Signs of the Times : New NAIL Magazine Celebrates Creatives in the Resistance

nail_magazineFolks, I don't generally run just any piece that appears in my in-box, and certainly I try to steer clear of political issues (particularly in these times) but Ted Leonhardt has been a contributor over the years, and is certainly qualified to grace the pages of DT&G. He's come up with some crazy stuff in the past, but this? Well, this might just top them all! A magazine for creatives in the resistance? I know I'll catch a lot of crap on this one, but go ahead . . . hit me with your best crap! August 10, 2017

Designing Women Friends of DT&G Magazine on Facebook 3

More of our friends at Facebook are surfacing, and we're thrilled to share with you! The disappointing part of this quest is for every designer who has cited her credentials, there are four who have no entries in the "about" fields of their Facebook accounts. While I understand how some might not want to reveal that information on Facebook, if they're showing work and interested in growing their following, we'd at least like to know something! We are happy to meet Designing Women on Facebook Ira Yuliara Designing Women on Facebook Monique Shabby Designing Women on Facebook Leslie Carr, and Designing Women on Facebook Ramsha Malik March 7, 2017
