Mumford has made 6 trips to Iraq between 2003 and 2008, emailing his drawings to artnet.com as a visual record of his experiences, and subsequently exhibiting them in numerous shows worldwide.

He published many of the drawings in Baghdad Journal, An Artist in Occupied Iraq, Drawn & Quarterly, 2005. A selection of his drawings is included in “The Storyteller”, an exhibition curated by Claire Gilman and Margaret Sundell for ICI now on view at the Art Gallery of Parsons The New School for Design in New York.”-

-”CALVERTON, N.Y. — Calverton National Cemetery conducts a special ceremony for veterans who had no one attend their funeral. On the second Wednesday of each month the cemetery organizes a color guard and a flag-folding detail to give the deceased service members proper honors. Michael Picerno, Calverton National Cemetery director, estimates that 300-400 veterans are buried each year without friends or family at their service.”-

I was afraid that the company would put their logo on the newly saved form, but to my surprise it came back ad free.

I would recommend this for any of my customers to try. How is this web software working for you?

I make no bones about it, I dislike yousendit.com. Not the technology, but the thought that you would pay (or with ads) for uploading and downloading large files. Most don’t realize that you can easily do this yourself with your own website.

You can upload large files using free FTP software, like filezilla, then copy and paste a direct link from your website.  You can also have a web master create an upload page for your company’s website, like the one my clients at Print Center AZ have setup. http://printcenteraz.com/upload_new.html

I have realized over the years, many business owners do not have the time to learn these techniques themselves.

Although still in BETA, isendr.com has created a simple (and free!) web application to use.  This web program creates a simple upload and link that your clients can download from their email.  A very simple and elegant way to handle these kinds of transactions.

Here is some great free advice for an aspiring graphic artist. Why pay for photos when you can get some for free.

I have been using  sxc.hu for over 5 years now and its the first place I look to find the perfect photo a client or friend may need for their project. I personally have downloaded hundreds of high resolution photos from this site for my work.  Have I always found what I was looking for? No, but it was always a great starting point to give me an idea of what I really needed.

Now pay attention to their Term of Use as some photographers who have contributed will ask that you acknowledge them in your work.

This article masterfully shows the true art of book design. Some may say that creating a book is just about copying and pasting words onto a page. But it can so much more than that.
