Denver - AIGA National Design Conference

WOW! So many people know Arngee. Little introduction has to be given these days.

Here Arngee is with Marian Bantjes, who was with someone who immediately recognized Arngee and explained, "That is the mascot form Syracuse!" I did not have to say anything more.

Marian Bantjes, a self-described graphic artist, was a book typesetter for 10 years and a designer for nine, but since 2003 she has pursued her artistic and typographic obsessions. Complex, structured, sometimes funny and always obsessive, her illustrations have appeared in magazines such as Eye, STEP, Wallpaper, WIRED, Print and Communication Arts. Although based on a small island near Vancouver, Canada, she stays connected with an impressive array of collaborators and clients, including Stefan Sagmeister, Michael Bierut, Saks Fifth Avenue and Young & Rubicam. Since 2004 Bantjes has also been a contributor to the design blog Speak Up, where her posts range from quirky musings to profane rants. She hopes to be living proof of what happens when you work for love, not money.
