Ladies and gentlemen, in the spirit of all things awesome (a.k.a. this time of year), we have a super special gift for you. It’s a new Twitter Artist Series, and this month we’re featuring designer Mr. Gareth. He’s a big fan of mountains, oceans, taxi cabs, bikes, billiards, humility, imagination, backgammon, creating, reading, telling jokes and oddly enough, giving directions. You can learn more about this talented designer, art director, illustrator and copywriter by following him on Twitter.
I met up with Gareth last weekend for an egg cream and asked him to describe his contribution to our ongoing series. He slurped down the prototypical New York beverage and replied, “The design is an abstraction based on the observation of Etsy as a robust, colorful and diverse network that connects people with similar style, taste and ideas.” I love that description.

I don't know if this was deja vu or if I was lucky but... on May 11, I asked a question about the Heroes TV Series that if there was going to be a season 6 ( volume 6 ). I got a few answers from people. The next day, I went to NBC.com and checked out the heroes webpage and I read all these tweets (twitter) from other actors and make-up artist saying goodbye to heroes and the show was being canceled. I also checked the yahoo news saying the Heroes TV Series was canceled and was making a two hour episode to end it.
