Still going through my emails and catching up on the latest so posting may be light today, but I had to stop and post another lovely email I spotted in my inbox this morning! The lovely Brooklyn-based illustrator Alessandra Olanow (who I’ve posted about before, right here) has started her own blog thanks to the inspiration of many of YOU!
My favorite part? It’s not just any ole’ blog. Alessandra makes a practice out of listening to NPR every morning and then drawing a quick illustration of her favorite news stories. And now she’s posting them for the world to see! As a fellow NPR lover, I’m so excited to see this concept so beautifully executed— and what better way to get your daily news than through a lovely illustration???

Original art for the eye and NPR for the ear. What combo could be better?!
You’re so right, Jude!!! :)

Wow! What an incredible idea! I’m so glad you found her and that I came to visit you today so I could find her too :) Funny! Glad you’re back!
i love her concept and npr!! i’d love to start a blog, but won’t do it until i can think of some sort of unique perspective. thanks for the info (and the encouragement).
great idea! count on a daily stop avec moi.. i used to do this sort of thing for some of my boring lecture classes for friends who did not come.. it always made me and them laugh.. but the ideas stuck in your head.. suuuuuuure they did….
Thank you, Yoli— and yes, it’s SO good to be back! :)
Cindy— hmm, let’s brainstorm a unique perspective. Email me your thoughts:
