Avery "Hobnobs with His Fellow Wizards" at Licensing International

Avery, Rosalia, Ricotta, Luchow and Stockholm May have just returned from Licensing International, the giant licensing industry trade show at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York. Besides diligently working his booth, Avery made time to confer, confab, and consult with his fellow stars.

From left to right, top row: finding out what it takes to be a classic from Curious George, discussing flying with C3PO, rooting out evildoers with Batman, and comparing tricks with Felix the Cat.

Second row: comparing game strategy with Mario, being the chip on R2D2's shoulder, and getting carried away by Betty Boop.

Third row: sharing big dreams with Clifford the Big Red Dog, discussing creativity with Jim Benton, and getting pointers from Freddy Krueger.

Fourth row: crooning with Elvis, bending the ear of Ox (one of the Uglydolls), clowning around with Larry Harmon, and getting to know one of the birds from England's women's soccer team.

Bottom row: having an electric conversation with Pikachu, discussing design with Craig Yoe, palling around with Maya & Miguel's Paco, and a photograph of the Ambassador Bird booth at the Licensing Show.
