The weekend is a really good time to... have a little fun with your blog template! :D So, what do you think of my new look? I'm trying out blogger's new Dynamic Views.
I'm pretty happy about the new offerings. There's lots of ways (7, if you're counting) to keep your blog looking fresh and fun! You can check out all the latest on the new templates at the Blogger Buzz blog.
So.. aside from cleaning up my blog template a bit, I'm going to take part in a few of the activities listed above! I will draw, I will finish a work project (which is not listed above... hmmm..) I will have a nice lunch or brunch, I already saw a movie (21 Jump Street, and I highly recommend it. I'm being completely honest! it is GREAT!), I will sleep, do errands, draw, have dog time, watch a video, and maybe even try to finish the (hilarious) book I am reading. Is all that asking too much? Hmm... maybe, we'll see! What are you doing this weekend?

What boundaries (of the moral, integrity, and legal kind) do some companies and people cross in order to turn a profit? That's the subject of this illustration which I did years ago for the Graphic Artists Guild newsletter. It's fun to revisit and it still feels fresh to me. The subject matter, of course, is just as relevant as ever!

The Art of Romance: Harlequin Mills & Boon Cover Designs |
I discovered this great book at Amazon, while I was looking for something else. Lucky find!
The cover art from romance books fills me with nostalgia. My grandma would read them and
she unloaded bags upon bags of them on my mom. I was drawn to the art on the covers then,
and I still am today. The color stories used in the cover art can be a great jumping-off point.
I use this book in that way—as an inspirational tool for color palette experimentation.
It's also cool to see how the color palettes change through the decades.
This one from the early 60's above, feels very very late 50's, just as
I understand the early sixties were (thank you, Mad Men!)
These from the mid-sixties are stylistically more textured, more
painterly, looser and the palette features more citrusy acid brights.

Turning over again, from one decad
