Interesting software - can remove your image from a complex background (and interpolate with context). Probably good for removing one's self from family reunion photos... Just in case you're a we**am nut, and you don't care a whit about online privacy...

When I first heard this, I thought it was a premature April Fool's prank: Microsoft releasing a phone app that combines Word, Powerpoint and Excel into one app, called "Office." It's not a joke, turns out. You do have to have a Microsoft subscription - Office 365, I imagine - to unlock it. I tried it, very impressive. OCR, too - we scanned in photos of documents, taken in low lighting, at an angle, and the app did a brilliant job converting them to text...

Microsoft's Word, PowerPoint and Excel apps are now a single app on iOS and Android, called Office.

A Contract for the Web

I wanted the web to serve humanity. It’s not too late to live up to that promise.

Wonderful talk Wednesday evening with the amazing, talented, smart and funny Art Spiegelman at our amazing, talented and smart (maybe not so funny) Westport Library...
A sold-out event, Art did not disappoint, reviewing his work on Maus, his book MetaMaus (a look at his process), collaborations with with wife Francois Mouly including New Yorker covers and the brilliant before-its-time RAW Magazine (I still have every issue!) - inspiring and delightful. Makes a person want to draw pictures...

For all of us classroom doodlers who managed to turn it into something, love this kid! You go get em!... and see if he doesn't make you think of a 9-year-old Keith Haring... [hat tip to Cheryl D]

9-year-old Joe Whale’s parents sent Joe to an after-school art class and his artistic abilities were quickly noticed. In fact, Joe was invited to decorate the dining room of the ‘Number 4’ restaurant in Shrewsbury, England.

Lynda Barry strikes again, with an upcoming book that easily qualifies as a candidate for "best publishing firm name" - Drawn & Quarterly... [hat tip to John P Horton]

Who creates a comic? The person who draws it or the person who sees it?

Amazing and fun evening, joining Steve Brodner and a huge all-star cast, a partial "Who's Who" of illustration and design, coming together to celebrate Steve's opening at the School of Visual Arts Gallery, and receipt of SVA's "Masters Series" award, placing his spectacular talent in the rarefied air in which it rightly deserves to be... Bravo, Steve!
