Pretty Distraction Before Morning Meeting
Sigh. Some people.... Jessica Hische is on my sh*t list this am for being so bloody talented. See her Daily Drop Cap: An Illustrative Initial Every Day for a little pick-me-up and to, as she would say "beautify" your blog posts.

ahhhhh, the placid beauty. I immediately went to the website and just wanted to get a cup of herbal tea and sit and admire. Bloody talented, she is. But I will thank her for my daily inspiration (and for my way cool initial! Now looking for an "S")
Love it! We should have one every day on SPD.org
She's selling a cool letterpress poster of lots of these ... and individual letter prints too, so Nancy, you could get an "S" of your very own!

She's also got a really terrific FAQ page on her website that describes her illustration process and background and all kinds of things that I always wonder about:

And she's got awesome sentence-forming web addresses.
and she's a killer illustrator/designer too.

She also has some great insight into her creative process on her FAQ page ... we discussed some of that and her advice to aspiring illustrators/creatives on the student blog here:
