The Original Smiley Face. Hrmph. Somebody once told me it was Milton Glaser who invented the Smiley. Not true. In fact it was Harvey Ball, a designer from Worcester, MA, who created the very first Smiley design for a local client. Find out everything about the smiley at the World Smile Foundation. However, Milton is still one of the best around - famous for his "I love NY" button designs and all sorts of other great stuff. Art is Work. 11:00:57 PM     |

Deconstructing Roy Lichtenstein. Now this is great. Here's a website showing the original comic strip frames Roy Lichtenstein based his paintings on. They've slightly screwed up though - page 1 shows the origins of some Warhol paintings, and not Lichtenstein. But anyway, it's a great website. And a big thanks to Hans Presto, who supplied me with the link via Email. 10:15:29 PM     |

In between. Check out today's The Mediaburn Radio Weblog. Gary has posted some interesting stuff to read and some nice photos. 9:54:53 PM     |
