My good friend and one-time employer Martha Haywood (above right) suddenly and tragically passed away on this past Monday, June 9th, 2008.
I've set up a site with information about her memorial, which will be on July 12th, in San Francisco.

Martha was a successful businesswoman, President of MSI Learning in San Francisco,
which is where I met her. Martha was a great teacher, spending considerable time helping her students (in person and around the world) learn about project management.
Beyond her business success, Martha had a wonderful sense of humor and generous personality. She designed and provided all the floral displays for our wedding. She volunteered her time to work with at risk youth in San Francisco.
Professional Biography
Prior to joining MSI, Ms. Haywood held director and senior management positions at technology companies such as Harris Corporation and Telebit Corporation. She has over 18 years experience managing technology product development teams, and began her career as an electrical engineer. The combination of technical and management experience led her to specialize in the area of virtual teams and eLearning. She directed MSI’s research in the area of virtual teams, and was key in the development of the “Principles of Effective Distance Communication” which are at the core of MSI’s instructional method. Ms. Haywood is the author of “Managing Virtual Teams.”
I'm a member of the day at Altpick.com. I recently joined. It's one of the better looking illustration promo sites, and has many good illustrators.

ICON 5 | NYC | 08 | THEILLUSTRATIONCONFERENCE.ORG (July 2-5)
The ICON5 Illustration Conference is coming up this July in New York. I just signed up. I went to ICON4 in San Francisco in 2005, and it was amazing. Great workshops with top illustrators, practical information about promotion & legal issues, and fun networking with other artists from around the world. You can see some images from the ICON4 in this set:

Today is one of those rare times that I get to check off a life goal, like getting an illustration published in the New Yorker. I found the current Anniversary issue on the stands today and took a while before I found the spread of some of the Eustace Tilley contest winners' work. I was flattered by my illustration appearing first under the title. Wow. Thanks to the New Yorker and NewYorker.com for holding this contest. There are a ton of amazing artists posting work on Flickr, and it was a thrill to have the most prestigious, illustrator-friendly publication come to us right here, our electronic art studio complex.
The names of the artists are in small type, running vertically on the margin.
For anyone needing illustrations, I am available.
Cheers!
