And as you can see it certainly caught my eye. I've checked out his work both on the blog and website and most of it is very different to what's on the Devine article. You are right, the Illustration or illo as kind Edd calls it, serves to catch the reader’s eye to an otherwise boring text.

Being the artist's wife, i have been a first hand witness to the autonomous editorial illustration process. It is a curious creative talent built over 30 years, which Edd has attempted to describe a few times in his earler blog posts: December 10, 2007, January 25, 2008, and more interestingly October 15, 2007, September 21, 2007, and June 1, 2007 You are right, the Illustration or illo as kind Edd calls it, serves to catch the reader's eye to an otherwise boring text. Why not email edd at aragon.edd@gmail.com. Here's my last take as a partner and (currently unemployed) business supporter: Edd has drawn thousands of caricatures (he does not distort faces for commission work) as gifts or event entertainment. Surely he can draw a smile and a crowd for you: www.eddaragon.com cheers, Carmen I was googling Edd Aragon’s image and was fascinated by your blog entry.

My grovelling left-leaning red-faced apologies to Miranda for thinking she could be responsible for extreme crap like that. Or is that maybe the whole point?

Point of evidence 1: "Miranda Devine is a cult Middle-Australian icon and darling of the populace." Point of evidence 2: That sketch is very unflattering; much less flattering than the photo that Fairfax uses. Point of evidence 3: Look at the list of her 'friends'. Spoof. I reckon it’s a spoof.

Only slightly off-topic, you might like to check out a training video made for retailer Gamespot about how to deal with those weird and stupid things called female customers. I'm just a guy, so I'm not sure if it's offensive or laughable.
