Things are probably easier now with computer software but I couldn’t think of a more challenging job than a police sketch artist. Some of the ‘artists’ below should think about finding less challenging careers as this one doesn’t seem to be working out for them.

What do you think of the new World Trade Center logo? The design firm Landor Associates came up with the new logo as part of a $3.5 million dollar branding package. If I was the owner of the new NYC WTC I would be hoping that I still had $3,499,995 on credit with the design […]

Bruegel’s art may not have been as strange as the bizarre worlds created by Hieronymus Bosch but some of his […]

I couldn’t use it even if I wanted to though as I have an Android phone and there only seems to be an iPhone version available at the […]
