Ms. Pacman video

I really love this video -- I used part of it in a video I linked lower down in this blog -- and thought I'd link it here. Great song and clever visuals.

I've been trying to embed the video from within YouTube but keep getting errors. So I'm going to try and do it the old fashioned way: paste the embed code.

Jared, my son, loves to watch this video. He keeps digging it up out of my YouTube account. I suspect that the likes watching it to help refresh his memory of that great day. And he probably doesn't remember much of it as he was pretty young. Or he just likes the song. Or he's a hopeless romantic!

A quick drawing for our Consumer section (comes out Sundays.) I found out drawing a pile of papers is much more time consuming than I imagined!

This is a slide show of work done by the Hartford Courant in the last year I put together for the Society of Newspaper Design convention in Boston, 2007.

Home Heating Prices On Fire

Heating-fire, originally uploaded by wes_rand.

A simple drawing done for an article about the skyrocketing price for home heating. A little less color texture that I usually do but it seemed to fit.

This drawing hit a soft spot coming just a couple days after going on an overnight camping trip with my son and his Webelos pack. It got very cold (below 20 degrees at one point) and we stuck close to those campfires.

Gives you a lot more appreciation for home heating systems.
