Warning: Atypically Cute!
For my Design Methods class, I was asked to make a mock poster for the Free Library Festival. Now, this sort of subject matter is not what I’m used to. I had a bit of trouble coming up with something that was family-oriented, however I was able to come up with three color sketches. The one I liked was Captain Ahab stabbing Moby Dick amidst a giant splash of water and lightning. Well, the consensus was that it wasn’t really getting the point across… neither was the one of a slovenly Wilbur and under-personified Charlotte. So, the following is what I’m currently working on, and it is the cutest thing I’ve ever painted, rivaled only by a painting of a sleeping baby giraffe and flamingo from high school.
Anyway, here ya go, I’ve still got a couple more hours left to go on it, plus typography and other digital elements.

Back Up!
Okay, so some of you… the few of you that actually follow this blog, may have noticed that my site was hacked… again. Well, I’ve gotten to be a bit of a pro of getting rid of these things, since it happens way too often, and we are back up with out too much grief. I even got to keep my past blog posts. I thought my .htaccess file locking out the entire country of Turkey would thwart the Turkish hackers, but then they decided to attack from France. I’m figuring out how to tighten up security, so this doesn’t happen again.
Additionally, you may have to update your bookmarks, as I changed the directory of my blog. It’s now at http://www.jonlaing.com/blog
Sorry if this actually inconvenienced anyone other than myself.
Oh, and also…
