My friend and illustrator, Roger Huyssen, turns 62 today! During his career, he’s illustrated over twenty Time magazine covers (some of which are in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery). Some of his clients include IBM, AT&T, Kodak, Coca-Cola, M&M/Mars, Universal Studio, NFL, and Jim Henson studios. Even with such a huge portfolio and impressive client list, he will probably be best known for work with Paula Scher on the Boston album cover.
Happy birthday, Roger! Thank you for your friendship, stories, sage-like advice, and laughs.

My attempt to transform all the anger and create something beautiful.
Ze Frank’s from52to48withlove project received both sweet and bitter reactions. In response to the growing number of angry emails, Ze made a new project—Angrigami.
A square sheet consisting of snippets from some of the emails received can be downloaded here. Cut it out, fold it into something pretty, and send a pic to ze@zefrank.com, to be included in this gallery.
If you’re curious to learn how I folded this, I’ll post an instructional pdf later.
