Lou's post of a couple days back reminded me that I meant to post my own portrait of Stefan Kiefer (Der Spiegel AD) for the book honoring him, once it was in his hands and no longer a secret. Barbara Berry and the book's designer, Astrid Shemilt, used Blurb to produce the book and so it is available to preview and purchase here.

I incidentally took a video of my studio while playing around with my new Flip Mino. This is as good a look as I am willing to give until someone rents a dumpster and carts two tons of my junk away.


I'll let Orbit show you around the place. Don't blink and don't feed the animals.

There is a newsletter called "Beyond the Perf" that goes out to stamp collectors who subscribe. They interviewed me about some of the definitive stamps that I've drawn for the US Postal Service. I'm just now understanding the different terms for postage stamps and I thought some of you who have worked for the USPS would like to know these things, too. (Didn't realize I was pulling the work cart with these.) They told me they will start to put archived articles up later this month.


Plus you will surely want to bask one more time in an array of my drawings on stamps. Ha..!

This year's Call for Entries from the Society of Illustrators isn't a favorite of mine, but something caught my eye that made it even more of a puzzle to me. Did anyone else notice that the right edge about five inches from the top has a circle with the words, "No Photoshop...!?" written in it? The rest of the circles that contain messages are encouragements to enter and affirmations that this year you will be sure to get accepted.

Can someone tell me what this comment means? Digital art is a touchy subject over there, almost twenty years after Adobe introduced one of the most magical tools an artist could want. I don't think this comment helps. Or am I misunderstanding its meaning?
