Post #6 - daily heller is good


For this blog, I am taking the spotlight off myself and my own ramblings and directing you over to Design Guru Steve Heller - and his blog - Daily Heller

there's two particular entries to take a look at

1) his blog entry which talks about the Shepard Fairy Obama hope poster - this deals with permission and re-appropriation issues (blog post from Wed, Feb 11)

2) his blog entry which talks about something very American - Tropicana Orange Juice - and relevant to us visual people - the redesign of the packaging.  There's a HUGE response - so do check it out! (blog post from Wed, Feb 4)

Post #5 see spot

So, I think we have a new addition to the family - this diptych - oil on panel - 
I am thinking of a title, maybe something like "Spot observes now and then" or maybe "Spot and moss experience life together" or maybe "See Spot.  See Spot then, See Spot now."
name suggestions anyone?
PS - not entirely sure this piece is done or not!
