Today is the day to Seize the Bug!

As two fathers with a handful of kids between our families, we often found ourselves discussing the ways we each encouraged our children to utilize their imaginations. How could we, as busy, active parents, facilitate the growth of our children’s self-expression and natural creative spirit?

Our conversation eventually swung around to a common childhood memory- the moment in which our little legs carried us around our backyards with our nets in hand. The warm summer day eventually fell into dusk. Within the shadows appeared little fireflies that began to flicker and fade across the yard evading our nets as we buzzed about with awe and wonder. It was in these moments when we began to explore the endless possibilities before us, developing creative strategies on how we might capture those little bugs to inspect and admire them, if only for an instant.

These brief encounters inspired our drawings for days to come.  One by one, we filled sheets of paper with drawings, words, colors, and ideas.  These blank pages promised adventure and the potential to lead our imaginations down a labyrinth of winding paths.

Seize the Bug was founded to support everyone’s need for creative exploration, a special place to further develop a sense of wonder and put it on paper. We hope our personal encounters with those fireflies serve as inspiration for everyone to create cleverly crafted stories and pieces of art of their own.

This is only the beginning! We have our nets in hand and a spark of creativity in our eyes. Join us on our adventure as we introduce a line of creative tools certain to encourage everyone to explore their minds and expand their hearts.

When you Seize the Bug, possibilities are endless!
