Since I missed the opportunity to be the first to blog Mark Weaver’s art, I’ll be one of the first to blog about another friend, Aaron Trout. Aaron is currently a graduate student at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. His art blog hasn’t been updated in a while, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t busy. I stole this pic from a recently-updated Facebook gallery.

Mark Weaver is another former classmate of mine, and since his “Make Something Cool Every Day” project was picked up by BoingBoing.net via Morbid Anatomy back in January, he’s been blogged on about a million different blogs. But instead of just blogging about Mark’s work, 16-year-old designer Angelo Logan was lucky enough to score an interview with him. Way to go, Angelo! (When I was 16 I’d just discovered Photoshop.)

I’ve been following Mark’s career for a number of years now, and am pleased to see him succeed in this rough-and-tumble design world. Of course, I’m not jealous or anything. I just wish I’d blogged him first.
