My wife’s awesome Page One illustration

click for larger imageWell-known graphics-design blogger Charles Apple mentions Andrea’s homage to the St. Pepper’s album cover for a San Jose Mercury News story about friendship. She also did an interactive online version (it’s near the bottom of the Web page.) This marks the second time he’s praised her work.

I’m happy to say that she included a Star Wars reference (and even a Star Trek one).

She’s been doing some great work. A page-design class I recently took with Poynter featured one of her illustrations as an example of good design. I was proud to point out to my classmates that I was married to the graphics artist –- it was sort of like being at a concert and being able to tell everyone that I’m dating the lead singer.

In an uncanny coincidence, I can also report that she’s not bad at “The Beatles: Rock Band.”
