Rules for you. Rules for me.
It is nice when work and play become one. As an avid golfer, it’s always a pleasure when Golf World’s Tim Carr calls for an assignment. We’ve worked with each other at various magazines and have played rounds together. The newest assignment discusses golf considering two sets of rules for professional and recreational golfers. Since Tim is a better golfer than me, this sounds like an excellent idea.
Talk talk
It is amazing how completely people have adapted to smartphones. You cannot escape friends who are constantly checking their phones and so absorbed they miss everything happening around them. The most painful thing is I am one of those people. Illustration for New York Times Booming column about the annoyance of friends tied to their smartphones. Laura Chang, Editor.
From here to there
Jodi Foster’s acceptance speech at the Golden Globes was fascinating. It was heartfelt, rambling, sometimes funny, sometimes angry. I was surprised when she more or less came out. I thought she had already come out years ago. What I did appreciate was her resentment at a pop culture that feels celebrities are obligated to divulge personal lives.

State of mind
One of my friends has a brilliant formula for happiness. Reality-Expectations = Level of happiness. I am definitely guilty of the “grass is always greener” syndrome. Illustration for PlanSponsor magazine listing the best to worst states for retirement. SooJin Buzelli, AD.
Happy New Year.
My favorite thing about New Year is the chance to mentally reboot and start with a clean slate. May everyone have a prosperous and happy 2013. Illustration for CFO magazine, Tim Priddy, AD. Communication Design Inc, design firm.
Happy holidays.
May everyone’s holiday wishes come true. Happy holidays.
Through the forest
We live in a plugged in society. The Yang studio has a desktop computer, iPad, laptop, iPhones and various iPods. All this for just one person. Perhaps the pendulum needs to swing the other way.
