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.

Lots of love,
Ninja
