365 Days of Startups1. What are CelebriDucks and where did the inspiration come from?

Drugs.....ok, seriously, I always wanted to create my own brand. I was already the largest publisher of advertising animation artwork from television commercials having created the first ever animation art lines for Coca-Cola, Anheuser-Busch, M&M/Mars, Pillsbury, etc....But at the end of the day, I never created the Coke bears or Bud Frogs. So when a friend, a little drunk I do believe, had this idea of making ducks that were also celebrities, it just sounded too cool to resist. King Features was willing to give us our first shot with Betty Boop and the rest as they say is history!
