Steven Heller on the Print website.
The Society of Graphic Designers of Canada asks: “As proud Canadians, do you want something truly memorable for Canada’s 150th anniversary logo? Help us send a loud and clear message to Ottawa about the identity development process for Canada’s 150th anniversary celebrations. Use the form below to send your message and sign the national petition:”
Canadians are using this website to petition the Government to develop a Design Advisory Board for the 150th celebrations identity. We are recommending that the board have representation from each of Canada’s three design associations (GDC, SDGQ, RGD). Use the petition form to make your voice heard, show your support for Canada’s professional design community, and send a clear message to Ottawa about the development of the identity for Canada’s 150th anniversary celebrations.

Canada’s 150th birthday will be ‘partisan’ bash without anniversary agency: NDP

Let it snow
Alan Gardner in The Daily Cartoonist.
Dave Coate has an excellent round-up of comic strips by legendary cartoonists Charles Schulz and Bill Watterson on the theme of snowmen. Snowmen have so much potential for humor and both cartoonists mined it well.

The drawing desk of Rina Piccolo. |
The fine folks over at King Features posted photos of some of their talent’s studios.
I love photos like these. What stands out to me is the lack of the drafting tables.

Bizarro Original Art for Sale
From the Bizarro blog.
I stopped doing drawings on paper in November of 2011 (I now draw directly on computer) so my original art from previous years is now all that will ever be available. A friend of mine has begun offering one image per week on eBay, which is a great way for you to get one for less than I normally charge. Here’s this week’s eBay listing of a Sunday cartoon which I have featured on this blog. I charge $600 for these but as I write this, the bid is less than $50! I’m late in posting this so there are only a couple of days left on this sale, I think. Hop on over there and pick it up, I need the money!

USA Today swipes graphic from Scott Bateman
Alan Gardner in The Daily Cartoonist.
Scott Bateman’s infographic on the recent cold spell that he posted on his Tumblr site last Friday ended up in USA Today yesterday – kind of. The infographic that ran in USA Today was cleaned up (language), but essentially left intact (see below).
The incident was reported by Jim Romensko. USA Today’s editor-in-chief David Callaway apologized to Scott and assured that he was addressing the issue to make sure Scott receives the proper credit and the lapses inside the paper were addressed.

The Art Of Rube Goldberg
Many people know Rube Goldberg as an adjective — a shorthand description for a convoluted device or contraption. But Rube Goldberg was a real person — one who earned a Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning and who captivated imaginations with drawings of complex chain reactions that completed the simplest of tasks.
Goldberg died in 1970, but Jennifer George, his granddaughter, has collected the zany world he created in a coffee table book, The Art of Rube Goldberg: (A) Inventive (B) Cartoon (C) Genius.
