is up there. And I, to this day, I have no idea what happened.

'''Myke Hurley:''' One of my favorite things is that this image was printed out and stuck on the wall in the old Nock workshop.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes. It had a prominent space in the office. Yes.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, yeah, with this coloring book, you can go in and actually color in the image to your heart's content and change all the colors. And it's a really weird thing. And it pops up every now and then.
