Tales of the Cocktail unveils its 2013 poster
"Drink It In" by Robert Rodriguez
Robert gave Lindgren & Smith some details about the illustration:
"The theme of Tales this year is The Great Gatsby, and I had already decided to do a sort of thirties style even before I heard about that. It fit right in. So all of the cocktails were popular in the twenties and thirties. Working from the rear left we have the Mint Julep, the Rickey, the Corpse Reviver, and the El Presidente".

There will also be coasters in sets of four for the event
featuring Robert's last four years of posters.

Cup of Joe
 |
| Miles Hyman Studio |
"A cup of coffee became disparagingly known as ‘a cup of Joseph Daniels,’ and as legend has it, this was soon shortened to a ‘cup of Joe,’” according to biographer Lee Craig.
The website Snopes has an interesting list of theories (which includes the one above) and thinks the most likely explanation is that 'Joe' comes from the "corruption of one or two other slang words for coffee: java and jamoke" (jamoke is a compression of java & mocha).
Why not grab a cup of joe and have a read!

A Colorful Lunch with Robert Wagt
 |
| Pat Lindgren & illustrator Robert Wagt |
What do illustrator people talk about over lunch?
Their love of illustration of course! Pat mentioned how
much she likes the work of Jon Klassen and his pictures
in the children's book Extra Yarn. She explained that the
girl in the book adds color to her monochromatic town
by knitting everything in it. So what do we discover
after leaving the cafe? This yarn-bombed bench!

“To put a city in a book, to put the world on one sheet of paper -- maps are the most condensed humanized spaces of all...They make the landscape fit indoors, make us masters of sights we can't
see and spaces we can't cover.”
