Wednesday: Looking for organizational units? Try vintage peanut butter tins.

Dear Art Directors,

How about these for a card boxed-set license? They are fully available, brand-new pieces. Why does dog stuff need to be schmaltzy? Dog lovers can be cool. Dang, every woman I know owns I dog.

I love Bonnie’s line and her color and her people.

On Wednesday: Helen Dardik’s flyer for Surtex NYC

Tomorrow: How cool is this? Helen’s art for a Blue Q bottle.

Bonnie’s line work is pure freedom and confidence. Partly why she’s so busy with work is that you can see the pleasure she gets from making art.

Tomorrow: Helen’s work for the new Klutz book.

“Hello Everyone!

Here’s the last little job I just finished up for Shop Smart. The article was about different wines produced around the world. I also included the other roughs I did for them.”

Tomorrow: New piece for Skirt! Magazine by Linda Ketelhut

Bonnie has this unencumbered, non-neurotic line quality. I’m fascinated by my artists and their work as a reflection of their psyche. Bonnie lived in Seattle for many years and now mostly lives in Rome. She has a wonderful spirit, very positive. Experimentation in her work comes easily.

Tomorrow: A look at Suzy Ultman’s fascinating art process. Her preliminary sketches.

“Hi Lilla,

This was yesterday’s paper. It translates ‘The Change has Arrived’. Italy (and I believe most of Europe) is as excited for the Obama win as we all are in the US. There was a Democrats Abroad election party that started at 1 am our time and lasted all night broadcasting the event (they served pancakes and American-style breakfast) everyone was overjoyed from the results and so proud. Its a remarkable time full of changes and hope. I’m so grateful I can be a small part in it, even if it is from another country. YES, Anything is possible!”

Here’s what Bonnie wrote us:
“I did a REALLY early absentee ballot vote. :) this election is so exciting I can’t stop watching it!

[The vote early illustrations] all look SUPER cool, here’s mine. Enjoy!”
