Editing The Pen Addict 272/transcript (section)

== Children's Book ==


'''Joey Feldman:''' Yeah. I trust you. I'm excited about that. Um, but I also, last week I actually signed the contract to do a children's book. Oh, cool. I'm super excited to do that. Cause that's been a dream of mine and the story was right. And, uh, you know, that, that's going to go, that's going to happen soon. So I'm going to start working on that. Um, so that's very exciting. And, and, and, you know, I have this private, not private, but there's a Joey Feldman collectors group on Facebook that has just been, you know, blowing up. Um, and it's, it's unbelievable. Like, you know, when people like your work, it's like, I still don't believe it. Sometimes it's, it's beyond my wildest dreams. Uh, but I also hooked up, I have to mention a bottleneck gallery out of New York. Uh, I have a piece coming out from them next week. Uh, we kind of teased it a little bit, but, you know, working with them has just been phenomenal because they are like pretty big in this pop culture world. And the fact that Joe, who's the owner believes in me and he's invited me into that realm and decided to represent me with works is just, again, you know, it's, it goes on my gratitude list every day.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I was excited to hear that. Um, you know, in San Francisco this week, when you were telling me all this and just to see the, the growth that you've had just over the past couple of years, not just professionally, but personally as well. It's, uh, it's, it's very impressive. And I, like I said, I'm lucky to consider you a friend and, uh, to have you, you know, come and share, you know, what you're up to on this show. I really appreciate you taking the time to do that.

'''Joey Feldman:''' I, listen, I appreciate you having me on. I, I love the podcast. You know, I, I missed a couple months. I was in a little bit of a pen slump, but I needed to do that, you know, a couple months ago. And then I got to San Francisco, uh, you know, we all go through that, you know, you, there's so much you can buy or see that you just got to take a break. And, uh, but I've, it's always been such a, you know, educational source for me to just listen to you guys in the car, you know, and, and it's, it's just, it's good community and it's, and it's a podcast. It's done well, right. It's done, uh, well. So I, I, you know, the fact that I'm on it, it's like, I, I figured myself that I'm on here. I went from, cause we didn't know each other. And then I got to know, you know, I, I feel like I went from the mailroom to being one of the vice presidents now. Of the company, you know, cause I'm on the, I'm on the podcast.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's amazing. All right, buddy. Well, I will let you get back to drawing. Why don't you real quick, can you tell everyone where they can find you online? Where do you want to send people to?

'''Joey Feldman:''' Uh, well, you could always go to my website, uh, www.joeyfelbin.com. That's got links to my store. When we, I released prints, uh, the Joey Felbin collectors group and Facebook, uh, you have to send in a request for that. And then also Instagram, Joey Feldman underscore artist. And, uh, that's where I post pens and sketches and stuff more on there than probably anything else. But if you want to get in on all the print drops, it's the collectors group on Facebook.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Awesome. And I'm Brad Dowdy. I write at pen addict.com. You can find me on Twitter at Dowdyism, D-O-W-D-Y-I-S-M and on Instagram at pen addict. And this was another wonderful episode. Myke slacked out on us, but we always end up better when he's away. So thanks.

'''Joey Feldman:''' Oh, well, I guess one thing real quick.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah.

'''Joey Feldman:''' I feel like, you know, listen, Brad, you know, I love you and I'm grateful for being on here, but I feel like I'm just on the addict podcast because like you're the pen and Myke is not here. You know, he's like gallivating around on vacation. I know. So I think that you should have me back with Myke. So, so him and I could talk a little, you know what I mean?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, I will just sit back and cackle the entire time. So we will have to set that up next time we, uh, we, we get him on, maybe we can get him to world tour over to the West coast sometime and we can set up a live show with the three of us. That would be amazing.

'''Joey Feldman:''' Do you think he could handle the West coast?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I'm not sure if he could. I mean, he thinks he's got a hip with that beard and all, but I don't know. I know. You know, I know he might can handle it. He might can handle it. We'll, we'll give him a shot at least. Okay. All right, bud. Well, I appreciate you and we will talk again soon. All right, man. Have a great day.
