Like many others, I was inspired by Brock Davis' "Make Something Cool Everyday." I didn't, however, want to limit myself to having to make items within a single day. It also seemed more realistic to make designs one day and then use them to make an object on another day or over the course of several days. And hence the notion of "The Objects of Design."

Yesterday I worked out the lion and mouse design in Adobe Illustrator. And today I show the linocut and the cards I printed based on that design. And I was happy to not limit myself to one day because it has been a while since I have printed anything and I forgot how long it takes to setup and get a half way decent image.
