My planned post on codes of ethics became a series, so rather than split that up, I’m going to inject a little Blog Less (and perhaps a little bit of Spring) into the end of your week.

I can’t recall where I first came across Julia Guther’s work, but it has stuck with me for a long time. She has a beautiful minimalistic style that combines expressive linework with restrained use of color and mixed media. I like it.

One piece in particular has stayed with me and is why, even though its been several years since I first found Julia’s site, I still can’t forget her work.

This is an uncanny representation of my wife, Jacqueline, who also happens to be into plants.

Do yourself a favor and check out Julia’s site.

Thanks for the link, n! I visited her site and her artwork has an embedded sense of calm and serenity that’s simply beautiful.

You're reading BlogLESS, a thrice-weekly blog about the ethics of advertising, branding, design, social media and business. We are also fans of zen, although this itself is perhaps not so zen.
