At first it was a bit of a drag, seeing as I have already put a significant amount of work into this blog, but in hindsight it has been nice to start fresh, focusing on influences rather than showcasing my own work.
I will be posting primarily to that blog for William Leake Brunohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05900916620403564426noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3911859939598107043.post-50099827986284530102010-10-21T11:02:00.000-07:002010-10-21T11:02:07.076-07:00Natalie Jeremijenko PSU Monday Night Lecture Seriesposter illustrations by Will Bruno
