For those of you who do not know, October 17th is the day that I came up with my trademark production, 'Angry Face Productions'.
It was created on this day, when I thought to myself, I need a sign. Something unique, and something that would be easy to remember for people when they see this sign.
Trying many different ideas by drawing pictures on the bus window, I put one in particular up on the frosted window, and decide that I like it. I know not yet what I want to call it yet however.
Go a week into the future, and I have drawn it on every bus window I can touch, and on every chalkboard I can get a hold of. I watch people's reactions to it and decide a week later that I will call it the Angry Face.
I had to use it for something, but It wouldn't have any purpose unless I did something with it.
Skip ahead with me a year, and we find myself in video class. I have still put the Angry Face on every window and chalkboard. I've even made a couple of shirts with it on it.
I am asked to come up with a logo to tell people what movies I've made. . .and instantly I know.
Everyone in the class looks at me with raised eyebrows, and I grin. I come up with Angry Face Inc. And for a few movies, that's what it is, and the year later, I am told that because I could get sued, I change it reluctantly to Angry Face Productions. I work on the design a little more, and work with the color scheme a little more to advance it in a couple of ways in terms of making it look good.
I do not however quit putting them on windows, and everyone in school recognizes it. That is how often I draw it on stuff. . . and that is when it happens.
I await for the bus to pick up my classmates and I to take us home one day after school, and as we wait for some middle schoolers to get off first, I see it.
An Angry face, smeared on five windows. . .windows I did not touch.
They grin at me as they get off and see my Angry face tee-shirt.
My friends look at me with jaws lowered, my bus driver laughs.
I have created something that middle schoolers think is "cool" and they don't even know what it is!
Recently, I was looking around on facebook, and discovered something!
Two years after the bus incodent, I see that middle schoolers are still putting it on THEIR bus windows. . .THEIR chalkboards. I have created an icon! People are drawing it everywhere!
Today, I am a well known film and video maker, and explained to the middle schoolers what they were doing.
I'm not entirely sure how long the Angry Face will go, but one thing is for sure; until then, Angry Face Productions will thrive!
