My weblog ELECTRON BLUE, which concentrated on science and mathematics, ran from 2004-2008. It is no longer being updated. My current blog, which is more art-related, is here.

Spring at Starbucks
It turns out that my art is acceptable at Starbucks after all. It was only that one shop manager who rejected my work. At the other Starbuckses which are managed by my friends, or which are under the jurisdiction of another regional manager, my decorations are welcome, as long as I make room for the employees to write in the daily or weekly coffee theme. I leave the center empty, and they fill it. I have also eliminated the words from my borders, so there is no specific mention of a season or an advertising theme. That way the border can be neutral and just look nice. The "Daily Offerings" logo is not designed by me, it is already printed on the board.
On Thursday I did a border at one of my friendly Starbucks, energized by plenty of espresso. I
filled it with leaves and flowers, adapted from a book of Victorian designs. (What would I do
without Dover
Books?) There are also some purple-red jewels made into flowers. Florals and foliage
cannot offend anyone. And I get that Spring feeling in there, because Spring is coming, it really
is.
