While I was reading an article on Jeffery Zeldman’s blog, I came across a link for a Vintage Ad Browser. A great resource for anyone who’s looking to research advertising.

The View from IMU…
While working on a photoshoot for the IU Libraries, I noticed the lightshow at the IU Art Museum. Here’s a link to a video about their Light Totem, which was installed in 2007.
Erica Harris
Ms. Harris is a visiting artist from Brooklyn NY has an exhibition of recent collages at the Louisiana Tech School of Art Galleries. She spoke yesterday about source materials for collage and her numerous artist residencies across the globe. The work and her experiences are truly inspirational. Check out her site here.
Triumph Over Tragedy
Studio Wan-ker has been busy this fall with a new client—EYE20 Creative Corridor. I created the identities for the new EYE20 Creative Corridor and its inaugural project: Triumph Over Tragedy. In addition, I’m working on a graphic novel based on the classic Steinbeck The Grapes of Wrath with elementary students from 21 North Louisiana parishes.
Dave has been diligently creating the web site and interactive quiz for Triumph Over Tragedy: A Commemoration of the 80th Anniversary of the Great Depression/New Deal Era in North Louisiana. These are generously supported by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts totaling $110,000.
