It has been a walk down memory lane this week, with several awards bringing old favorites up to the top of the blog.
This week I heard that both my
segway lobster spread for
SKI Magazine and the
contractor disaster piece for
This Old House won
Society of Publication Design Awards of Merit.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations, John. You are having a good year.
ReplyDeleteFor the 'This Old House' image, did you use a sponge to get that nice texture in the background?
