I want to share with you an original piece of art. I will readily admit that there are many in my family who are more artsy than I am, and I value their feedback. Is this a talent you think I should be pursuing, or...
I did it in Microsoft Paint while Emy was sitting next to me reading a book. It only took me like 4 minutes so forget you if you don't like it. I could do something way better if I didn't feel so rushed. Please see the title of this post for the name I'm assigning to this beauty:

INSIDE THE MIND OF MILTON GLASER
MILTON GLASER, designer of the ubiquitous logo, is arguably one of the most iconic and most imitated graphic designers in America. Examples of his work, which run the gamut from album posters for Bob Dylan to studies of the paintings of Piero della Francesca, hung in the BYU Museum of Art during summer and fall 2006 in an exhibition titled Just Enough Is More: The Graphic Design of Milton Glaser. The following quotes are from an address given by Glaser at BYU on Sept. 28, 2006.
Perpetual Learning
I go to work every morning with the possibility that I might learn something I don’t already know. . . . If you look at a problem as an opportunity to show what you already know, it’s useless. You should look at every problem and think, “What can I learn by doing this?” And if you think you can learn nothing, forget about doing it.
Harmony of Words and Images
I have become increasingly interested in words, because I think words are images. I don’t see a separation between words and images. I think the right three words can create as much imagery as any motion picture.
Primacy of Drawing
I am a great believer in the primacy of drawing as a means of engaging the world and understanding what you’re looking at.
Drawing Is Seeing
I was sitting in front of my mother one night at the age of 17 or 18, and I looked at her and thought, “I’d like to do her portrait.” I’d never done her portrait before. And you know what happens when your mind shifts into drawing mode—you suddenly see something for the first time. And I realized as I decided to draw that I had absolutely no idea what she looked like. The image of her appearance had impressed itself on my mind probably when I was 3 years old, and it hadn’t changed very much. I was able to see her only because I made the decision to draw her.
Defining Design
Design is simply planning. My definition of design is this: it is going from an existing position to a preferred one. It’s everything.

1. milton glaser's got nothing on ben head.
2. i want a copy- a BIG copy. one that will cover the entire room of me and libby's future bedroom.
i want a pregnant copy. did you guys watch 30 rock yet?
We actually DID watch most of 30 Rock a week or so ago.
You know, I think Emy and I must just by hypersensitive to sleaze. We all have our own levels and I think we've set ours pretty much right at The Office.
I haven't watched much of 30 Rock, but it seems to me, that and Arrested Development are up just one more notch on the that's-too-offensive-for-my-tastes scale.
Am I wrong? Do I just need to try another episode?
You guys probably got the worst episode, if you saw the one I'm thinking of. SORRY!
Hey Dane, I'm going to find you a lab coat.
What is 30 Rock???
