CREATION
Posted by Erika
If you already have your copy of the 2008 AGDM, you've probably read Jim Hunt's fabulous article, Motivational Tools of the Trade, and maybe you've even gone to his website to see more of his cartoon work. If not, perhaps this will pique your interest...
Jim's holiday greeting is so clever I can hardly contain my joy! The comparison of Santa and Frosty to God and Adam is just too funny. Of course, Jim isn't the first artist to recreate Michaelangelo's famous work. If you missed my earlier post about Pete the Cat, check out the picture below and then go here to see more:

Body Art
Posted by Erika
I got this really cool henna tattoo yesterday, as a small Christmas gift to myself, and I can't stop looking at it. I love sun & moon imagery, and this particular design is supposed to symbolize growth and good fortune, both of which I need.
I've been wanting another real tattoo for a long time (I already have 2), but this is making me want it even more. I may have mentioned this already, but I am a HUGE fan of tattoo art. I watch Miami Ink and LA Ink on TLC, and I'm blown away by the awesomeness of each and every tattoo those artists create. I can't imagine the skill and patience it must take to learn how to "draw" with a needle on a canvas as unsteady as the human body. I'm so out of practice I can barely draw a circle on a piece of paper!
Tattoos aren't as taboo as they used to be, but they still don't get the appreciation they deserve as a valid art form. I've been trying to think of a way to include tattoo art in the next edition of AGDM -- any ideas? Would an interview with a tattoo artist be of any interest to you? I'd appreciate any feedback, as well as seeing photos of your own tattoos.
