Ninja and I will be going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to get intimate with some of Michelangelo’s original drawings.
We’ll have about an hour and a half to examine some of his work that isn’t shown to the public. Hopefully, we’ll be able to take some pics (sans flash natch).
So if you’ll be near the area, DM me on twitter.

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
Happy birthday, Roger! Thank you for your friendship, stories, sage-like advice, and laughs.
Lots of love,

I don’t know much about this young talent, but I always smile when viewing her illustrations. Julia Kuo has a great eye for color and tends to use muted tones with carefully placed vibrant accent colors. Her work can be seen in fine publications like American Illustration, CMYK magazine, and Creative Quarterly. Her clients include the New York Times and American Greetings (I’m going to see if I can find some of her cards later).
Of course, I had to show her penguin illo. ~____^
