Saint John artist Norm Jackson has made the cut — he’s off to Toronto next month to be part of the CBC tv program Dragons’ Den where budding entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to potential investors.
Jackson tells CHSJ News he was a last minute entry for local auditions held in the city earlier this year.
He’s hoping to market his paintings of historical events like the Obama inauguration — and — the moon landing.
Jackson says he thinks they lend themselves to things like calendars and commerative plates — he leaves for Toronto next month.
