The Body Painting Art, craft and graphic design
Art allows expression of the person within. Individual feelings appear in many forms such as music, theatre, poetry and painting among others. Body painting is a highly personal display that brings life from beyond the canvas.
It conveys not only beauty in design but the oneness of that design with the model and the artist.

Body Painting Arts
A huge boost for the summer, get your paint brushes ready! Cangkul, the author of the Body Painting Blog writes :
Body painting is an art that uses the human body as a canvas. It is a form of painting pictures or spreading colours on human body to look is pleasant to the eyes of the viewers. — Body Painting — Female or Male! Body Painting Style Young The Cover Story
The Legend of Prince’s Font Symbol Floppy Disks
We’ve all been following the continuing news stories surrounding the death of music legend Prince (Or, the ‘artist formally known as Prince’) . . . but did you know bout the symbol?
In 1993, Prince frustrated lawyers and computer users when he changed his name to a glyph known as “The Love Symbol.” This was frustrating for people who wanted to both speak and write about Prince. Writers, editors, and layout designers wouldn’t be able to type the actual name of the Artist Formerly Known As Prince. So Prince had a custom-designed font distributed on a floppy disk.

The First Female Typographer
I had this on the docket to publish as part of our “Designing Women” celebration, but somehow it slipped through the cracks and only turned up today.
In the fifteenth century women had few career opportunities. Their options were very limited and pessimistically and perhaps a little exaggeratedly summed up by Sherrill Cohen, who wrote that medieval women faced just three options: ‘marriage, monasticism, and prostitution.’ … but here’s the REST of the story, about Anna Rügerin, who published two folio editions in the summer of 1484 John Boardley for ilovetypography.com The Cover Story
Yet another anatomy-of-type discovered
Ever since I published the first digital “Anatomy of Type” in 1986 as part of our “Monster Fonts” public domain collection, I’ve always noted dozens of “new” anatomies of type to appear … they’re usually pretty good, and usually just about exactly like mine!
