Just so we aren't caught floundering behind the curve in the fast changing world of blogging looks, here is the latest artistic rendition of the logo from Are We there yet?

Having followed the artwork coming from the blog in recent months, I think it is fair to say that the in-house artist, Artmunkey, has a personal and consistent style, which, if she wants to go professional, bodes well for the future. And at the tender age of 15, time is definitely on her side. (Can we buy shares?)

As a fan of Vincent van Gogh, I also feel it is my duty to remind Artmunkey Amanda to keep her ears out of the way of stray knives.

Original, in a production line kind of way

As a former struggling artist, I think developing a distinctive style is the big challenge. Almost anyone can rattle off a one-off piece of inspiration, but if you want to be commercially viable, people like to know what theme or mark they are getting.

That nutter Damien Hirst, the guy who stuck a sheep in formaldehyde and got world-wide acclaim, remember him? Well, he had a distinctive style in painting too. Spots. Sorry to disappoint anyone, but I knew someone who claimed to be one of a team of artists who used to paint his spot paintings for him, before he signed them off as his own! When you hit the big time, I guess you can afford such indulgences.
