Overnight job for Time Magazine
posted:
The call came in about 11am on Tuesday morning from Time Magazine's AD D.W. Pine....
 "Hi Dave, Edel Rodriquez gave me your name and thought you might be right for this project."
Can you do it? The Deadline is tomorrow about 2pm.  I need 31 emoticons icons for a story
about New Emoticons for 2007.  Emoticons are little icons that are included in msn mail and
other e.mail applications.  "Uh, sure I said! "  Long story short, got my sketches done, approved
with some small adjustments, "need an older Saddam, bigger hair on Kim Jong Il"....

Anyway, I had the finals into D.W. early the next morning.  No changes at all required by Time. 
Dream scenario!  Thanks Edel, Thanks D.W.!  I've included some of the clever writing that makes
the emoticons make sense for some of the  icons.  Buy today's Time Magazine to see the rest of
the copy written by Teddy Wayne and Mike Sacks.
