Hey, my name is Sharon Milne and I go by the moniker ChewedKandi. I have a passion for vector art and have been creating digital art portraits and illustrations for the past decade. I’m self taught in the programs I use and especially love teaching others the benefits and wonders of Adobe Illustrator. All the vector work I produce is 100% vector with no raster effects.
I now write tutorials and articles for sites such as VectorTuts+ and produce a variety of pieces for commercial and private clients.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Mike Speero, a graphic designer and digital artist from Gothenburg, Sweden. Mike has been featured in several galleries, exhibitions, books, interviews, magazines, blogs, websites, prints and the list goes on and on.

The book suggestion of the week is one of my favorites, it's called Typology: Type Design From Victorian Era to the Digital Age and it covers a lot of art history always linking with types and typography. It's a must read for those starting out their careers or even willing to dust off their typology and typography skills.
