While working my way through my RSS feed reader this afternoon, I happened quite luckily across a post in one of my favorite corporate blogs that caused me to pause, and to reflect, and to smile. So I thought I would pass the content along here in Curious Affairs.
DMD’s Eric Teng’s post tells of his attendance at AIGA Design Legends Gala’s Silent Auction last week, and of scanning through the many pieces of artwork donated by designers for the event, until he came across a small, hand-painted lithograph by illustrator Maira Kalman.
The image is, I think, extraordinarily beautiful in its simplicity, the story behind it incredibly interesting, and, as Teng concluded, the message communicated by it increasingly relevant today.
Read the entire post here.
In addition to loving the message, the execution is beautiful! The hand-painted type is unique and full of variation, and the painted red has so much depth to it. Thanks!
Isaac: I knew you would appreciate it, as well. I absolutely love design and illustration that is this simple yet this visually arresting.
Love it
Riese: I’m glad you enjoyed it as much as I did, my dear.
