Overall, a Good Day


Okay, so I’m just now checking Macworld news and am, of course, disappointed Apple didn’t bow to Sandwich Man and introduce plasma sets. I mean, what is Steve Jobs thinking?

Heh. Love the morning-after (literally, in this case) quarterbacking.

Good reason for ignoring that ’til now, though. Finally — finally — this kids’ how-to-draw project fell into place. An interior sample:

We flopped this book from 8.5×11 portrait to landscape today, and the change in orientation brought about one of those “well, that’s a good idea, what if I put that with it…?” moments. For several hours. There’s a phrase rattling around my brain somewhere: I love it when a plan comes together. Can’t remember what it’s from.

Usually, I show stuff to clients before posting it online. Apologies. Probably shouldn’t, but I know they’ll like it, and I’m just so happy to put a big ink line through this design on the to do list.

Either way, time for a cigar bed.

Update: Client’s response: Eureka! This is it! … Super. Sweet.
