By Wynter HoldenHaving a wild imagination is a good thing, if you’re five years old. Insist you see leprechauns, fairies, or unicorns when you’re an adult, on the other hand, and you’ll soon find yourself in a padded room. That is, unless you approach the situation with a little humor.
Jessica Marquis, author of Raising Unicorns: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Starting and Running a Successful - and Magical! - Unicorn Farm, not only believes the one-horned creatures exist, but that you can make money off them. “Why did I write about unicorns? Because I figured it was about time people learned how to raise 'em and raise 'em right,” she quips. While obviously tongue-in-cheek, the book is written in the style of a serious business manual.
In celebration of the tome’s release, Marquis is hosting an imaginative art show titled Unicorn Art Mix on Friday, August 12, at CO+HOOTS. Peep “real” unicorns including plush dolls by local designer Nina Miller, a talking robot, and themed prints from the book’s illustrator, Kevin Hedgpeth.

Unicornomics presents... Unicorn-Art-Mix, a unicorn-themed art show!
The awesome graphic above, courtesy of cartoonist and Center for Cartoon Studies alum Steve Seck, will be one of many works of art featured at the Unicorn-Art-Mix art show opening Friday, 8.12.11, in Phoenix, AZ, at Co+Hoots.
This family-friendly show will feature various works of art, from jewelry to sculpture to prints, featuring...well, unicorns, of course.
Why?
We have two reasons (as if we need even one!):
1. To raise money for the up-and-coming nonprofit Sailbear Labs, Inc. - 501(c)(3) pending - which assists kids in exploring creativity and the visual/entertainment arts, and
2. To celebrate the book release of the humorous how-to guide Raising Unicorns.
